At 24th Street Dental in Phoenix, AZ, we understand how difficult it can be to live with missing teeth or uncomfortable dentures. Tooth loss affects your appearance, confidence, and ability to enjoy the foods you love. If you have been told that you do not have enough bone for traditional implants, there is still hope.
Dr. Chris Barrett, our highly skilled implantologist, provides advanced procedures, including Zygomatic and Pterygoid Implants and Full-Arch All-on-4 restorations. These innovative techniques can restore your entire smile, even when bone loss seems severe. With state-of-the-art technology and compassionate expertise, we help you regain full function, confidence, and a renewed quality of life.
Zygomatic and Pterygoid Implants are specialized dental implants designed for patients with significant upper jaw bone loss. Full arch restorations can be stably supported by implants placed in dense bone. Zygomatic implants use the cheekbone, while pterygoid implants anchor in the rear upper jaw plate, bypassing the need for jawbone placement.
These advanced implants often remove the need for bone grafting, allowing immediate restoration of your smile. At 24th Street Dental, Dr. Barrett uses 3D imaging and guided surgical technology to place each implant with precision, ensuring safety, comfort, and long-term success.
The earliest and most reversible stage, gingivitis, involves inflammation of the gums caused by plaque buildup. Symptoms include redness, bleeding when brushing, and mild swelling.
If untreated, gingivitis can advance into periodontitis. At this stage, the inner layer of the gum pulls away from the teeth, forming pockets that collect bacteria and debris. This leads to tissue breakdown and bone loss.
Severe periodontitis can result in loose teeth, painful chewing, gum recession, and even tooth loss. It also increases the risk of systemic health problems, including heart disease and diabetes.
The All-on-4 Full Arch Implant procedure replaces a complete upper or lower arch of missing teeth using only four strategically placed implants. These implants hold a fixed, natural-looking bridge that stays securely in place.
Patients seeking a permanent, comfortable alternative to removable dentures should consider this treatment. With All-on-4, you can smile, eat, and speak naturally without worrying about slipping or adhesives. At 24th Street Dental, we combine digital planning and Dr. Barrett’s surgical expertise to create life-changing results in as little as one appointment.
These advanced implant solutions restore much more than just your smile. They rebuild your ability to eat, speak, and live with confidence.

Zygomatic implants anchor in the cheekbone to replace upper teeth when jawbone loss prevents the placement of traditional implants. They provide a strong foundation for full arch restorations.
All-on-4 uses only four implants to support a complete arch. It offers immediate results and avoids lengthy grafting procedures.
Treatments are performed under anesthesia or sedation for your comfort. Most patients report only mild soreness for a few days.
Initial healing takes a few days, while complete integration occurs over several months. Many patients return to normal activities within a week.
With good care and regular checkups, these implants can last decades. They are a long-term investment in your oral health and confidence.
Your smile affects your health, your appearance, and how you feel each day. Do not let missing teeth or bone loss limit your life any longer. 24th Street Dental in Phoenix, AZ, led by Dr. Chris Barrett, offers advanced implant solutions to restore your full smile and your confidence.
