Severe bone loss in the jaw is one of the biggest challenges in modern dentistry. When patients lose significant bone in the upper jaw — due to long-term tooth loss, gum disease, or age — traditional implants simply cannot be placed. But thanks to two remarkable techniques, Pterygoid implants and Zygomatic implants, this is no longer an obstacle. Simpladent India is at the forefront of both delivering these advanced treatments to patients and providing specialised dental implant training in India to equip dentists with these life-changing skills.

What Are Pterygoid Implants?

Pterygoid implants are long titanium implants — typically 15 to 20 mm — that are anchored into the pterygoid and palatine bones at the back of the upper jaw. These bones remain dense and strong even when the rest of the upper jaw has experienced significant bone loss. Because they bypass the affected areas entirely, Pterygoid implants eliminate the need for sinus lifts or bone grafting procedures, delivering immediate, stable support for fixed prosthetic teeth.

They are particularly effective for replacing missing upper back teeth in patients who have been told conventional implants are not possible for them. The anchorage is firm, the recovery is faster, and the results are outstanding.

What Are Zygomatic Implants?

Zygomatic implants take a different approach — anchoring into the zygomatic bone (cheekbone), which lies above the upper jaw and retains excellent density regardless of jawbone deterioration. These implants are longer than standard ones and are specifically designed for patients with severely atrophic upper jaws where even Pterygoid implants alone may not provide full support.

Used together, Zygomatic implants and Pterygoid implants form a powerful combination that makes complete upper jaw restoration possible for even the most complex bone-loss cases — without any bone grafting and with fixed teeth delivered in as little as 72 hours.
