Dental implants in West Valley City are the closest thing to getting your natural teeth back. Each implant is a small titanium post placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root, topped with a connector (abutment) and a custom crown built to match your smile. The result looks, feels, and works like a real tooth — and with the right care, it can last the rest of your life. Whether you are missing one tooth or several, our team designs the plan around your bite, your bone, and your goals.
People across West Valley City choose us because we plan every implant before we ever pick up an instrument. We use 3D CT scans, digital impressions, and custom surgical guides to map the exact position of your implant down to the sub-millimeter — so placement is precise, predictable, and easier to recover from. You will work with the same team from your first consultation to the day your final crown goes in. No handoffs, no guesswork. Just careful, comfortable care from people who do this every week.
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.
Missing one tooth and missing a full arch call for very different solutions. Here are the implant options we offer in West Valley City, and who each one tends to fit best.
One implant, one crown. The best fit when you have lost a single tooth and want to replace it without filing down the healthy teeth on either side.
A few implants can anchor a fixed bridge to replace several teeth in a row — more stable than a traditional bridge and far kinder to your jawbone.
Replace a full upper or lower arch on as few as four implants — a fixed, non-removable set of teeth and a popular alternative to traditional dentures.
Love the price of dentures but hate the slipping? These snap onto a few implants for a secure fit you can eat and speak with confidently.
Not sure you have enough jawbone for an implant? Procedures like bone grafting and sinus augmentation can rebuild the foundation so your implant has something solid to hold onto.
EXCELLENT Based on 1012 reviews Posted on Google Susan MooreOctober 21, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot say enough nice things about this place. I am from Georgia, but I am in Utah for work. Last night I broke my tooth that I had a filling in and I called Pioneer Valley dental first thing this morning. They were able to get me in at 8:30 AM and get another filling put in my tooth. I had an infection in my tooth and if I hadn’t gone, I would’ve probably been in a lot of pain. Luckily all I need are antibiotics and ibuprofen and a trip to see my dentist when I get home. Dr. Austin.Steffenson and the other staff were amazing. I highly recommend them.Posted on Google Laura NixonSeptember 17, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just left my regular 6 month dental cleaning appointment and am so happy!! Where do I even start? Our family has been going to Pioneer Valley Dental and seeing Dr. Smith since 1994! We left after 11 years because we moved further south. Later I returned when I needed a third opinion and Dr. Smith saved a tooth that others thought should be removed. I’ve been there ever since and I seriously CANNOT think of any one thing they could do to improve this business!!!! From cleanings to crowns to implants. They do amazing work!! From the moment I walk in and walk out it’s professional, peaceful, caring, helpful, fun, friendly, uplifting and down right gorgeous. I wish that every service oriented business could be this perfect!! Since 1994 I have NEVER had ANY complaint about this office and our children loved going here!! NO COMPLAINTS EVER!!….about anyone or any thing! You name it - courtesy, expertise, financially helpful, gentle, top notch dental work, listening ear, trustworthy, knowledgeable office staff…I can’t say enough good about this 10 star incredible dental office!! I do not know how they have been so consistently amazing for so many years! And on top of all this amazing professionalism I walk out with my dental goody bag and a treat coupon of my choice for keeping my appointment. That's a free lunch for me. If I could give them a 10 star rating I would!!! I am so grateful to all of them, for all they have done, for me and my family, for 30 years!Posted on Google Taitem PetersenAugust 29, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Cost is usually the first question, and it is a fair one. What you pay depends on how many teeth you are replacing, whether you need a bone graft first, and the type of restoration — a single crown runs very differently from a full-arch set. At your consultation we hand you an itemized quote, so there are no surprises later.
Worried about paying all at once? We will walk through financing options together, and for a full breakdown you can read our guide on what dental implants cost in West Valley City.
A single implant typically runs several thousand dollars once you include the post, abutment, and crown, though the exact number depends on how many teeth you're replacing and whether you need bone grafting or a sinus lift first.
We'll give you a full, itemized quote at your consultation — no guessing games. For a general sense of local pricing before you come in, see our guide on what dental implants cost in West Valley City.
Sometimes, partially. Many plans treat the crown portion differently than the surgical placement, and some don't cover implants at all, treating them as cosmetic.
We'll review your specific plan with you and lay out exactly what's covered and what isn't before you commit to treatment.
The placement itself is done under local anesthesia, so you shouldn't feel pain during the procedure. Afterward, most patients describe the discomfort as similar to a tooth extraction — manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers for a few days. Bruising or swelling is normal and usually settles within a week.
With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, implants can last decades — many patients keep the same implant for the rest of their life. The crown on top may eventually need replacing due to normal wear, but the titanium post itself is built to last.
It depends on how much healthy jawbone you have left where the tooth is missing. If you've been without a tooth for a while, or lost it to advanced gum disease, we may recommend bone grafting or a sinus augmentation first to build a solid foundation.
We'll know for certain after a CT scan, which is part of every implant consultation at our West Valley City office.
It depends on what you're solving for. Implants are the only option that replaces the tooth root itself, which helps prevent the jawbone loss that comes with missing teeth — bridges and dentures rest on top of the gum or nearby teeth instead.
We go through the tradeoffs of each in our comparison, dental implants vs. dentures vs. bridges, but the honest answer is that the best option is the one that fits your bone health, budget, and how many teeth you're replacing.
