What is A Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. It consists of a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root. Once healed, a crown, bridge, or denture can be attached to restore function and appearance.

At Toner Family Dental, we handle the entire dental implant process in-house—from extraction to restoration. If a tooth needs to be removed, we’ll extract it and place bone graft material to support the implant. In many cases, the implant can be placed during the same appointment.

Once the implant has fully healed and integrated with the bone, we create a custom crown or bridge that fits precisely over the implant. This final restoration is designed to look and function like a natural tooth, helping you regain comfort, confidence, and a complete smile.
