Zygomatic Dental Implants in Turkey for Severe Bone Loss | Dr. Tarkan

Zygomatic dental implants in Turkey bypass the jawbone entirely, anchoring directly into the zygoma (cheekbone),providing a fixed, permanent smile to patients who were previously told their only option was a loose denture. At One Life, we offer a cost advantage of up to 80% compared to UK specialist rates and the surgical expertise of Dr. Tarkan.

The Anatomy of the Cheekbone: The Ultimate Anchor

Zygomatic implants differ fundamentally from conventional screws in both length and location. While a standard implant is roughly 10–15mm long, a Zygomatic implant can reach up to 55mm.

• The Zygomatic Bone (Os Zygomaticum): Unlike the jawbone (maxilla), the cheekbone is cortical bone—dense, highly mineralized, and practically immune to resorption. It provides immediate primary stability, which is the prerequisite for “Same Day Teeth.”
• The Stability Vector: Because the implants are anchored at an angle into the malar (cheek) bone, they create a wide “tripod” effect. This provides a structural foundation that can support a full-arch bridge even in the total absence of upper jawbone.

ComfyDent Lab Artistry: Engineering the Zygomatic Bridge

A Zygomatic bridge is a specialized piece of engineering. Because the implants enter the mouth at a different angle than traditional ones, the bridge must be custom-designed to ensure both comfort and hygiene.

• Angulation Correction: The ComfyDent Laboratory utilizes specialized multi-unit abutments to correct the steep angle of the Zygomatic implants, ensuring the final teeth sit perfectly straight.
• The “Emergence Profile”: We design the bridge with a “cleansable” underside. This prevents food entrapment and ensures long-term gum health, which is vital for preventing infections around these deep-seated implants.
• Hybrid Zirconia Solutions: For Zygomatic cases, we often recommend high-impact Monolithic Zirconia. It provides the structural rigidity needed to span the distances between Zygomatic anchors without the risk of flexing or chipping.

The REF Code Protocol: Verified Nobel Biocare® Zygoma

Because Zygomatic implants are subject to massive mechanical leverage, the quality of the titanium and the surface treatment is non-negotiable. At ONE LIFE, we use the NobelZygoma™ system.

• Proven Longevity: Nobel Biocare invented the zygomatic protocol. Their hardware has over 25 years of clinical data.
• Verified Authenticity: You will receive the REF and LOT stickers for these specialized, high-cost implants. In the world of Zygomatics, “generic” or “copycat” brands are an unacceptable risk to your safety.

Zygomatic Implants Cost in Turkey: 2026 Pricing

Zygomatic implants are the most expensive units in dental technology due to their length, specialized surface treatment, and the extreme surgical skill required. However, when compared to the combined cost of multiple bone grafts, sinus lifts, and years of consultations in the UK, the Turkey “Smart Investment” remains clear.

Zygomatic Package Tiers:

• Hybrid Zygoma: (2 Zygomatic Implants + 2 or 4 standard implants). Recommended for moderate bone loss.  £6,500 – £8,500.
• Quad Zygoma: (4 Zygomatic Implants). The ultimate solution for total bone loss.  £9,000 – £12,000.

All-Inclusive Benefits:

• General Anesthesia/Sedation: Performed in a fully equipped surgical suite.
• Specialized Hardware: Verified NobelZygoma™ implants with REF codes.
• Extended Recovery Support: 24/7 monitoring during your 5-day stay.
• Luxury Logistics: VIP transfers and 5-star accommodation.

Surgical Mastery: Why Dr. Tarkan?

Zygomatic surgery is a blind-site procedure. The surgeon must have an intuitive and highly trained sense of craniofacial anatomy. It is not a procedure for a general dentist.

• 3D CBCT Mapping: We don’t guess. Tarkan utilizes ultra-high-resolution 3D imaging to map the exact trajectory of the implant through the sinus and into the zygomatic arch.
• Sinus Health Preservation: We use the Extra-Maxillary approach where possible. By keeping the implant body mostly outside the sinus cavity, we drastically reduce the risk of long-term sinusitis, a common complication in poorly executed zygomatic cases.

Zygomatic Implants vs. Extensive Bone Grafting: What is Best?

For decades, the only solution for severe bone loss was the Sinus Lift and Block Bone Grafting. For many patients, this meant a “dental marathon.”

The Quad Zygoma Protocol (for Extreme Atrophy Cases)

In cases where the anterior (front) bone is also non-existent, we utilize the Quad Zygoma technique. This involves placing four zygomatic implants (two on each side).

• This is the “final frontier” of dental restoration.
• It requires an elite level of maxillo-facial understanding to navigate the sinus cavities and protect the infraorbital nerves.
