Highly regarded for their reliability and immediate results, zygomatic implants dramatically improve the quality of life for those unsuitable for conventional dental implants. At Smile Center Turkey, our expert dental team carefully designs your implants to restore full function, enhance facial structure, and revitalise your confidence—giving you a strong, healthy, and natural-looking smile again.
What is Zygomatic Dental Implants
Zygomatic dental implants are advanced dental solutions specifically designed for patients experiencing significant bone loss in the upper jaw, making conventional implants unsuitable. Unlike standard implants, zygomatic implants anchor securely into the cheekbone (zygoma), bypassing the need for extensive bone grafting.
In a typical zygomatic implant procedure, our experienced surgeons strategically position long titanium implants directly into the zygomatic bone, providing immediate stability and support. This technique allows patients who have previously been told they’re not suitable for implants to regain full dental function and a natural-looking smile.
Zygomatic implants require fewer visits and significantly reduce treatment time compared to traditional bone grafting methods, making them an ideal choice for patients seeking effective, immediate, and lasting results.

Zygomatic Dental Implants Turkey Overview
Treatment Objective
Zygomatic implants provide a durable solution for patients with severe upper jaw bone loss. By anchoring implants directly into the cheekbones, this procedure restores full dental function and facial aesthetics without the need for bone grafting.
Procedure Duration
The procedure is typically completed in a single surgical session lasting approximately 2–4 hours, including implant placement and immediate fitting of provisional teeth.
Hospital Stay
Usually no hospitalisation is required; however, a short rest period is recommended after the procedure.
Recommended Stay Duration
We recommend staying in Antalya for around 7–10 days to allow for initial consultation, surgical treatment, recovery, and essential follow-up appointments.
Post-Treatment Potential Symptoms
Temporary swelling, mild bruising, or discomfort around the surgical area may occur for several days post-procedure. These symptoms are easily managed with medication and rest.
Estimated Recovery Period
Most patients experience significant improvement within the first week, with full recovery typically within 4–6 weeks. Normal eating and speaking functions gradually resume as healing progresses.
Zygomatic Dental Implants Procedure
The zygomatic implant procedure is an advanced surgical treatment typically completed in a single appointment lasting about 2–4 hours. It starts with a thorough consultation and detailed imaging (such as CT scans) to precisely plan implant placement.
During the procedure, implants are strategically anchored directly into the cheekbones (zygoma), providing immediate stability without the need for bone grafting. After placing the implants securely, temporary teeth are immediately attached, restoring function and aesthetics right away.
Following initial healing, permanent restorations are custom-crafted to precisely fit your bite and smile aesthetics. The result is a durable, stable, and aesthetically pleasing smile—without lengthy treatment periods or additional grafting surgeries.

Healing Process
After receiving zygomatic dental implants, most patients experience initial improvement within a few days and can typically resume normal daily activities shortly after the procedure. Because the treatment involves minor surgery, some rest and recovery time is beneficial.
It’s normal to experience mild swelling, bruising, or slight discomfort around the cheek and gums for approximately 7–14 days. These symptoms gradually subside as the healing progresses.
You’ll notice immediate improvements in your smile and facial structure right after the procedure. There’s minimal downtime, and the implants provide excellent stability from day one.
Follow the aftercare instructions provided by your dentist carefully, including maintaining gentle oral hygiene and dietary recommendations to ensure optimal healing and the best long-term results.
Common Post-procedure Reactions – Zygomatic Dental Implants
Zygomatic dental implant surgery is a well-established procedure, and most patients experience mild to moderate temporary side effects afterwards. It’s normal to have mild swelling, bruising, or discomfort around the cheeks and surgical area for the first few days, typically resolving within 7–14 days.
While noticeable swelling or minor bruising may occur, these are easily manageable with prescribed medication and rest. Serious discomfort or prolonged symptoms are very rare, and any temporary discomfort subsides significantly within the first week.
Patients are advised to:
Rest and limit strenuous activities during the first week
Maintain gentle oral hygiene to prevent irritation
Follow a soft-food diet for the initial recovery period
Attending all scheduled follow-up appointments and adhering to your dentist’s post-operative instructions will support quick and effective healing, ensuring your implants settle securely for long-term success.
