Pterygoid implants are specialized implants placed into the dense pterygoid bone at the back of the upper jaw, offering patients with severe bone loss a same-day tooth replacement solution that avoids the need for bone grafting procedures. They are sometimes along with zygomatic implants, which is another solution for patients with insufficient bone in the upper jaw.
Pterygoid implants offer an advanced solution for patients with severe upper jaw bone loss, significantly improving success rates when combined with All-on-4 or All-on-X treatments. These specialized implants anchor into the dense pterygoid bone at the back of the upper jaw, rather than the weaker maxillary bone used in traditional implants.
The strong foundation provided by the pterygoid bone allows patients to receive their new teeth immediately after surgery, eliminating the need for lengthy and invasive bone grafting procedures. This highly specialized technique requires exceptional surgical expertise, and Smart Arches is among the few practices nationwide with the advanced training to perform it.

When patients are told by other centers that they do not have enough bone for dental implants, our expert surgeons are able to achieve success for them because they are experienced in the most complex cases where pterygoid implants are required. Our dental surgeons specialize in these complex implant procedures and can typically send a patient home with a new set of teeth the very next day.
Both zygomatic and pterygoid implants offer advanced solutions for patients with severe upper jaw bone loss who can’t receive traditional implants, but they anchor in different locations and serve distinct purposes.
Both techniques allow same-day tooth placement, help avoid lengthy bone grafting and sinus augmentation procedures, and require highly specialized surgical expertise that only select doctors nationwide can perform. Smart Arches offers both advanced options, giving patients access to the most appropriate solution for their specific bone loss situation.
