Zygomatic implants are longer dental implants that are anchored in the cheekbone (zygomatic bone) to provide support for dental restorations in patients with significant upper jaw bone loss. They are a reliable solution for individuals who may not be candidates for traditional implants due to insufficient bone.
Pterygoid implants are utilized in cases where there is inadequate bone density in the posterior upper jaw. These implants are anchored into the pterygoid bone, offering a strong foundation for dental restorations without the need for extensive bone grafting.
Nasal implants are dental implants placed in the bones of the nasal floor. They are necessary when the upper jaw lacks sufficient bone structure for conventional implants, providing an alternative option for securing restorations in patients with upper jaw deficiencies.
No, the placement of zygomatic, pterygoid, and nasal implants is performed under local or general anesthesia, ensuring a comfortable experience. Most patients find that post-operative discomfort is manageable with prescribed pain medications.
The ability to support fixed prostheses without requiring bone grafting, which can significantly shorten treatment time.
Improved aesthetic and functional outcomes, restoring both the appearance and function of the teeth.
Mitigation of the adverse effects of bone loss associated with prolonged tooth loss (edentulism), enhancing overall oral health and stability.
