Zygomatic & Pterygoid Implants in Vancouver BC

Has a previous dentist told you that jawbone deterioration prevents you from getting dental implants? If so, you might be experiencing several consequences due to this condition. These challenges can include a lack of support for your remaining teeth and potential changes in your facial structure.

Pterygoid and Zygomatic dental implants can be considered for patients with significant bone loss in the upper jawbone. Dr. Noroozi, our highly trained implant specialist at IMPrESS Perio Implant Center perform these procedures with expert skill levels and advanced techniques and technologies to create precise, predictable surgeries.

Pterygoid dental implants are anchored at a 45-degree angle into the pterygoid bone in the back of the upper jawbone. This type of implant is typically used when there is insufficient bone volume in the upper jawbone to support traditional dental implants.

Since the pterygoid bone is a strong and dense bone that provides excellent support for dental implants, doctors at Advanced Dental Implant Center can offer Pterygoid dental implants as a long-term solution to missing or damaged teeth.

WHAT ARE ZYGOMATIC IMPLANTS?

Zygomatic dental implants are anchored into the zygomatic bone in the cheekbone area. This type of implant is also used in cases where there is not enough bone volume in the upper jawbone to support traditional implants. The zygomatic bone is longer and stronger than the jawbone and provides an excellent alternative to traditional implants in these cases.

A SOLUTION FOR SEVER BONE LOSS PATIENTS

Patients who suffer from severe bone loss are typically told they do not have enough bone for traditional dental implant surgery. With Pterygoid and Zygomatic implants, the impossible is now possible, and patients can benefit from enjoying their life with permanent teeth secured by implants.
