Zygomatic Implant Treatment is a special dental implant treatment method used in case of missing teeth. This treatment method is preferred in cases where traditional implants cannot be placed, especially in cases where the upper jaw bones are insufficient. Zygomatic implants are inserted into the zygomatic bones, which are longer and stronger in the upper jaw bones, so they provide stronger support.
Zygomatic Implant Treatment Procedure:
- Consultation and Evaluation: The first step is to evaluate the patient by the dentist and discuss treatment options. The insufficiency of the upper jaw bones is evaluated and the appropriate treatment plan is determined.
- Imaging and Planning: A detailed imaging is performed before the placement of Zygomatic implants. Using computed tomography (CT) scans and other imaging techniques, the correct positioning of the implants is planned.
- Surgical Placement: The placement of implants requires a surgical procedure. This procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia and is placed in the zygomatic bones. Zygomatic implants are positioned differently than traditional implants because they are longer and more robust.
- Healing Process: It may take several months for the implants to fuse with the jawbone. During this time, temporary dentures or other temporary restorations can be used. Throughout the healing process, the dentist regularly checks the condition of the implants and jawbone.
- Permanent Restorations: When the implants successfully fuse and heal with the jawbone, permanent restorations are placed. These restorations allow the patient to regain oral health, function and aesthetic appearance. Zygomatic implants provide effective treatment of missing teeth and allow patients to achieve a firm and aesthetic smile.
Zygomatic Implant Treatment offers an effective solution for patients with missing teeth. However, it is important to discuss treatment options and results in detail with a dentist. The most appropriate treatment plan should be determined for each patient and the treatment process should be carefully managed. Zygomatic Implant Treatment offers a number of advantages for patients with missing teeth. This treatment method is preferred especially in cases where traditional implants cannot be used when there is insufficiency or loss of the upper jaw bones. Zygomatic implants are placed in the zygomatic bones, creating a stronger foundation and thus providing a more robust tooth restoration.
This treatment allows patients to achieve an appearance and function similar to natural teeth. Zygomatic implants, like other implants, feel like natural teeth and restore the ability to chew. In addition, aesthetically satisfactory results are obtained and increase the confidence of patients. Zygomatic Implant Treatment can significantly improve patients’ quality of life. Missing teeth can negatively affect daily activities and social interaction. Thanks to this treatment method, patients’ confidence is regained and they can continue their daily lives more comfortably.
The success of the treatment is ensured by the active participation of the patients in the treatment process and their regular visits to the dentist. It is important to take proper care and hygiene measures so that the implants fuse harmoniously with the jawbone. This increases the long-term success of the implants and allows patients to achieve a firm and aesthetic smile for many years to come. In conclusion, Zygomatic Implant Treatment offers an effective and reliable solution for patients with missing teeth. However, it is important to discuss treatment options and results in detail with a dentist. The most appropriate treatment plan should be determined for each patient and the treatment process should be carefully managed.

My journey started with a meeting with Oj and Can in Belfast. Everything was organized incredibly smoothly! ✨ Upon arriving in Turkey, driver Kadir greeted me with a big smile and great warmth. He drove me from the hotel to the clinic and back every time – always on time, smiling and friendly 😊 At the clinic, I received a warm welcome from Can and Oj. I also met Batu, who always welcomed me and saw me off – a very friendly guy! I got to know the entire team and I can honestly say that I was treated like a friend, or even like a family member ❤️ A huge thank you to my wonderful dentist Gamze and nurse Humeyra! 🙏 Gamze is an outstanding specialist in her field. She works until she achieves perfection – and that perfection is my new smile! 😁✨ Big respect to the clinic owner for putting together such an amazing and warm team. I highly recommend Amazing Smile Turkey to anyone who needs a new smile or even the smallest dental treatment! 💯
Amazing service from day 1. Very caring and great communication throughout. Onur is there 24/7 to help with any problems at all and always explains in good detail. Best service in Antalya and amazing results. Would highly recommend 5*+
Initially, My wife and I had a meeting in Leeds. We found Onur and the team very friendly and knowledgeable. She was advised that 'all on 6 was the best option for top and crowns to match for bottom. Everything was explained and the price was affordable(20k cheaper than uk) so we arranged our first visit. On arrival, we were picked up at airport and taken to our hotel. We were given pick up times and were always picked up on time. Treatment started the following day, impressions were taken and some teeth extracted. Bone grafting and sinus lift were necessary. This process was pain free thanks to injections, pain killers were prescribed for her comfort over the next few days. We returned for implants and crowns to be fixed. Time was taken to reassure her throughout the whole process and the whole team were very friendly and approachable the whole time. Onur was available and willing to talk and explain everything during the whole process. The price given at initial meeting in Leeds didn't change, which I know isn't the case at some of the other dentists in Turkey. She now does have an amazing, natural looking smile and is enjoying eating things she hasn't been able to for some time. We were left feeling like friends rather than clients. Would 100% recommend Amazing Smile Turkey.
From start to finish the service was second to none really professional company looked after us really well more than happy with my new teeth we had the pleasure of having Onur as our representative he treated us like family brought us every where we needed to go the doctors were top class service would highly recommend🦷🇹🇷

Zygomatic dental implants in Turkey — the solution for severe upper jaw bone loss
Zygomatic implants are longer dental implants anchored into the cheekbone (the zygoma) rather than the upper jaw. For UK and Irish patients who have been told they need bone grafting or a sinus lift before implants are possible, zygomatics offer an alternative route that often avoids graft surgery entirely, and delivers fixed teeth in a single surgical visit.
When zygomatic implants are the right answer
The upper jaw needs a certain amount of vertical bone for a standard implant to anchor into. After years of upper tooth loss, long-term dentures or significant bone resorption, that bone often disappears. Standard implants then become impossible without extensive grafting or sinus lifting. Zygomatic implants bypass the problem: the implant is longer and anchors directly into the dense cheekbone, which is not affected by tooth loss. A skilled specialist can place a full upper arch of fixed teeth on four zygomatic implants in a single surgery.
Who benefits most from zygomatic implants
UK and Irish patients who travel for zygomatic treatment typically fall into one of three groups: long-term denture wearers whose upper jaw has resorbed significantly, patients who have already been quoted multiple bone graft surgeries in the UK and want to avoid them, and patients where a previous upper implant case has failed due to insufficient bone. For these cases a zygomatic plan is often the fastest route to fixed teeth.
UK vs Turkey — zygomatic implant costs (2026)
| Plan | Typical UK private cost | Amazing Smile Turkey guide price |
|---|---|---|
| Full upper zygomatic arch (4 zygomatic implants) | £20,000–£35,000 | Typically 50–70% less |
| Hybrid plan (2 standard + 2 zygomatic) | £16,000–£25,000 | A fraction of the UK figure |
| Bone grafting avoided | Saves £3,000–£8,000 | Included in zygomatic plan |
How the procedure works
Zygomatic implant surgery is a specialist procedure, always carried out by a surgeon trained specifically in the zygomatic technique. After a detailed CBCT 3D scan, the implants are placed in one surgical session under local anaesthesia with sedation. Unlike standard implants, zygomatics can often be immediately loaded — meaning a fixed temporary bridge is fitted the same day or within 48 hours. You leave Antalya with fixed teeth, not dentures.
Treatment timeline and trip length
Most zygomatic cases follow a single-trip or abbreviated two-trip protocol. A single-trip plan is 7–10 days in Antalya: surgery, immediate temporary bridge, healing monitoring, final bridge fitting if clinically safe. A two-trip plan is 7 days for surgery and temporary, then 5–7 days 3–6 months later for the final permanent bridge. Your specific timeline is confirmed on your written plan before you travel.
Why zygomatic is done abroad more often than in the UK
Zygomatic implantology is a specialist sub-field with limited NHS provision and a smaller pool of trained private surgeons in the UK. Turkey, and specifically Antalya, has built up significant zygomatic experience because of the volume of international patients who need the technique. Amazing Smile Turkey’s zygomatic cases are always placed by a surgeon with dedicated training and a substantial case record in this specific technique.

Frequently asked questions
- Are zygomatic implants safe?
- When placed by a trained specialist, zygomatic implants have a high long-term success rate comparable to standard implants. Safety depends heavily on the surgeon’s experience, which is why the procedure is always performed by a dedicated specialist at Amazing Smile Turkey.
- Do I definitely need zygomatic implants?
- Only a CBCT 3D scan can tell for certain. Many patients who assume they need zygomatic treatment can actually be restored with All-on-4 and a small bone graft or sinus lift. Your specialist reviews the options honestly.
- How long does zygomatic surgery take?
- The surgery itself typically takes 2–3 hours. You are at the clinic for the better part of a day including preparation and recovery monitoring.
- Will I get fixed teeth the same day?
- Yes, in most cases. Zygomatic implants are designed for immediate loading — a fixed temporary bridge is placed on the implants the same day or within 48 hours.
- How much does zygomatic treatment cost in Turkey?
- A full upper zygomatic arch privately in the UK is typically £20,000–£35,000. At Amazing Smile Turkey the same treatment is usually 50–70% less, with your exact figure fixed in your written plan.
- Is zygomatic more painful than standard implants?
- The recovery is similar. Surgery is performed under local anaesthesia with sedation. Post-operative swelling is a little more pronounced than standard implants but subsides within a week.
- How long do zygomatic implants last?
- Published studies show high long-term survival rates, with many zygomatic implants in function 10–20 years after placement. Lifespan is broadly comparable to standard implants.
- Can zygomatic implants fail?
- Like any surgical treatment, failure is possible but uncommon in experienced hands. If failure occurs under the written guarantee, corrective treatment is provided in Antalya at our cost.
- Do I need a second trip?
- Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Single-trip zygomatic cases are possible when immediate loading is clinically safe; otherwise a second trip for the final bridge is booked 3–6 months later.
- Does Amazing Smile Turkey place zygomatic implants regularly?
- Yes. Zygomatic implants are a regular part of our full-arch caseload, always performed by a surgeon with specific zygomatic training and experience.
