Dr. Mark Berenshteyn
Dr. Mark Berenshteyn was born in Brooklyn, NY, and is the son of Ukrainian immigrants. Dr. Mark graduated from the Harvard School of Dental Medicine, where he earned the International College of Dentists Leadership Award and the ASDA Award of Excellence.
He then completed a general practice residency at the Northport VA Medical Center, where he had the opportunity to provide complex care to our veterans in need. Before coming to Fitchburg, Dr. Mark practiced in Keene, NH, where he continued to take continuing education courses to further his skills.
Giving back is also important to Dr. Mark. He recently completed dental mission trips in Guatemala as well as mission trips in Philadelphia and Connecticut in the last year. When he’s not caring for patients, he can be found exploring a new hike, cooking up a storm in the kitchen, or reading a good book. Dr. Mark is an excellent clinician with a heartfelt commitment to care for our community.

High-quality Tooth Replacement in Fitchburg
A Natural Look & Feel
Implants function just like real teeth, restoring your smile with a seamless, natural appearance.
Long-Lasting Durability
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a smart long-term investment.
Improved Comfort & Stability
Unlike traditional dentures, implants won’t slip or move, giving you confidence in every bite.
Understanding Tooth Loss
Tooth loss is more common than you think. Whether due to decay, injury, or gum disease, losing a tooth can affect your oral health, appearance, and quality of life. Fortunately, dental implants offer a permanent solution that restores your ability to chew, speak, and smile without worry.
Why It’s Important to Replace Missing Teeth
→ Bone Loss
→ Shifting Teeth
→ Gum Health Issues
→ Chewing Difficulties
The Ideal Dental Implant Candidate
What to Expect During Your Implant Procedure
Consultation & Planning
We begin with a comprehensive evaluation, including 3D imaging (CBCT scans) to assess your bone structure and plan the placement of your implants.
Implant Placement
During a minor surgical procedure, the titanium implant is placed into the jawbone. Over the next few months, the implant fuses with the bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a strong foundation.
Abutment & Restoration
Once healed, an abutment (connector piece) is attached to the implant, and a custom crown, bridge, or denture is placed for a natural, fully functional smile.

Frequently asked questions
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The attached crown may need replacement after 10-15 years due to wear.
Is getting a dental implant painful?
The procedure is performed with local anesthesia, making it comfortable. Most patients experience only mild soreness, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
How much do dental implants cost?
The cost varies based on the number of implants needed. We offer flexible financing options through CareCredit and Cherry to make implants affordable.
Does insurance cover dental implants?
Some insurance plans cover part of the implant procedure. Our team will verify your benefits and help you understand your coverage.
Can I get an implant if I have gum disease?
Gum disease must be treated first to ensure a stable foundation for the implant. We offer periodontal care to help prepare your gums for treatment.
How long does the implant process take?
From implant placement to final restoration, the process usually takes 3-6 months to allow for proper healing and integration.
Are dental implants better than dentures?
Implants provide more stability, comfort, and longevity than dentures. They also help preserve jawbone health and prevent facial sagging.
Can I eat normally with dental implants?
Yes! Once fully healed, dental implants function like natural teeth, allowing you to eat all your favorite foods.
What if I don’t have enough bone for implants?
If you have bone loss, a bone grafting procedure may be needed to create a stable foundation for the implant.
How do I care for my dental implants?
Implants require the same care as natural teeth—brushing twice daily, flossing, and regular checkups to maintain their longevity.
