Zygomatic Implants Cost in Turkey

Zygomatic implants are a highly complex procedure requiring a specialist surgeon, which makes them more costly than standard implants. However, the zygomatic implants cost in Turkey is dramatically lower than in the UK or USA, often by 50-70%.

This procedure is typically used for a full-arch restoration (like an All-on-4) where two of the implants are zygomatic. The price comparison below reflects an All-on-4 setup using two zygomatic implants and two standard implants.

Cost Comparison: Zygomatic Implants

Procedure Type Dentalays / Turkey (Estimate) UK / Europe / USA (Estimate)
Zygomatic Implant €4,000 - €9,000+ €15,000 - €35,000+

Please note: These are estimated starting prices. The final cost is determined by the complexity of the case and the number of zygomatic implants required (sometimes four are needed). For a precise, all-inclusive quote, we invite you to get a free, specialized consultation with our surgical team.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My initial dental plan needed adjustment when my gums proved too weak to proceed as planned. Zigoma implants became necessary. (This was quite uncomfortable) yet the clinic handled it all professionally and straightforwardly, laying out my options clearly and prioritizing my wellbeing. Throughout the journey, I received outstanding support and reassurance at every turn. The team was helpful, understanding, and genuinely caring the whole time. Even with the treatment change, I got 5-star service throughout and felt genuinely supported. Absolutely worth recommending. I'm planning to return in 6 months for the final smile. I will add to my review once the 6 month healing is complete

    I had a wonderful experience with Dentalays. The staff proved to be exceptionally professional and compassionate during my dental work and implant therapy. A special shout-out to Dr. Tansu, who was remarkably attentive and compassionate. The end results exceeded what I had anticipated. Highly recommended!

    Don’t hesitate to use this practice

    I traveled from the UK for placing an upper dental implant and was wonderfully attended to right from the airport through lodging to the practice. The accommodation was fantastic, and the dental clinic appeared immaculate, the personnel exceedingly helpful and friendly. The dental professionals were outstanding and everything went perfectly without complications. There's a practitioner who positions the initial implants and a fantastic woman who handles the adjustments and placement so expertly. And the pricing! Far more economical than the UK so I have complete confidence in recommending this clinic. Thanks

    Amazing dentist

    I must strongly endorse this practice. I came here for 8 tooth replacements and 20 dental caps, and from my initial check-up all the way through the concluding phases, the complete journey has been exceptional. The expertise, compassion, and meticulous focus displayed by all team participants have been remarkable. They invested time in walking through all aspects, answered every concern, and created me feel at peace and self-assured through my care. The establishment is contemporary, spotless, and furnished with cutting-edge systems. The physicians and helpers authentically appreciate their clients and exceed ordinary care to confirm all work reaches the most excellent criterion. Undergoing this magnitude of oral procedures can feel intimidating, but the group rendered the complete process as effortless and anxiety-free as achievable. The standard of results is incredible, and I'm wholly satisfied with what I got. Acknowledgment to all at the facility for restoring my grin and self-belief. If you are considering replacements, caps, or any other dental teeth procedures, I'm able to wholeheartedly advise this establishment without question.

    5 stars. I got my implants placed at Dentalays in July of the prior year, and I'm pleased to report that they recovered beautifully and all has gone really well since. The dental work they prepared for me is robust, wonderfully crafted, and resembles genuine teeth. The practice takes a highly individualized stance with all clients. All work happened promptly, skillfully, and to a superb level. During the full experience, I sensed I was in capable hands. I'd like to recognize the complete staff for their competence and compassion. Particular recognition to Guzel for her support and generosity, and to Maya of the coordination staff for the remarkable planning and interactions. The dentists, support staff, and direction all operate with authentic expertise. I'd recommend Dentalays with certainty to those seeking top-notch dental procedures in Turkey.

    Initially, I only wanted an implant placed, but I found the UK pricing bewildering—it's extraordinary that a minor surgical procedure could rival the cost of a used automobile. I resolved to try treatment in another nation. What impressed me most was the meticulous coordination. Everything was streamlined and efficient. Each specialist handled their domain—one assessed overall mouth health, another performed scaling, another examined tooth sensitivity, and another positioned the implant. In my perspective, this approach excels. I trust a doctor who performs five or six implants regularly much more than someone who does it quarterly. The implant placement took merely seven minutes—from applying numbing agent to securing sutures. I genuinely couldn't believe it. There was zero discomfort. The following morning, I didn't require pain relief. Currently, I'm unaware of it—no soreness, no complications. I'm very content with the result. I'm aware many in the UK are hesitant about traveling abroad for dental solutions. I was too. However, now preparing for the bridge placement, I'm not concerned about issues. The practitioners are extremely competent, and customer support is first-rate. I had assistance throughout—the group managed all logistics, furnished interpretation, and responded to every concern by speaking with the practitioners. Special recognition to Guzel and Maya for their support and wonderful presence.

What Are Zygomatic Dental Implants?

Zygomatic dental implants are a revolutionary solution for patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw. Standard implants are placed in the jawbone (maxilla), but when this bone has shrunk or resorbed, there is nothing to hold an implant.

Instead of rebuilding the jawbone with complex bone grafts, zygomatic implants bypass the problem. They are much longer than standard implants and are anchored into the dense, solid bone of the cheekbone (the zygoma). This provides an incredibly strong and stable foundation for securing a full bridge of teeth, often on the same day as the surgery.

The Zygomatic Implant Procedure in Turkey: Step-by-Step

The zygomatic implant procedure is a sophisticated treatment performed by a specialist oral and maxillofacial surgeon.

Specialist Consultation & 3D CT Scan

This is the most critical step. A high-definition 3D CT scan is taken to create a precise map of your facial anatomy, including your sinuses and the exact density of your zygomatic bone.

Surgical Planning

Using advanced software, the surgeon digitally plans the exact angle and position of each implant, ensuring they anchor perfectly into the strongest part of the cheekbone while avoiding all vital structures.

The Surgical Procedure

This procedure is performed under general anesthesia or deep sedation for your complete comfort. The surgeon makes an incision to access the upper jaw and cheekbone, then meticulously places the long zygomatic implants according to the digital plan. Any remaining failing teeth are also removed at this time.

Immediate Fixed Bridge

In most cases, a pre-fabricated, high-quality temporary bridge is attached to the implants on the very same day. This means you arrive with failing teeth (or no teeth) and leave with a complete, fixed set of new teeth.

Final Restoration

After a healing period of 4-6 months, you will return for your second visit to receive your final, permanent bridge, which is custom-milled from materials like Zirconia for maximum durability and aesthetics.

Benefits of Zygomatic Implants (The "Graft-Free" Solution)

The primary advantage of zygomatic implants is that they eliminate the need for bone grafting.

  • No Bone Grafting or Sinus Lifts: This avoids the 6-9 month healing time, additional surgery, and potential complications associated with grafting procedures.
  • Immediate Teeth (Same-Day Smile): Because the implants are anchored in highly stable bone, they can almost always be "immediately loaded" with a fixed bridge.
  • One-Stage Procedure: The entire surgical phase is completed in a single appointment, not multiple surgeries spread out over a year.
  • Solution for "Impossible" Cases: They provide a proven, reliable option for patients who have been repeatedly told they are not candidates for implants.

Who is an Ideal Candidate for Zygomatic Implants?

You are an ideal candidate for zygomatic implants if you:

  • Have severe bone loss in the upper jaw.
  • Have been told you need extensive bone grafting or sinus lifts but want to avoid them.
  • Have had previous dental implants fail due to bone loss.
  • Are wearing an upper denture and are seeking a fixed, permanent solution.
  • Want a new, fixed smile in a single day (immediate loading).

Zygomatic Implants Success Rate & Safety

When performed by a trained and experienced oral and maxillofacial surgeon, the zygomatic implants success rate is extremely high, averaging over 97% long-term.

This is a safe and predictable procedure in the hands of a specialist. The primary zygomatic implants side effects are similar to any major oral surgery: swelling, bruising, and sinus congestion, which are temporary and resolve within a couple of weeks. Our team provides comprehensive post-operative care and medication to ensure your recovery is smooth and comfortable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What are zygomatic implants made of?

Zygomatic implants are made from the same medical-grade titanium as standard implants. They have been used and studied for over 20 years with excellent, proven results.

2. Is the zygomatic implant surgery painful?

No. The procedure is performed while you are comfortably asleep under general anesthesia or deep IV sedation. Post-operative discomfort is well-managed with prescribed pain relief and antibiotics.

3. What are the potential zygomatic implants side effects?

The most common side effects are temporary swelling of the face, bruising (which can extend to the eyes), and sinus congestion or a stuffy nose. These typically peak at 2-3 days and resolve over 1-2 weeks.

4. How long is the recovery from zygomatic implants?

You should plan for 7-10 days of social downtime to allow the main swelling and bruising to subside. You will be on a soft-food diet for a period to protect the healing implants.

5. How are zygomatic implants different from All-on-4?

All-on-4 is a concept for a full bridge on four implants. Zygomatic implants are a type of implant used to make that concept possible when there is no bone. A "Zygomatic All-on-4" simply means that two or all four of the implants used are zygomatic.
