What Are Zygomatic Implants and Who Needs Them?

What Are Zygomatic Implants and Who Needs Them?

13 March Fri, 2026


Zygomatic implants are an advanced solution for patients with severe upper jaw bone loss who cannot easily receive conventional dental implants. Unlike standard implants placed in the maxillary bone, zygomatic implants are anchored in the zygoma (cheekbone), which usually offers stronger support when the upper jaw has resorbed significantly. This makes them an important treatment option for patients who have been told they have “not enough bone” for regular implants.

At MilimInternational, zygomatic implant cases are approached with detailed surgical planning and prosthetic vision. Dr. Ali Direnç Ulaşan, as an oral surgeon, evaluates bone anatomy, sinus structures, bite forces, and final prosthetic needs before deciding whether zygomatic implants are the safest and most predictable option. This is essential because these cases are not routine implant cases—they require a specialist-level understanding of facial anatomy and long-term rehabilitation.

Patients who may need zygomatic implants often include those with advanced bone loss in the upper jaw, failed previous implant or grafting treatments, or severe maxillary resorption after years of missing teeth. In these situations, traditional bone grafting may not always be the most efficient or predictable path. Zygomatic implants can allow fixed teeth without depending entirely on extensive grafting procedures.

At MilimInternational, the goal is not only to place implants, but to create a stable, functional, and maintainable result. With proper case selection and a specialist-led treatment plan by Dr. Ali Direnç Ulaşan, zygomatic implants can offer life-changing rehabilitation for patients who thought they had no fixed-teeth options left.

How Zygomatic Implants Differ from Traditional Implants

Dental implants have revolutionized the field of restorative dentistry by providing patients with a long-lasting and natural-looking solution to missing teeth. However, for patients with significant bone loss in the upper jaw, traditional implants may not be an option without undergoing bone grafting procedures.
