Told you don't have enough bone for dental implants? That may not be the end of the conversation. 🦷
When the upper jaw has experienced significant bone loss, standard implants may not have enough support to anchor into. That's where zygomatic and pterygoid implants come in. These longer implants bypass the thinned areas of the upper jaw and anchor into denser bone in the cheekbone or the back of the upper jaw instead. It's a detailed surgical approach that calls for modern imaging, careful planning, and specialized training, which is why it sits outside the scope of general dentistry.
Our team in Mississauga works with these complex cases regularly, and we're happy to walk you through what's possible for your situation.
