Pterygoid and nasal implants are advanced implant techniques used for patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw.
- Pterygoid implants are placed into the pterygoid bone, located at the back of the upper jaw.
- Nasal implants are anchored into the floor of the nasal cavity, providing stability when the maxilla lacks sufficient bone.
These solutions are especially effective for patients who have been told they cannot receive conventional implants due to bone resorption. For international patients, they eliminate the need for bone grafts or sinus lifts and provide immediate function with fixed teeth.
The Treatment Process
-
Consultation & 3D Imaging
- CBCT 3D scan and digital planning
- Evaluation of bone density in the pterygoid and nasal regions
-
Surgical Placement
- Implants placed under local anesthesia or sedation
- Pterygoid implants inserted at the back of the maxilla
- Nasal implants anchored into the nasal bone region
-
Temporary Teeth
- In many cases, temporary fixed prosthesis can be delivered within 48–72 hours
- Patients leave with teeth instead of remaining toothless during healing
-
Final Prosthesis
- After 3–4 months of healing, permanent zirconia or porcelain prosthesis is placed
- Final restorations are durable, aesthetic, and highly functional
