Zygomatic and Pterygoid Implants

At Dazzle Dental Clinic, we offer zygomatic and pterygoid implants for patients with significant bone loss in the upper jaw. This guide explains both treatments so you can make an informed decision about your dental care.

What Are Zygomatic and Pterygoid Implants?

Zygomatic Implants: Zygomatic implants are a solution designed for patients who lack sufficient bone density in the upper jaw for traditional implants. Instead of anchoring in the jawbone, these implants are anchored into the zygomatic bone (cheekbone), providing a stable foundation for prosthetic teeth. This method bypasses the need for bone grafting, making it an ideal choice for those with severe bone loss.

Pterygoid Implants: Pterygoid implants are placed at the junction of the maxillary bone (upper jaw) and the pterygoid process of the sphenoid bone. This advanced technique provides an alternative for patients who cannot receive traditional implants due to upper jawbone deficiencies. Like zygomatic implants, pterygoid implants offer a secure anchor for prosthetic teeth without the need for bone grafting.

Why Choose Zygomatic and Pterygoid Implants?

Immediate Results: Zygomatic and pterygoid implants allow for immediate loading, meaning patients can receive a fixed set of teeth soon after the procedure. This rapid transformation restores both function and aesthetics in a short time.

No Bone Grafting Required: These procedures eliminate the need for bone grafting, reducing treatment time and patient discomfort. Patients with severe bone loss can achieve stable, long-lasting results without the additional surgery associated with grafting.

High Success Rate: Both zygomatic and pterygoid implants have high success rates, offering durable and reliable solutions for upper jaw restoration. Patients can enjoy the benefits of improved oral function and a renewed smile with long-term stability.

Zygomatic Implants: Frequently Asked Questions

Who needs zygomatic implants?
People with severe bone loss in the upper back jaw who have been told they need major bone grafting, or that they cannot have conventional implants. A CBCT scan shows whether zygomatic implants are suitable for you.

Do I need a bone graft?
Usually not. Zygomatic implants anchor in the cheekbone, so they avoid the sinus lift or block graft that conventional implants would need in a thin upper jaw.

Will I get fixed teeth quickly?
For qualified cases, fixed permanent teeth can be fitted within 72 hours of surgery. Your dentist confirms at the planning stage whether your case qualifies.

Is sedation available?
Yes. The surgery is done under local anaesthetic, with the option of IV sedation. Implants are placed with ClaroNav Navident real-time navigation for guided implant surgery.

Can international patients have zygomatic implants at Dazzle?
Yes. For international patients, our team reviews your dental records, including CBCT scans, and proposes a treatment plan before you travel. You take home written records of your treatment and implants. See our international patients page for travel and planning.
