Welcome to Channel Islands Family Dental

What is a dental implant and how does it work?

Losing one or more teeth can affect both the appearance and function of your smile. It can change the way you eat, speak, and even how you feel about yourself.

At Channel Islands Family Dental Office, our dentists in Thousand Oaks understand how important this is. That is why we offer dental implants. Unlike traditional dentures and prosthetics, dental implants are a more aesthetic, comfortable, and natural solution for replacing missing teeth.

A dental implant is a small titanium screw that works like the root of a natural tooth. It is placed into the jawbone or upper jaw to replace a missing tooth.

  • Through a process called osseointegration, the bone fuses with the implant, creating a strong and stable base. 
  • This base supports a dental crown, a bridge, or even a full fixed denture. As a result, the replacement tooth looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth.

Unlike removable dentures, dental implants do not move and do not cause discomfort when speaking or eating. They are the most natural, stable, and long-lasting option, especially for patients who do not want to rely on removable prosthetics.

Who can receive a dental implant?

Dental implants are ideal for adults who have lost one or more teeth.

  • Before recommending an implant, our dentists in Thousand Oaks perform a complete evaluation. This includes oral health, bone density, and general medical conditions.
  • Many people believe that if there is not enough bone, implants are not possible. However, in many cases, a bone graft can be performed to prepare the area for the implant.

Each treatment is carefully evaluated and customized based on the patient’s specific needs.

Benefits of dental implants

Dental implants represent the highest standard in modern dentistry. They offer a safe, aesthetic, and long-term solution for missing teeth. Some of their main benefits include:

  • Natural appearance: They blend perfectly with natural teeth, creating a discreet and attractive smile.
  • Full function: You can eat, speak, and smile with confidence, without discomfort or limitations.
  • High durability: With proper care, dental implants can last many years and even a lifetime.
  • Bone and tooth preservation: They help maintain bone structure and prevent nearby teeth from shifting.
  • Easy care: Implants are cleaned and maintained just like natural teeth, making daily hygiene simple.

Situations where dental implants may not be recommended

Although most adults can receive dental implants, there are some situations that must be checked and controlled before deciding on surgery. In some cases, implants may not be the best option, such as:

  • Untreated gum disease.
  • Insufficient bone density that cannot be corrected.
  • Medical conditions that affect healing or increase bleeding, such as diabetes, osteoporosis, or patients taking blood thinners.

In these situations, our dentists in Thousand Oaks work closely with your physician to evaluate whether implants are possible or if other alternatives, such as bridges or fixed dentures, may be a better option. These alternatives can also provide good aesthetic and functional results.

4 Ways To Schedule Your Appointment

How a dental implant can improve your life

Beyond aesthetics, dental implants restore comfort and confidence. Our patients in Thousand Oaks enjoy:

  • Eating any type of food without fear.
  • Speaking clearly and with confidence.
  • Smiling freely, without worrying about movement or an artificial appearance.

Replacing a missing tooth is a change that goes beyond the mouth. It improves confidence, self-esteem, and overall daily well-being.

How dental implants are placed

The dental implant procedure follows a specific protocol. In simple terms, the process includes:

  • Consultation and planning: We review X-rays and CT scans to evaluate bone quality, available space, and the exact position of the implant.
  • Implant placement: A simple surgical procedure is performed under local anesthesia, where the titanium implant is safely placed into the bone.
  • Bone integration: Over a period of 4 to 6 months, the implant fuses with the bone.
  • Crown placement: After healing, the process to place your new dental crown on the implant is completed.

Although it may sound simple, this procedure requires careful planning, organization, and commitment from both the dentist and the patient.

Throughout the entire process, we provide personalized care and clear explanations so patients feel calm, informed, and safe.

Aftercare for dental implants

Caring for a dental implant is very similar to caring for natural teeth. We recommend:

  • Daily brushing and interdental cleaning.
  • Regular dental checkups every 6 months.
  • Avoiding harmful habits such as biting hard objects or smoking.

With proper care, dental implants can last for decades and help maintain a healthy, natural-looking smile.
