Overcome bone loss with zygomatic implants in Antalya, Turkey: immediate strength for challenging cases.
If you've been told implants aren't suitable, zygomatic implants in ViviMedi are a life-changing solution for severe bone loss.
For patients who have been told implants are "unsuitable," ViviMedi's expert implant team offers a groundbreaking solution: zygomatic implants.
These long, specialized implants are placed in the cheekbone (zygoma), one of the strongest bones in the body, and allow for full-arch fixed teeth without the need for bone grafts or sinus lifts, even in cases of extreme bone loss.
This is a life-changing treatment for patients who are denture-dependent or have been rejected by other clinics.
Benefits of zygomatic implants
- No need for bone grafts: Bypasses insufficient jawbone by utilising the zygoma, avoiding additional surgeries and shortening treatment time.
- Immediate functionality: Often allows same-day attachment of provisional teeth, restoring eating and speaking abilities quickly.
- High success rates: Achieves 96-98% survival over 5-10 years, comparable or superior to grafted traditional implants.
- Enhanced stability: Longer implants provide robust anchorage in denser bone, supporting full-arch prosthetics with minimal movement.
- Preserves facial structure: Prevents further bone loss and maintains cheek contours, countering the collapsed look from atrophy.
- Reduced treatment time: Completes in fewer visits than graft-dependent options, ideal for patients seeking faster results.
- Improved comfort and quality of life: Fixed restorations eliminate denture discomfort, allowing enjoyment of diverse foods.
- Versatile for severe cases: Effective even after failed prior implants or in irradiated patients, with tailored anaesthesia options.
Who is a good candidate for zygomatic implants?
Zygomatic implants are designed for patients with significant upper jaw bone loss due to long-term tooth absence, periodontal disease, or trauma, where standard implants aren't viable without grafts. Candidates must have healthy zygomatic bones and good overall health to tolerate surgery.
This zygomatic implant treatment is ideal for patients who:
- Have advanced upper-jawbone loss
- Cannot tolerate or do not want removable dentures
- Had failed implants or failed grafting in the past
- Want fixed, stable teeth again
- Want a predictable, long-term solution
Those with sinus issues or smoking habits may proceed but should manage risks—smoking can drop success by 10-15%. Diabetics with controlled levels show strong outcomes. A CT scan assessment is crucial; if the lower jaw needs addressing, combined approaches may apply. If you've been told you're not a candidate for traditional implants, zygomatic could offer a life-changing alternative.
Step-by-step treatment process for zygomatic implants
- Comprehensive consultation: Medical history is evaluated, and 3D imaging is performed to map the zygomatic bone and plan implant angles.
- Preoperative preparation: Infections or extractions are removed; sedation or general anesthesia is usually used for comfort.
- Implant surgery: In a 2-3 hour procedure, 2-4 long zygomatic implants (up to 5 cm) and additional chin implants are placed at a 45-degree angle in the cheekbone.
- Immediate loading: If stable, a temporary full-arch bridge is installed the same day for immediate function.
- Healing phase: Integration is monitored for 4-6 months, with adjustments made as needed.
- Permanent prosthesis: Temporary prostheses are replaced with custom zirconium or acrylic final prostheses for optimal aesthetics and occlusion.
- Ongoing maintenance: Provide maintenance instructions and schedule regular follow-ups to ensure longevity.
Results-focused explanation: Before and after zygomatic implants
Before zygomatic implants, severe bone loss often means unstable dentures, restricted diets, speech impediments, and facial collapse, severely impacting daily life. After, patients achieve a dramatic turnaround: a secure, full-arch smile restoring 85-95% of natural chewing power, enabling hearty meals without pain.
The anchored design provides unwavering stability, with visible improvements in cheek fullness and youthful contours. Success stories highlight renewed confidence, from smiling freely to professional interactions. Long-term results boast minimal complications, with implants enduring 10+ years, transforming "hopeless" cases into vibrant, functional smiles.
Summary of advantages vs traditional options
Zygomatic implants surpass traditional bone grafts or sinus lifts by eliminating the need for invasive preliminary surgeries, which can add 6-12 months and risks like graft failure (10-20% rejection).
Zygoma dental implants offer immediate loading versus waiting periods, with comparable success (96% vs 90-95% for grafted implants) and greater reliability in atrophied jaws. While costlier upfront, they reduce total procedures and complications, providing a streamlined path to restoration without the healing delays of traditional methods.
Zygomatic implants cost in Turkey
If you're considering zygomatic implants in Turkey, the first question on your mind is probably: "So, how much do they cost?" You're right... This treatment is different from standard implants and requires more advanced expertise.
First of all, let's be clear:
Prices can vary from person to person.
Why? Because everyone's bone structure, treatment plan, and the number of implants they need are different. While one person may need only two zygoma implants, another may require additional jaw implants and a prosthetic procedure.
Zygomatic implant prices in Turkey generally range from £2,500 to £5,000. This figure can vary depending on the surgeon's experience, the implant brand used, the clinic's location, and the complexity of the procedure.
If you ask about the price of the same treatment in the US or Europe... It wouldn't be surprising if it were £20,000 or more there. This is precisely why people choose Turkey:
Same quality, much more affordable.
