Zygoma implants are a treatment for patients with upper jaw tooth loss or decay accompanied by bone resorption. In this procedure, dentists replace the affected area with a permanent implant that supports a prosthetic structure resembling an entire row of upper teeth, which looks like natural teeth and provides the function of healthy, natural teeth.
In comparison to single dental implants, zygomatic implants usually don’t require preliminary procedures such as sinus lifting, which aims to increase the density of the upper jaw bone. The prosthetic row of teeth is placed on the zygomatic implant the same day or a day after the operation. This approach significantly shortens the treatment period between the initial consultation with the dentist and the moment when patients can enjoy their new, beautiful smile and the adequate chewing function of their new teeth.
Further on, we will provide you with a detailed guide on zygomatic implants, including indications and contraindications, as well as information on where you can receive this treatment from experienced professionals in the field at affordable prices.

What are zygoma implants?
Zygoma implants are implants made of titanium. Their safety and compatibility with human tissues have been proven by decades of use in medical practice. Dentists anchor them in the cheekbones, achieving deep and secure fixation even in situations where the maxilla (upper jaw) bone has resorption and is not sufficient for traditional dental implants.
Who needs zygoma implants?
Patients with total upper jaw tooth loss or with a few teeth showing signs of decay, especially if they suffer from low maxilla bone density and a low position of the sinuses, which do not allow for a sinus lifting operation to prepare for traditional dental implants. Loss of teeth and maxilla bone tissue can be a consequence of high sugar consumption, poor hygiene, constant postponement of dental visits, trauma, or surgical removal of a tumor.
For patients without maxilla bone resorption, zygoma implants can be a better choice if they want to achieve immediate results and are unwilling to wait for months for maxilla healing after a sinus lift before traditional implants are inserted.
Additionally, as a serious medical procedure, zygoma implant placement has its contraindications. A dentist’s attention to the patient’s overall health condition plays a significant role in the success of the entire treatment. Patients with osteoporosis, diabetes, high blood pressure, and other health conditions that may affect healing after the operation should receive proper treatment from their doctor in advance.
Zygoma Implant Cost
Zygoma implants are an innovative, groundbreaking solution with several patents that address the serious problem of tooth loss. The treatment requires meticulous preparation before the operation, significant experience from the dentist performing the zygoma implant placement, and post-operative care and tooth prosthetics to provide patients with a natural, aesthetic, and functional result. This treatment cannot be a low-cost solution.
Here are some examples of zygomatic implant costs in different countries: the zygoma implant cost in the UK starts from £32,000, while in the USA, it is around $42,000. However, due to the short duration of treatment (approximately just one week), patients can choose countries where they can receive this sophisticated treatment at more affordable prices. For example, in search of the best price-quality ratio, patients often opt to receive this treatment in Turkey, where prices range from £10,000 to £15,000.
