Zygomatic implants in Fethiye

Zygomatic implants are an advanced surgical technique developed for patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw, where conventional implants cannot be placed. While standard implants are anchored in the jawbone, zygomatic implants are anchored in the stronger, more voluminous cheekbone (os zygomaticum).

This makes it possible — in suitable cases — for patients to receive fixed teeth without extensive bone-grafting procedures. At Europe Smile Center, zygomatic implant treatment is performed by oral & maxillofacial surgery specialist Dr. Dt. Ozan Akıncı with detailed 3D planning.

Who are zygomatic implants for?

• Patients with advanced bone resorption in the upper jaw
• Patients previously told they could not have implants because of insufficient bone
• Long-term fully edentulous patients (denture wearers)
• Suitable cases who prefer to avoid bone grafting and long waiting periods

Suitability is confirmed after an examination and a CBCT scan.

Advantages

• Fixed teeth even where bone loss is advanced
• In most cases, no extensive bone graft required
• A shorter overall treatment time in suitable cases
• Can be planned together with full-arch solutions such as All-on-4 / All-on-6

Is the procedure painful?

The procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia, or general anaesthesia in suitable cases — you will not feel pain. Patient comfort is a priority at the clinic and every step is managed carefully.
