Pterygoid implants

Pterygoid implants

We are proud to offer pterygoid implants as an innovative solution for patients with significant posterior maxillary atrophy, where traditional implants may not be feasible. We use pterygoid implants to provide stable and durable dental restoration without the need for complex bone grafting procedures.

What are Pterygoid Implants?

Pterygoid implants are specialized dental implants that anchor into the pterygoid bone at the back of the jaw, bypassing the maxillary sinus and other areas with insufficient bone. This technique is particularly beneficial for patients who have experienced significant bone loss in the upper jaw and are seeking a fixed and immediate solution.

Benefits of Pterygoid Implants:

  • Avoids Bone Grafting: Eliminates the need for sinus lift and bone grafts, reducing overall treatment time and complexity.
  • Immediate Function: Allows for immediate loading of the prosthesis, providing patients with functional teeth shortly after the implant placement.
  • Long-Term Stability: Offers a reliable and long-lasting solution for upper jaw restoration.
  • Enhanced Comfort and Aesthetics: Improves oral function and facial aesthetics, restoring confidence in your smile.

  1. Detailed Assessment: Comprehensive examination using advanced imaging to determine the viability of pterygoid implants for your specific condition.
  2. Surgical Placement: Precision-guided surgery to place the implant directly into the pterygoid bone.
  3. Immediate Loading: Attachment of a provisional crown or bridge soon after implant placement, ensuring minimal disruption to your daily life.
  4. Follow-Up Care: Regular check-ups to monitor the implant and finalize the permanent prosthetic solution.
