What Are Hybrid Restorations?
Hybrid restorations, also known as hybrid implants, are used to replace several lost teeth for both aesthetic and functional reasons. They are titanium posts that are surgically inserted in the upper and lower arch of the mouth. Hybrid implants are attached to the jawbone and can then be attached to crowns or dentures. Western Mass Periodontics provides customized hybrid implants to recreate our patients' gorgeous smiles. Made from top-of-the-line, durable materials for a comfortable fit, hybrid implants look like real teeth and last anywhere from 5 – 10 years. To restore your smile, contact us in Great Barrington or Pittsfield, MA.
Who is A Candidate for Hybrid Restorations?
Candidates for hybrid restorations can be any patients who are missing several or all of their teeth. Tooth loss might be due to genetics, trauma, or decay. Hybrid implants are a good option for those desiring a long-term solution for replacement of their missing teeth. You should also have overall healthy gums and sufficient bone surface in order to allow the implants to be integrated correctly. Prior to providing any procedure, we will assess your dental health to determine if hybrid restorations are an ideal solution.
What Can I Expect When Getting Hybrid Restorations?
Before the procedure, we will take scans of your mouth to evaluate for the placement of your implants. Hybrid implants are typically surgically inserted while you are under general anesthesia. Once they are installed into the upper and/or lower, we will attach a temporary crown or dentures to the structure while your permanent structures are being created. This will also help to make sure that the implants have ample time to settle into the jaw. After the hybrids are fully integrated, we will anchor the permanent fixtures.
What is the Recovery Process for Hybrid Restorations like?
A follow-up appointment could be recommended a few weeks after getting your permanent dentures or crowns to check the comfort and fit. Your implants should be taken care of in the same way as your regular teeth. It is imperative that you continue to undergo routine dental examinations and cleanings at our Pittsfield or Great Barrington, MA office to maintain the health of your mouth and restorations. When cared for responsibly, hybrid implants can last up to 10 years.
Are Hybrid Restorations Covered by Insurance?
The cost of your hybrid restorations will depend upon your insurance carrier and your current benefits. Before your treatment, someone from our team will get in contact with your insurance company to determine your potential out-of-pocket costs. Western Mass Periodontics also accepts a variety of payment options to help make your dental work affordable.
Hybrid Restorations Reviews
I admit I was a bit nervous about having 2 extractions and implants. However, I had a wonderful pre-surgical interview with Dr. Schmidt and his assistant. They certainly eased my mind both with their explanations and professionalism. I'm now prepared for the best and a positive outcome! Thank you, Western Mass Periodontics Joe Furgal

I want to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Sebastien Salzmann for his excellent care and professionalism. From the first moment he identified I needed a tooth out and an implant, he knew it was not easy for me to loose another tooth and that it was going to be my first dental implant, but he provided me with careful and detailed care, making sure that every step of the treatment was clear and comfortable. He not only demonstrates deep knowledge as an specialist but also exceptional empathy and dedication towards his patients.He is without a doubt one of the best doctors I have ever had the pleasure of meeting! If you are looking for a highly trained professional who is committed to the well-being of his patients, I recommend Dr. Salzmann without reservation.Thank you doctor for your dedication and for making my implant experience so positive.
I had an absolutely amazing experience with Dr. Schmidt and his team. He put in two implants, extracted a tooth, and gave me a fixed hybrid appliance—all in one visit! I was in the chair for three hours, and thanks to a prescription sedative he gave me ahead of time, I don’t remember a single thing. No gas, no medication at the office—just the prescription, and I was out like a light. When I woke up, it was all done.It’s honestly incredible what he accomplished in such a short time. I had no pain when I got home and felt great. My only concern was making sure I followed his instructions to the letter!My follow-up visits with Dr. Schmidt were just as impressive. He was very thorough and took the time to point out a couple of small things I could do to make sure everything healed properly. I’m so glad he did—those small adjustments helped avoid any issues that could have slowed down my recovery. His attention to detail made a big difference.His staff is just as wonderful as he is—kind, professional, and skilled. They are a true reflection of Dr. Schmidt’s care and standards. If you’re nervous about dental work or looking for someone you can trust completely, I can’t recommend Dr. Schmidt enough. You’ll be in the best hands possible. Thank you, Dr. Schmidt 👍🏻Rena Stuart
Dr Schmidt is the best! I was worried about a possible tooth infection and how that might affect my upcoming surgery. Dr Schmidt returned my call right away and fit me in for an exam immediately..I was very thankful! Dr Schmidt has previously done 2 implants for me and the entire process was painless and turned out beautifully. Thanks again to Dr Schmidt and his wonderful staff! Deb Galvagni!
