Dental Implants
A permanent, natural-looking replacement for missing teeth.
You've lost a tooth — or perhaps several. Chewing is harder than it used to be, and smiling may feel uncomfortable. A missing tooth doesn't just affect your smile; it changes your bite and, over time, the bone that once supported it.
Dental implants are the closest thing to a natural tooth. From the implant to the final restoration, your treatment is planned and delivered under one roof in Thousand Oaks — with restorations designed and milled in our in-house digital lab.
What is a dental implant?
An implant is a small titanium post placed into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone over a few months to form a permanent, stable foundation. A custom ceramic crown is then attached on top — matching your surrounding teeth in shape, size, and shade.
Because the implant replaces the root as well as the crown, it looks, feels, and functions just like a natural tooth.
- Looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth
- Protects the jawbone and preserves facial structure
- Doesn't rely on or damage neighboring teeth
- With proper care, can last a lifetime
Who is a candidate?
A dental implant may be right for you if you:
- Are missing one tooth or several
- Have a failing, cracked, or badly decayed tooth
- Want a longer-lasting alternative to a bridge or denture
- Have enough healthy bone (or are open to a graft to rebuild it)
The implant process
- 01
Consultation & 3D scan
We evaluate the site, bone, and bite with a low-radiation 3D scan and map the most predictable approach for your case.
- 02
Implant placement
The titanium post is placed under local anesthetic, with sedation available — a precise, comfortable procedure.
- 03
Healing & integration
Over a few months the implant fuses with the bone, forming a permanent foundation. Some cases qualify for an immediate-load implant the same day.
- 04
Your final crown
A custom ceramic crown, milled in our in-house lab, is attached — looking and working like a natural tooth.
