Severe bone loss in your upper jaw does not mean you cannot get dental implants. Traditional treatments often require extensive bone grafting or sinus lifts, which can take up to 12 months to heal.

At Brentford Dental, we offer pterygoid dental implants—a faster, highly reliable alternative that allows us to bypass compromised areas completely and restore your smile securely.

What Are Pterygoid Implants?

Pterygoid implants are specialised, longer dental implants designed specifically for the upper jaw. Instead of relying on standard jawbone that may have shrunk over time, they anchor into the dense cortical bone at the very back of the mouth (the pterygoid plates of the sphenoid bone). Because this bone structure does not recede, it provides an exceptionally strong and permanent foundation for your new teeth.

Key Benefits for Our Patients

• No Bone Grafting Needed: We utilise your existing bone anatomy, completely avoiding complex sinus lifts or painful bone grafts.
• Faster Treatment Timeline: While bone grafting can delay your final smile by up to a year, pterygoid implants can often be fully restored within just 3 to 4 months.
• Immediate Stability: The high density of the pterygoid bone provides instant stability, frequently allowing for “immediate loading” protocols where temporary functional teeth can be attached right away.
• Reduced Discomfort: Eliminating secondary graft-harvesting procedures significantly reduces swelling, healing times, and surgical risks.
• Highly Predictable Outcomes: Clinical studies show success rates exceeding 95% over five years, making it an incredibly dependable long-term solution.

When Do We Recommend This Procedure?

We generally consider pterygoid implants if you present with:

1. Severe Posterior Bone Loss: Minimal bone remaining in the back of your upper jaw.
2. Enlarged Sinus Cavities: Your maxillary sinuses have expanded downward, leaving insufficient conventional bone space.
3. Previous Graft Failures: You have undergone sinus or bone augmentations in the past that were unsuccessful.
4. Full-Arch Smile Reconstructions: You are seeking a comprehensive dental rehabilitation procedure, such as a full-arch structural configuration.

Advanced 3D Planning at Brentford Dental

Your safety and treatment predictability are our primary concerns. We utilise state-of-the-art diagnostic protocols:

• 3D CBCT Scanning: We utilise advanced Cone Beam Computed Tomography to view your unique anatomy in precise 3D detail.
• Virtual Surgical Planning: Before your physical procedure begins, we digitally map the exact angle, length, and placement coordinates of your implants using virtual surgical software.
• Tailored Prosthetic Design: Because pterygoid implants sit at an angle, your replacement teeth are custom-engineered to handle chewing forces perfectly, ensuring natural aesthetics and optimal function.
