Some patients have significant bone loss in their jaw. If this is your situation, you may have been told that you are not a candidate for dental implants. But with new technology called zygomatic and pterygoid implants, almost all patients are now candidates for dental implants.
Zygomatic implants were developed to make dental implants accessible to patients with excessive bone loss, allowing them to fuse to bone with a 98% success rate.
As with any medical procedure, we are sure you have many questions. If you have any questions or concerns do not hesitate to contact us!
Zygomatic and pterygoid implants are secured to the cheekbones (zygoma) instead of the jawbone. They are placed through an incision within the mouth. They can often be used to immediately hold a complete, modified denture. This allows for immediate chewing of a soft diet.
The success of zygomatic implants to fuse to bone is approximately 98%.
We are pleased to provide this advanced technique. We like it because it makes dental implant placement accessible to patients with excessive bone loss. It eliminates the need for extensive bone grafting.
This is an outpatient surgery performed in the operating room under general anesthetic. The recovery time is usually three to five days.
It takes about three months for the bone to fully fuse to the implants. Once that occurs, your dentist can make a final set of screw-retained teeth. Then you can resume a full and normal diet.
At Argyle & Associates Barrhaven you will be provided with industry-leading service by Ottawa’s top-rated surgeons on RateMDs.

I have nothing but RAVE reviews for Dr. Andrew Lee and his two nurses Jessica and Jenny. They were so professional and made me feel so relaxed and comfortable. Such great personalities and senses of humour, which is important before getting
This was my first experience with any form of dental surgery and I wasn’t looking forward to it. I had two molars removed, one of which was a wisdom tooth, and an implant inserted for a new molar that is yet to come. Dr. Moghadam performed
Dr Butterfield is simply amazing!! He removed all 4 of my wisdom teeth with minimal pain and swelling, despite being a complicated case. Best part of the surgery: not remembering a second of it!
I had a wisdom tooth out. The consultantion before the operation answered all my questions. The operation went smoothly without any problems. All the staff and the dentist were excellent. I have had three wisdom teeth out over the years, all
