Pterygoid dental implants are a specialized type of dental implant strategically placed in the pterygoid bone, a dense area at the back of the upper jaw. This unique placement allows for strong anchorage and support, making pterygoid implants an excellent same-day solution for patients with insufficient bone in the upper jaw, where traditional implants may not be feasible.
At SameDay Dental Clinic, we may recommend pterygoid implants for individuals with severe maxillary bone loss, those who have undergone previous maxillofacial surgery that compromised their bone structure, or for patients who prefer to avoid extensive bone grafting procedures often required for traditional implants.
