You can choose to have exquisite teeth in a full mouth implant - even when other's have said there is not enough bone.

Many patients worry they may not have enough bone to support them when considering dental implants. But at Dr. Lampee’s clinic, we offer advanced implant solutions specifically designed for those with bone loss. Even if you’ve been told you’re not a candidate for traditional implants, our cutting-edge techniques can still provide you with a secure, long-lasting smile.

The Dr. Lampee Difference

If you’ve been turned down elsewhere, Dr. Lampee’s advanced techniques and cutting-edge lab can provide solutions that other dentists can’t. 

A patient who had missing teeth for 30 years and was unable to wear dentures came to us wondering if he had enough bone for implants. Despite severe bone loss, we placed four lower implants and permanent teeth in just one day. For the upper jaw, we used advanced techniques, including angled and pterygoid implants, to bypass sinuses and secure implants in strong bone, giving him a permanent smile in a single day.

Bone density is crucial for successful implants, but with Dr. Lampee’s innovative techniques, even patients with significant bone loss can find a solution. We explore every possible avenue to ensure you can achieve the smile you deserve, no matter your situation.

Overcoming Bone Loss

At Dr. Lampee’s clinic, we use dental implant techniques that allow patients with significant bone loss to receive implants without requiring invasive bone grafting. These solutions include:
  • Zygomatic Implants,
  • Pterygoid Implants,
  • Nasal Floor Implants, and
  • Angled Implants

—each designed to maximize the available bone and provide strong, stable support for dental prosthetics.

Zygomatic Implants: A Game-Changer for Severe Bone Loss

Unlike traditional implants that rely on jawbone support, zygomatic implants anchor directly into the zygomatic (cheek) bone. This bone remains strong even when the upper jaw experiences severe bone loss, providing a stable foundation for your new teeth. Zygomatic implants are ideal for patients who have worn dentures for many years or have experienced trauma or infections that resulted in bone loss.

Pterygoid Implants: Reaching Stability in the Upper Jaw

Pterygoid implants offer a secure alternative for patients with upper jawbone loss, particularly in the back of the mouth. These implants are placed in the dense bone near the pterygoid plate behind the upper wisdom teeth. By tapping into this naturally strong bone, we can bypass the need for grafting while providing exceptional support for your implants.

Nasal Floor Implants: Utilizing Available Bone

Nasal floor implants are another innovative solution for patients with insufficient upper jawbone. These implants engage the bone at the base of the nasal cavity, allowing us to anchor the implant securely. This technique is particularly beneficial for patients who need additional support in the upper jaw but want to avoid more invasive procedures like sinus lifts.

Angled Implants: Maximizing Bone Support

Sometimes, the best solution for bone loss is simply adjusting the angle of the implant. Angled implants are placed at a strategic angle to optimize the existing bone structure, providing robust support for dental prosthetics. This technique can be used with zygomatic or pterygoid implants to create a stable solution.

Dr. Lampee and his staff were amazing! I suffer from a high level of dental anxiety and needed some dental work done badly. Dr. Lampee and his staff put me at ease immediately and never made me feel silly or like I was overreacting. I used oral sedation for a root canal, crown and fillings. Dr. Lampee completed all the work in one appointment and it was the best dentist experience of my life. 100% recommend!
