About Vitality Health
Dr. Claudio Tocchio
Oral and maxillofacial surgeon, and former Chief of Dental Surgery at North York General Hospital — with over thirty years of practice and more than a thousand implant surgeries performed.
Surgical depth, from routine to complex
Dr. Tocchio completed specialty training in oral and maxillofacial surgery at the University of Toronto. His practice spans the full range, from routine extractions through to complex reconstruction requiring bone grafting and sinus lifts.
As former Chief of Dental Surgery at North York General Hospital, he has managed extensive implant caseloads, including complex surgical cases requiring advanced training.
Patients consistently note his calm demeanour, clear explanations, and dedication to achieving strong, predictable surgical outcomes — which matters a great deal when the procedure ahead of you sounds daunting.
Areas of expertise
Implant Surgery
Single-tooth placements through to full-mouth restorations, planned digitally before any incision is made.
Bone Grafting & Sinus Lifts
Rebuilding bone volume where there is not enough to support an implant — routinely the step that makes implants possible at all.
Complex Extractions
Including impacted, fractured, and previously treated teeth that cannot be removed straightforwardly.
All-on-4 & All-on-6
Full-arch surgical placement, working with the practice's implant and restorative team.
Advanced Reconstruction
Cases involving multiple procedures staged over months, where surgical sequencing determines the final result.
Guided Placement
3D CBCT imaging and computer-guided surgery for precise positioning and predictable outcomes.
What recovery looks like
Timelines vary by procedure, but as a general guide: temporary crowns are typically in place within one to two weeks, while osseointegration — the process of the implant fusing with your jawbone — takes three to six months.
Our on-site digital lab fabricates custom restorations in-house, which removes the outsourcing delay from that timeline.
