Has a previous dentist told you that jawbone deterioration makes you ineligible for dental implants? If so, you might face challenges like diminished support for your remaining teeth and noticeable changes in your facial structure.
At Eggleston Dental Care in Turlock, CA, we offer advanced solutions for patients with significant bone loss in the upper jaw. Pterygoid and Zygomatic dental implants are innovative options designed to overcome severe bone loss. Our skilled implant specialist, Dr. Jim Eggleston, uses cutting-edge techniques and state-of-the-art technology to ensure precise, predictable results, helping you regain function and confidence in your smile!
Pterygoid dental implants are a specialized implant used to restore missing teeth in patients with significant bone loss in the upper jaw. Unlike traditional implants, which require sufficient bone density in the jaw, pterygoid implants are anchored into the pterygoid plates near the back of the upper jaw, where the bone is typically more stable and dense.
This innovative approach eliminates the need for bone grafting, making it an excellent option for patients who might otherwise be ineligible for dental implants. Pterygoid implants provide a strong, stable foundation for dental restorations, enabling patients to regain full oral function and a natural-looking smile.
Zygomatic implants are designed for patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw, particularly those who are not candidates for traditional implants. Instead of anchoring in the jawbone, zygomatic implants are placed in the zygomatic bone (cheekbone), which provides a dense and stable foundation for dental restorations.
This approach eliminates the need for bone grafting or sinus lifts, significantly reducing treatment time and enabling even patients with advanced bone loss to achieve a fixed, functional, and aesthetic smile. Zygomatic implants are often used with traditional implants to restore an entire arch of teeth, offering a reliable and life-changing solution for individuals facing complex dental challenges.
Pterygoid and zygomatic dental implants offer a durable, long-term solution for replacing missing or damaged teeth. They provide a strong, stable foundation like natural teeth, allowing you to eat your favorite foods, speak clearly, and confidently smile.
For patients with severe bone loss who are told they lack sufficient bone for traditional dental implants, Pterygoid and Zygomatic implants offer a solution once thought impossible. These advanced implants allow patients to enjoy permanent, stable teeth secured by implants, restoring both function and confidence.
Zygomatic and Pterygoid implants have shown high success rates due to their ability to anchor into dense, stable areas of the bone, providing exceptional support for dental restorations. These implants bypass the need for bone grafting by utilizing the cheekbone and pterygoid region, making them ideal for patients with severe bone loss. With advanced techniques and proper planning, these implants offer long-term stability and an excellent track record of success in restoring smiles.
Pterygoid and zygomatic implants offer a solution for patients with severe jawbone loss without the need for sinus augmentation or bone grafting. Traditional implants often require these procedures to rebuild bone volume before implantation. However, pterygoid and zygomatic implants are designed to anchor directly into the available bone structures, bypassing the need for additional bone reconstruction. This makes the implant process quicker, more efficient, and less invasive for patients with advanced bone loss.
