Zygomatic Implants in Turkey for Severe Bone Loss: Fixed Teeth Without Bone Grafts
Zygomatic implants are long implants that anchor in your cheekbone instead of your thin upper jaw. That means many patients can skip bone grafts and get fixed teeth in days, not months.
Not sure which option fits? Compare them with our dental implants, All-on-4 implants and sinus lifting pages, or see our before and after dental results.
Can You Get Dental Implants With Severe Upper Jaw Bone Loss? Yes, Here Is How
After years without teeth, or after gum disease, the upper jaw can shrink. The sinus drops down, and regular implants have nothing to hold on to. Many people hear “bone graft first” and a wait of 6 to 12 months.
Zygomatic implants take a different route. They are 30 to 55 mm long and anchor in the dense cheekbone (the zygoma). Together with standard implants in the front jaw, they carry a full fixed bridge.

Zygomatic implants may suit you if:
- You were told you need a sinus lift or big bone graft
- You wear loose dentures and cannot chew well
- Past implants failed because of low bone
- You want fixed teeth without a long wait

Plan about 5 to 7 days for surgery, a temporary bridge when suitable and early checks. Final teeth usually follow after healing, at a second visit.
Is zygomatic implant surgery painful?
Surgery is done under sedation or general anesthesia. Afterwards, expect swelling and soreness for several days, managed with prescribed medication.
Who is not a good candidate for zygomatic implants?
Active sinus infection, uncontrolled diabetes, heavy smoking, past head or neck radiation or poor hygiene may mean waiting or another option. Your doctor decides after a full check.
How long do zygomatic implants last?
With good hygiene, regular check-ups and no smoking, implants are designed for long-term use. The teeth on top may need repair or replacement over time.

All-on-4 uses four standard implants and needs enough bone. Zygomatic implants use the cheekbone, so they suit thin upper jaws. Compare on our All-on-4 page.
