What Are Zygomatic Implants?

Zygomatic implants are longer dental implants anchored in the zygomatic bone, commonly known as the cheekbone. This bone is denser and more stable than the upper jawbone in cases of severe bone resorption.

Instead of placing implants into insufficient maxillary bone, zygomatic implants utilize the cheekbone as a strong anchoring point. This allows full arch restoration even when traditional implants are not feasible.

Zygomatic implants are typically recommended for:

• Patients with advanced upper jaw bone loss
• Individuals who have failed previous implant treatments
• Patients who want to avoid extensive bone grafting procedures
• Complex full mouth rehabilitation cases

What Are Pterygoid Implants?

Pterygoid implants are placed in the posterior upper jaw, anchoring into the pterygoid plate of the sphenoid bone. This area provides strong bone support and allows posterior stabilization without the need for sinus lift surgery.

Pterygoid implants are often used in combination with traditional or zygomatic implants to provide additional stability for full arch restorations.

Together, zygomatic and pterygoid implants create a comprehensive solution for patients with severe bone deficiency.

Who Is a Candidate for Zygomatic or Pterygoid Implants?

These advanced implant solutions are typically recommended for patients who:

• Have severe upper jaw bone resorption
• Have been told they are not candidates for traditional implants
• Wish to avoid multiple bone graft surgeries
• Require full arch fixed restoration
• Have experienced previous implant failure

At Sota Dental, candidacy is determined through detailed clinical evaluation and 3D CBCT imaging. Precise planning is essential for safety and long term success.

Treatment Process at Sota Dental

Comprehensive Evaluation

We begin with detailed diagnostics including digital radiographs and 3D CBCT imaging to assess anatomical structures and plan precise implant positioning.

Digital Surgical Planning

Advanced planning software is used to determine optimal angulation and depth for implant placement while avoiding critical anatomical structures.

Implant Placement

The procedure is performed by experienced implant surgeons under local anesthesia. Surgical precision is critical in these complex cases.

Immediate or Delayed Prosthesis

Depending on stability, a temporary fixed prosthesis may be placed shortly after surgery.

Final Restoration

After healing and integration, the final custom designed prosthesis is securely attached.
