Considering zygomatic and pterygoid implants? These specialised dental solutions offer hope for patients with significant bone loss in the upper jaw who might otherwise require extensive bone grafting. Zygomatic implants anchor into the cheekbone, while pterygoid implants utilise the dense pterygoid region at the back of the upper jaw. Both techniques require surgical expertise but can provide stable foundations for permanent teeth restoration. At London Dental Specialists, we understand you may have questions about suitability, procedure details, recovery time, and costs. Our experienced team is here to address your concerns about these advanced implant options, helping you make an informed decision about restoring your smile and confidence.
Zygomatic implants are specialised dental implants designed for patients with significant bone loss in the upper jaw. Unlike traditional implants, these longer implants are anchored into the zygomatic bone (cheekbone), providing a secure foundation for permanent upper bridges or dentures without requiring bone grafting procedures. At London Dental Specialists, our zygomatic implants offer a reliable solution for patients previously told they lack sufficient bone for conventional implants.
Pterygoid implants are specialised dental implants that anchor into the pterygoid process of the sphenoid bone at the back of the upper jaw. They provide an alternative solution for patients with bone loss in the posterior maxilla, eliminating the need for sinus lifts or bone grafting procedures. London Dental Specialists utilises pterygoid implants to support fixed bridges in the back of the mouth where traditional implants may not be viable due to insufficient bone volume.

The cost of zygomatic and pterygoid implants at London Dental Specialists varies based on individual patient needs, the number of implants required, and the complexity of the case.
