Zygomatic implant in Vitaluxe Istanbul
About the clinic
Zygomatic implants at Vitaluxe Istanbul in Turkey provide a fixed solution for patients with severe upper jaw bone loss. This procedure uses the cheekbone for anchorage, which removes the need for bone grafts or sinus lifts. The treatment is performed by experienced oral surgeons in a JCI-accredited facility to meet international safety standards.
Advanced Solution for Bone Loss
Zygomatic implants are specialized titanium rods ranging from 30 to 55 mm in length. Unlike standard implants, these anchor directly into the zygomatic bone, also known as the cheekbone. This bone is dense and stable, providing an ideal foundation for a full-arch restoration. This method is specifically for patients who have been told they have insufficient bone for traditional implants.
Immediate Function and Recovery
One of the primary advantages of this treatment is the speed of results. The clinic follows a protocol that allows for a same-day provisional full-arch bridge. Patients leave the surgery with fixed teeth, removing the need for uncomfortable removable dentures during the healing phase. The procedure steps include:
- CT mapping using CBCT technology to analyze the zygomatic bone structure.
- Surgical placement of 2 to 4 zygomatic implants under sedation.
- Immediate loading of a provisional bridge for function and aesthetics.
- Final restoration with a permanent fixed bridge after 4 to 6 months.
Expert Surgical Team
The surgery is performed by highly trained specialists at Vitaluxe Istanbul. Dr. Arda Yılmaz Özder is an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon who graduated from Gazi University with a focus on complex implant placements. Dr. Erdoğan Aydın is an Implantologist and Periodontologist who earned his PhD at the Albert-Ludwigs University of Freiburg in Germany. Dr. Aydın holds over 20 international certifications in advanced implantology and full-arch rehabilitation.
Clinic Standards and Safety
Vitaluxe Istanbul holds multiple quality certifications, including ISO 9001:2015 and an International Health Tourism Authorization from the Turkish Ministry of Health. These credentials confirm that the clinic maintains strict protocols for patient care and hygiene. By using sedation during the procedure, the team makes sure the patient remains comfortable throughout the surgery.

Cosmetic Dentistry and Prosthetics
Prosthodontists Dr. Gökhan Yildiz and Uzm. Dt. Naim Ünsal specialize in full-mouth rehabilitation and aesthetic smile design. The clinic uses Ivoclar Prime zirconia for high-strength crowns and bridges. For veneers, the team chooses Ivoclar IPS e.max Press to achieve natural translucency and lasting results.
Aesthetic procedures are planned using Digital Smile Design (DSD) to preview outcomes. Restoration options include:
- Hollywood Smile transformations
- Zirconia crowns and bridges
- Laminated e.max veneers
- LED-activated professional whitening
Uzm. Dt. Naim Ünsal takes a whole-mouth approach to prosthetics by analyzing jaw mechanics and occlusion. This ensures new dental surfaces match the patient's natural bite.
