An anchoring arrangement is provided for anchoring a dental prosthesis to a patient. The arrangement can comprise an implant, a sleeve, and a fastening screw. The implant can comprise a coronal portion and an apical portion. The apical portion can be configured to extend from within a jaw bone and into a zygoma. The coronal portion can include a substantially planar surface extending transversely relative to a longitudinal axis of the apical portion and a threaded aperture. The threaded aperture can extend from the substantially planar surface into the implant transversely relative to the longitudinal axis of the apical end of the implant. The sleeve can comprise an end portion configured to mate with the substantially planar surface of the implant. The fastening screw can be disposed through the sleeve and fastened to the threaded aperture.
