From No Bone to New Smile: How Zygomatic Implants Restore Hope

From No Bone to New Smile: How Zygomatic Implants Restore Hope

1 July Tue, 2025

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.


When Traditional Implants Are No Longer an Option

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.


What Makes This Treatment Different?

Unlike standard implants:

  • No bone grafting required

  • No sinus lift surgeries

  • Immediate loading often possible (same-day smile)

  • High success rates even in “hopeless” cases

At Milim Dental, we plan these surgeries with 3D scans, digital simulations, and surgical guides—bringing both safety and precision together under one roof.


A Story We See Often—And Love to Change

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.”


Why Milim Dental? Because We Don’t Just Fix Teeth—We Restore Possibility

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:

  • 🦷 Complex cases are our strength

  • 📈 Predictable outcomes through digital planning

  • 🌿 Recovery in a peaceful city like Bursa, not a chaotic tourist hub

  • 🏨 Full-service coordination: transfers, hotel, personal coordinator


Who Is a Candidate? Maybe You Are.

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.


Conclusion: The Smile You Thought You Lost Forever? It's Still Possible.

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.

Let Milim Dental show you what’s still possible.

For patients suffering from severe upper jaw bone loss, traditional implants are often not an option — at least, that’s what they’re told. But what if there was a solution that doesn’t require extensive bone grafting or sinus lifts? At Milim Dental in Bursa, Turkey, we provide exactly that through Zygomatic Implants, the gold standard for complex full mouth rehabilitations.

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.
