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.
Western Mass Periodontics Reviews
I had a difficult situation with a set of prosthetics that I had done on the west coast. They had come loose since I moved East and I had been having a difficult time finding a dentist that could deal with this particular implant. On my first visit, they discovered that they didn't have the proper parts so even though they worked on me and took pictures, they did not charge me for that visit. By my second visit, the proper parts had been acquired and the procedure went off without a hitch. I'm so grateful for Dr. Schmidt and his crew for their patient and professional handling of a rather unique situation. I highly recommend this office especially if you are dealing with prosthetics and dental implants.
Three extractions, as preparation for implants. Zero pain or discomfort. Zero pain or discomfort for the following days. Super hi-tech office. Super experience.
I'm retired on a small pension. I was pleased that they came up with a treatment plant, including implants, that I can manage. The dentist and his staff were very nice.
The staff is amazing! You never feel rushed. The staff and doctor seem to very comfortable around each other a nd the levity in the office makes for a very comfortable atmosphere. I had full dental implants and was thrilled with the results. I also know personally two friend s that had the same experience with this practice. I would highly recommend them
Just finished my first complete implant procedure with Dr. Schmidt. All done. Perfect!!! Ready for the new tooth. This whole experience with Dr. Schmidt was excellent!! Better than I could possibly hope for. My previous five implants with different doctors were a mixed bag. Painful, unsuccessful and expensive. Not with Dr. Schmidt!! Fast, painless and 100% successful. Ellis Dental Clinic in Schenectady, NY quoted a price of $8,000 for this front tooth implant. Dr. Schmidt charged $2,600. A bargain and such a professional procedure. I have two more implants needed and I will be contacting Dr. Schmidt for them.
