REPLACING MISSING TEETH
Tubero Pterygoid Dental Implants
Tubero pterygoid dental implants are specifically for patients who do not have sufficient bone mass in their upper jaw for ordinary dental implants.
To overcome this problem, these single piece implants are expertly placed around your upper second molar region area, and at an angle, to make use of the robust and dense pterygoid bone above your jaw.

What is a Tubero Pterygoid Dental Implant?
Tubero Pterygoid Dental Implants are ideal for patients who lack bone mass in their jaw. For these types of implants, the dense cortical bone of the pyramidal process and the pterygoid plate are used to securely anchor the implant unit to the jawbone. Just like zygomatic implants, they are used in cases where the patient has undergone substantial bone loss.
Further supplementary procedures, usually used to add bone to existing oral structures, such as sinus lifts or bone grafting, will no longer be required. This shortens total treatment time up to a year. Hence, a full denture wearer can have a complete set of functional fixed teeth on the same day with pterygoid implants.
Benefits of Tubero Pterygoid Dental Implants
Convenient & Comfortable
Fixed in your full mouth 24/7, providing good stability with no screw loosening, and no need for routine removal (unlike with a denture).
Natural Feel
Simulate your own natural 14 teeth with near-perfect standards in terms of feel, function (e.g. chewing food, speech), aesthetics, psychology, and maintenance.
Single Procedure
Supplementary procedures such as sinus lifts or bone grafts are not required, and so you can receive your tubero pterygoid dental implants in a single session.
This reduces treatment time, complications and cost.
