🦷 Zygomatic & Pterygoid Implants: Advanced Dental Implant Options for Severe Bone Loss Expert Solutions at Orion Orthodontic and Dental Care Centre If you’ve been told you’re not a candidate for dental implants due to severe bone loss in the upper jaw, you may feel discouraged. But don’t lose hope. At Orion Orthodontic and Dental Care Centre, we offer advanced implant solutions designed specifically for patients with limited bone—zygomatic and pterygoid implants. These innovative procedures eliminate the need for complex bone grafts or sinus lifts and can restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. ________________________________________ 💡 What Are Zygomatic and Pterygoid Implants? 🦷 Zygomatic Implants Zygomatic implants are extra-long dental implants that anchor into the zygomatic bone, commonly known as the cheekbone. This bone is dense and stable, making it ideal for implant support in patients with little or no bone in the upper jaw (maxilla). These implants bypass the sinus cavity and are angled to maximize bone contact—making them an excellent option when traditional implants aren’t feasible. 🦷 Pterygoid Implants Pterygoid implants are also longer and placed at an angle, but they anchor into the pterygoid region of the sphenoid bone—located at the back of the upper jaw, near the soft palate. These implants: • Provide posterior support in full-arch restorations • Avoid the need for sinus lifts or bone grafts • Offer excellent stability even in severely resorbed jaws ________________________________________ 🧠 Why Might You Need These Implants? You may benefit from zygomatic or pterygoid implants if: • You've lost multiple or all upper teeth • You’ve experienced bone shrinkage after years of missing teeth or wearing dentures • You’ve been told you need a sinus lift or major bone grafting • You want a fixed, permanent alternative to removable dentures • You suffer from conditions like atrophic maxilla (severe upper jaw bone loss) • You're looking for a faster, more predictable solution for implant treatment These implants are often used in All-on-4 or full-mouth rehabilitation cases, where immediate function (teeth in a day) is a goal. ________________________________________ 🛠 How the Procedure Works at Orion At Orion Orthodontic and Dental Care Centre, your treatment is guided by precision technology and clinical excellence. Step 1: Consultation & Digital Assessment We begin with a comprehensive exam and 3D CBCT scan to evaluate your jaw structure, sinus position, and bone density. Step 2: Customized Treatment Planning Our team uses digital planning software to map out the exact angles and lengths of your implants. Every case is unique. Step 3: Implant Placement Surgery Under local anesthesia or sedation, we carefully place the zygomatic and/or pterygoid implants. The procedure is minimally invasive and often does not require bone grafting. Step 4: Temporary Teeth (Optional Same-Day Restoration) In many cases, a temporary fixed bridge can be placed the same day, so you never go without teeth. Step 5: Healing & Final Restoration Once the implants are fully integrated with the bone (usually in 4–6 months), your permanent teeth are placed. ________________________________________ ✅ Benefits of Zygomatic & Pterygoid Implants • ✔️ No bone grafts or sinus lifts required • ✔️ Immediate loading possible in many cases (same-day teeth) • ✔️ Excellent stability in areas with bone loss • ✔️ Ideal for full upper arch restorations • ✔️ Reduced treatment time • ✔️ Long-lasting and highly successful (with over 95% success rates in experienced hands) • ✔️ Improved quality of life, appearance, and oral function ________________________________________ 🧑‍⚕️ Why Choose Orion Orthodontic and Dental Care Centre?

When performed by experienced surgeons, zygomatic and pterygoid implants are safe, reliable, and have excellent long-term success. Is the procedure painful? Most patients report only mild discomfort after surgery. Local anesthesia or IV sedation is used during the procedure to ensure you're completely comfortable. Can I get teeth the same day? In many cases, yes. We often place a temporary fixed bridge on the same day as the implant surgery, especially in full-arch cases. How long does it take to heal? Healing time is usually 4 to 6 months. After that, your permanent bridge or crowns are attached. ________________________________________ 📞 Take the First Step Toward a Complete Smile If you’ve been told you don’t have enough bone for dental implants, don’t give up.
