Zygomatic and Pterygoid Implants are advanced dental implant solutions designed for patients with severe upper jaw bone loss who are not suitable candidates for conventional dental implants. At NFSC – Dr. Nikhil Face Surgical & Aesthetic Centre, Kandivali West, Dr. Nikhil Angre, MDS, Maxillofacial Surgeon and Fellow in Facial Plastic Surgery, provides advanced implant rehabilitation using zygomatic and pterygoid implants, helping patients regain a stable, functional, and natural-looking smile without the need for extensive bone grafting in many cases. These specialized implants offer a predictable and long-lasting solution for patients suffering from severe bone resorption, failed implants, or complete tooth loss in the upper jaw.
What are Zygomatic & Pterygoid Implants?
Unlike conventional dental implants that are anchored in the upper jawbone, Zygomatic Implants are longer implants that are securely anchored into the zygoma (cheekbone), while Pterygoid Implants are placed into the dense pterygoid bone located at the back of the upper jaw. These implants provide excellent stability for patients with inadequate jawbone volume, often eliminating the need for complex sinus lift procedures or bone grafting.

Local Anesthesia or General Anesthesia?
The choice of anesthesia depends on the complexity of the surgery. Dr. Nikhil Angre will recommend the safest and most appropriate anesthesia based on your treatment plan:
- Local Anesthesia - Selected implant procedures can be comfortably performed under local anesthesia with or without conscious sedation.
- General Anesthesia - Complex full-mouth rehabilitation, multiple zygomatic implants, extensive reconstructive cases, or medically indicated procedures may be performed under general anesthesia in a hospital setting.
Recovery After Surgery
Most patients experience mild swelling, temporary facial discomfort, minor bruising, and a soft diet for a few days before a gradual return to normal activities. Depending on the treatment plan, temporary or immediate fixed teeth may be provided during healing.
Complete healing and implant integration generally occur over 3–6 months, after which the final prosthesis is placed if not immediately loaded.
