When James, a 64-year-old from the UK, contacted us, his message was brief but powerful:
"I’ve been told I can’t get implants anymore. Is there really nothing left to do?"
For patients like James, the journey to a new smile is often filled with disappointment. Years of wearing dentures, bone loss from long-term extractions, or failed past procedures leave many told they’re not candidates for implants—unless they undergo complex and invasive bone grafting. But at Milim Dental, we’ve been rewriting that narrative.
Because when everything says it’s impossible, Zygomatic Implants say otherwise.
Severe bone loss in the upper jaw is common in long-term denture wearers or patients with untreated gum disease. Normally, implant-supported teeth need solid bone to anchor into—something missing in many of these patients.
Enter zygomatic implants: longer, specially angled implants that secure into the cheekbone (zygoma), a dense and stable structure unaffected by jaw bone loss. It sounds complex, but in expert hands, it’s not only safe—it’s transformational.
Unlike standard implants:
At Milim Dental, we plan these surgeries with 3D scans, digital simulations, and surgical guides—bringing both safety and precision together under one roof.
James arrived in Bursa two months after that first message. His upper jaw had almost no bone. His removable denture had given him nothing but frustration. He couldn’t eat, and he’d long stopped smiling.
After a full evaluation, we placed two zygomatic and two pterygoid implants—no grafting, no delay. The next day, he left the clinic with fixed temporary teeth and a different look in his eyes: confidence.
“I thought I’d never chew steak again. Last night I did—with my own teeth.”
We only accept a limited number of international patients each month. This allows our team to focus deeply on each case, especially complex treatments like zygomatic implants.
Our difference:
If you’ve been told “you don’t have enough bone,” you might be exactly the kind of patient zygomatic implants were designed for. Many of our patients come after being turned away elsewhere.
Before you accept dentures as your only option, let us review your scans and provide a second opinion.
We’re not just offering a dental solution—we’re offering back the ability to laugh without hiding, to eat without fear, and to smile in photos again.
