Dental implants are a modern, long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth. They consist of a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root, a connector (abutment), and a custom-designed crown that mimics the look and function of a natural tooth. Implants provide unmatched stability, prevent bone loss, and restore your smile’s appearance and functionality, making them a superior choice for tooth replacement.
At Pioneer Valley Dental, we combine the advanced technology of CT scans, digital impressions, and custom surgical guides, with personalized care to deliver exceptional dental implant treatments. Our skilled team ensures precision and comfort throughout the process, from your initial consultation to the final restoration. Using cutting-edge tools and techniques, we create implants that not only fit perfectly but also blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Trust us to provide a supportive, compassionate environment where your needs come first, and your smile can thrive for years to come.
We will perform a thorough oral evaluation and use the most advanced dental technology to fully diagnose and customize your new smile design. Digital imaging (known as a CT scan) captures accurate intraoral data of your entire mouth. From there, detailed plans are designed, created and revised. Once finalized, the prosthetic design and surgical guide are fabricated.
On the day of your implant placement, your personalized surgical guide is used to accurately position the implant with sub-millimeter accuracy. The surgical procedure is amazingly quick and painless. A healing cover is then placed on top of the implant which allows the implant and tissue to heal.
After a period of healing – generally 3-4 months – an impression is taken of the position of the implant, and your beautiful custom fitting crown is fabricated for placement.
Dental implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care. Maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups is key to maximizing their longevity.
