Pterygoid Implants – Advanced Solutions for Upper Jaw Restoration in Jacksonville, FL

For patients with severe upper jaw bone loss, pterygoid implants offer a unique and stable solution. At Natural Teeth Implant Center, we specialize in advanced implant techniques, including pterygoid implants, to help patients achieve a functional, beautiful smile even when traditional implants may not be an option.

What Are Pterygoid Implants?

Pterygoid implants are a type of dental implant anchored in the pterygoid bone, located at the back of the upper jaw. This approach bypasses areas of bone loss in the upper jaw, allowing us to place stable implants without extensive bone grafting. Pterygoid implants are ideal for patients who need full-arch restorations in the upper jaw but lack sufficient bone in the traditional implant areas.
