Istanbul, Turkey — Upper Jaw Only, No Grafting First
When the Upper Jaw Has Nothing Left, the Cheekbone Does.
If you have been told there is not enough bone for implants, this is usually the procedure nobody mentioned. Long implants anchored in the cheekbone carry a fixed upper arch — often with teeth the same day, without the year of staged grafting that would otherwise come first. A last resort, not an upgrade.
Short video testimonials recorded with patient consent. Every one of them started exactly where you are now — with a free assessment and a few photos.
Natural Clinic brings several specialist fields together under one roof: hair transplantation, dentistry, facial, body and breast aesthetics, bariatric surgery and reconstructive treatments. Cross-disciplinary medical teams, multilingual coordination and internationally recognised safety standards carry each patient from consultation and treatment planning through to recovery and aftercare.

Large-scale medical infrastructure in Istanbul
A conventional implant is 8 to 15 mm long and sits in the jaw. A zygomatic implant is 30 to 55 mm and passes through or beside the sinus to anchor in the cheekbone — bone that does not resorb when teeth are lost. That is the whole idea: stop looking for anchorage where there is none, and go to where there still is.
Upper jaw · usually same-day teeth
Placed under general anaesthetic, the implants pass from the upper jaw through or alongside the maxillary sinus and engage the zygoma — the cheekbone. Two are commonly paired with two conventional implants at the front where a little bone survives; where none does, four zygomatic implants carry the arch alone. Because the cheekbone is dense, they are stable enough at placement for a fixed provisional arch the same day.
The upper jaw has resorbed past what conventional or tilted implants can hold, a previous graft has failed, or implants have been lost and the bone with them.
Quoted per case, after the scan. Our figure includes the anaesthetic, hospitalisation, the provisional arch and a year of follow-up.
Implant Dentistry
Born in Bandırma in 1995, Dr Ömer Reşat Gültek studied at İnegöl Mediha Hayri Çelik Science High School before turning to dentistry — and he still thinks like a materials scientist. Which ceramic, which technique, which protocol for this particular tooth: those are the questions he takes seriously, and they are why his root canal treatments hold. What patients mention, though, is the manner. He explains as he works, he does not rush, and a single filling gets the same attention as a full arch.
Certificates
Here the deciding factor is not price, it is how often the surgeon does this . Zygomatic placement is a specialist procedure with a real learning curve, and volume is the honest argument for treatment in Istanbul. Ask how many are performed a year — here, and anywhere else you are considering.
This is a procedure where experience shows. Ask for the annual number, not a brochure line.
Sinus anatomy, orbital floor and residual bone mapped in three dimensions before a plan exists.
General anaesthesia and overnight observation in the same building, not subcontracted.
A staged graft route would mean a year or more before implants could even be placed.
Risks, alternatives and aftercare explained properly in your own language before consent.
If conventional implants would still hold, that is what we recommend. Zygomatic is a last resort by design.
At €2,250 per implant, zygomatic implants use the cheekbone when the upper jaw can't hold conventional posts.
Previous scans or letters showing severe upper-jaw loss are reviewed first; zygomatic implants are a last resort, not a default.
A CBCT scan traces the long path each implant will take so it stays clear of the sinus and eye socket.
Because this is a longer operation, the type of anaesthesia is settled in advance rather than on the day.
Once stable, a temporary bridge is screwed onto the zygomatic and any front implants.
After healing, a new impression is taken and the final full-arch bridge is fitted on a second trip.
Zygomatic implants anchor in the cheekbone. These answers explain who needs them and what treatment involves.
Zygomatic implants are long dental implants anchored in the cheekbone (zygoma) rather than in the upper jawbone. They are used to support fixed upper teeth when the upper jaw has lost too much bone for conventional implants, and they are often combined with standard implants at the front of the mouth.
Zygomatic implants are considered for patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw who have been told that standard or tilted implants are not possible. They are a specialised option rather than a default, so previous scans and dental records are reviewed first to confirm they are genuinely needed.
Regular implants are placed in the jawbone and are relatively short. Zygomatic implants are much longer and travel through the upper jaw into the dense bone of the cheek, which provides stable anchorage even when the upper jaw itself is too thin to hold a standard implant.
Most people sent here by a search do not turn out to need this procedure. If your scan shows bone that conventional implants can still hold, these are the pages that apply.
Personalised Care, Just for You
Send the CBCT scan you already have. One of our surgeons replies with a straight assessment — whether conventional implants would still hold, whether a graft is predictable in your case, whether this is genuinely a zygomatic situation, and what each route would cost and take. Being told you do not need this is a good outcome, and it costs nothing to find out.
