Has a previous dentist told you that jawbone deterioration prevents you from getting dental implants? If so, you might be experiencing several consequences due to this condition. These challenges can include a lack of support for your remaining teeth and potential changes in your facial structure.
Pterygoid and Zygomatic dental implants can be considered for patients with significant bone loss in the upper jawbone. Our highly trained implant specialists at Advanced Dental Implant Center perform these procedures with expert skill levels and advanced techniques and technologies to create precise, predictable surgeries.
Pterygoid dental implants are anchored at a 45-degree angle into the pterygoid bone in the back of the upper jawbone. This type of implant is typically used when there is insufficient bone volume in the upper jawbone to support traditional dental implants.
Since the pterygoid bone is a strong and dense bone that provides excellent support for dental implants, doctors at Advanced Dental Implant Center can offer Pterygoid dental implants as a long-term solution to missing or damaged teeth.
Zygomatic dental implants are anchored into the zygomatic bone in the cheekbone area. This type of implant is also used in cases where there is not enough bone volume in the upper jawbone to support traditional implants.
The zygomatic bone is longer and stronger than the jawbone and provides an excellent alternative to traditional implants in these cases.
Pterygoid and Zygomatic dental implant solutions are advanced procedures typically recommended for patients who have experienced significant bone loss in the upper jawbone, often due to prolonged tooth loss or gum disease. They may also be recommended for patients who have been told they are not a candidate for traditional dental implant surgery.
Pterygoid and Zygomatic dental implants can be a permanent, long-term solution to missing or damaged teeth. They provide you with a strong and stable smile (like your natural teeth) and the functionality to enjoy the foods you love while speaking and smiling confidently.
Patients who suffer from severe bone loss are typically told they do not have enough bone for traditional dental implant surgery. With Pterygoid and Zygomatic implants, the impossible is now possible, and patients can benefit from enjoying their life with permanent teeth secured by implants.
Both Pterygoid and Zygomatic dental implants have a 99% success rate in helping patients with severe bone loss.
Both sinus augmentation and bone grafting procedures are typically needed to treat patients with severe jawbone loss before attempting to place traditional implants. However, these procedures are not required with pterygoid and Zygomatic dental implants.
As one of the most preeminent fixed arch dental implant doctors in the world, Advanced Dental Implant Center’s Chief Clinical Officer, Dr. Dan Holtzclaw, literally wrote the book Pterygoid Implants: The Art and Science on Full Arch Immediate Load Patient Cases using Pterygoid dental implants. He recently published a 500-page textbook, Remote Anchorage Solutions For Severe Maxillary Atrophy, on remote anchoring implants – the dental industry’s newest and most up-to-date textbook on highly advanced dental implant procedures, including Zygomatic dental implants, Quad-Zygo, Transnasal, Pterygoid dental implants, Piriform and Nasopalatine Fixtures.
Our Advanced Dental Implant Center doctors benefit from training with Dr. Holtzclaw and, combined, have the experience to help restore your hope, confidence and smile – through Pterygoid and Zygomatic dental implants. At the Advanced Dental Implant Center, patients receive a comprehensive evaluation to determine the best course of treatment. Our doctors work closely with each patient to develop a customized treatment plan that meets their unique needs and goals. We also use the latest technology and equipment to ensure you receive the best possible care. In addition to Pterygoid and Zygomatic dental implants, we offer a range of other dental implant procedures, including traditional implants.

Advanced Dental Implant Center are part of a professional affiliation of dental implant practices operated by oral surgeons, periodontists, prosthodontists, and restorative dentists. With the specialized techniques used by Advanced Dental Implant Center, such as zygomatic and pterygoid implants, nearly all patients qualify for same day dental implants from a dental perspective. Prospective patients require an initial workup that includes an oral examination, 3D radiographic evaluation, and medical history consultation. Some patients with certain medical histories may not qualify for surgical treatment. “Teeth-in-a-day”, “one day implant teeth”, “same day implant teeth”, etc. refers to the fact that on the day of surgery, patients will have teeth removed (unless all teeth are already missing, dental implants placed, and a screw retained prosthesis secured to these implants on the same day as the surgery. While this first set of teeth are permanent in the fact that they are secured to the dental implants by screws, these teeth are typically not the final set of teeth as the patient will be allowed to heal prior to the delivery of the final set of teeth. Furthermore, the patient will be allowed to suggest desired changes to the initial set of teeth prior to the fabrication of the final set of teeth. The initial set of screw retained implant teeth are permanent in the fact that they are not removable by the patient and can only be removed by personnel in a dental office. With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime depending on the age of the patient when the implants were originally placed. Studies show that dental implants can last over 25 years with proper home care and regular professional maintenance.
