If a Dentist has told you that you don’t have enough bone for dental implants, they may not have expertise in the specialty of Zygomatic or Pterygoid implants. These special types of dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for fixed upper teeth for patients who don’t have enough upper bone.
Zygomatic implants are longer and thicker than traditional implants. Our team uses these options where a patient has severe bone loss, often caused by long-term denture use or advanced periodontal disease. By using zygomatic implants,
it’s possible to avoid the need for bone grafting procedures, which can be invasive, costly, and require a longer healing time.
Bone loss from long-term denture wear can make you age prematurely,
losing the structure of your face.
Bone loss can be prevented by giving the jawbone a replacement tooth with a root that can exert the same or similar pressure as natural teeth. The GPS dental implant bridge provides a chewing power of 99% of natural biting force and helps to prevent bone loss.
We are here to help however you want to communicate.
