Single Tooth Implant in Oxnard, CA
Understanding Single Tooth Implants
A single tooth implant is a standalone replacement for a missing tooth. It consists of three main components: the implant (a titanium post that acts as an artificial tooth root), an abutment (a connector that sits on top of the implant), and a crown (a custom-made artificial tooth that attaches to the abutment). This comprehensive solution mimics the structure and function of a natural tooth, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing replacement.

What to Expect During the Single Tooth Implant Process
At Seren Advanced Dentistry Oxnard, we ensure a smooth and comfortable implant experience. Here’s a detailed overview of the process when you visit our expert dentist in Oxnard, CA:
- Consultation & Planning: Dr. Ntekim will assess your oral health, discuss your needs, and create a personalized treatment plan.
- Implant Placement: The first surgical step involves placing the titanium implant into your bone. This is typically done under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. In some cases, a temporary crown may be placed at this stage.
- Osseointegration & Healing: Over the next 3-6 months, the implant will fuse with your bone in a process called osseointegration. This creates a stable foundation for your new tooth.
- Abutment & Crown Placement: An abutment is attached to the implant, and a custom-made crown that matches the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth is created and secured.
- Follow-Up Care: Dr. Ntekim will provide detailed instructions for caring for your new implant and schedule follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing and function.
