Overview
What are Zygomatic Implants?
Zygomatic implants are a specialised solution for patients with severe upper jaw bone loss who have been told they are not candidates for conventional implants. Instead of relying on the thin, resorbed jawbone, these longer implants anchor into the strong zygomatic (cheek) bone, which rarely loses volume. This often eliminates the need for major bone grafting and sinus lifts, and in many cases a fixed bridge can be attached within days. The procedure requires advanced surgical expertise and 3D planning, both of which our maxillofacial team provides in accredited Istanbul hospitals. For patients with failing upper dentures and little bone, zygomatic implants can restore a fixed, functional smile in a single stage.
