Missing teeth change more than your smile. They affect how you chew, speak, and feel about yourself. Dental implants offer a permanent way to bring back what you’ve lost. At Corona Family Dental, our Bradenton team places implants that look, feel, and work like natural teeth.
A dental implant is a small titanium post that goes into your jawbone. It acts as a new root for a replacement tooth. Once the post heals into the bone, we attach a custom crown on top. The result looks and feels like the tooth you lost.
According to the Mayo Clinic, this procedure replaces tooth roots with metal posts and tops them with artificial teeth that match the look and function of real ones.
Implants don’t slip or shift like dentures can. You brush and floss them just like regular teeth. Most patients forget they even have one.
Every mouth is different. That’s why we offer several implant options at our Bradenton office.
Single Tooth Implants work best when you’re missing just one tooth. We place one post and one crown. Your other teeth stay untouched. Learn more about this option on our Single Tooth Implants page.
Full Mouth Dental Implants replace an entire arch of teeth. Options like All-on-4 use four to six posts to hold a full set of fixed teeth. No more messy adhesives or removable plates. Visit our Full Mouth Dental Implants page to see if this fits your needs.
Implant-Supported Dentures combine the best of both worlds. A few implants anchor your denture in place. It clicks in securely but can still come out for cleaning. Our Implant-Supported Dentures page explains how this works.
Implant-Supported Bridges replace several missing teeth in a row without grinding down healthy teeth. Implants on each end hold the bridge in place. Our Implant-Supported Bridges page explains how this option compares to traditional bridges.
You might be a good fit for implants if you:
Some patients need extra steps first. If your jawbone has thinned over time, bone grafting can rebuild it. We cover this process on our Bone Grafting page.
Your journey begins with a consultation. We’ll take images, check your bone health, and talk through your options. No pressure. Just honest answers about what will work for your mouth. Visit our Dental Implant Consultation page to learn what happens during this first appointment.
If a tooth needs to come out first, we can handle that too. Our Tooth Extraction for Implants page explains how we prepare the site for your new implant.

Dental Cleanings
Our Bradenton office handles implants from start to finish. You won’t bounce between specialists. Dr. Corona plans your case, places your implant, and restores it with your final crown. One team. One location.
We use digital scans and 3D imaging to plan each case. This means fewer surprises and faster healing. Our patients appreciate the personal attention. We take time to answer questions and explain each step.
Implant care doesn’t stop after placement. Regular checkups keep your implant healthy for years. Our Implant Maintenance page covers what to expect after your procedure.
Most patients feel little pain during the procedure. We numb the area completely before we start. You may have some soreness for a few days after. Over-the-counter pain relievers usually handle it well.
Implants may not work for people with uncontrolled diabetes, heavy smokers, or those with severe bone loss. Certain medications and health conditions can slow healing. We review your full history before recommending implants.
Some dental plans cover part of the implant cost. Coverage varies widely between insurers. Many plans pay for the crown but not the post. Our office staff can check your benefits and explain your out-of-pocket costs.
Implants take longer than other options. The process spans several months while the post fuses to bone. They also cost more upfront than bridges or dentures. But most patients find the long-term benefits worth the wait and investment.
