dental implants

Declining self-confidence is a common problem among severe tooth loss and decay patients; that’s a lot of people! According to the American College of Prosthodontists, about 120 million people in the United States are expected to be missing at least one tooth, and thirty-six million miss all their teeth in one or both of their jaws. Thousand Oaks Oral Surgery cares about each patient’s oral health and overall well-being. We help create a treatment plan to improve your oral wellness. Dental implants are a long-term solution for tooth replacement that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth. They can be used to replace a single tooth or a complete set. A dental implant replaces the entire tooth — even its root! Dental implants have three parts: the post, the abutment, and the crown. Made of specialized titanium, the dental implant post is surgically fixed into the jaw bone and will serve as the root for the replacement tooth. This post is fused with the jaw bone through a method called osseointegration and is responsible for the dental implant’s stable, firm, and durable foundation. The crown is a customized prosthesis designed to blend into the surrounding teeth for the most natural look imaginable. It lies on top of the dental implant post and is the most visible part of the implant. Finally, the abutment attaches the dental implant post to the crown. A single dental implant truly is a perfect tooth replacement solution! Thousand Oaks Oral Surgery’s Dr. Jonathan K. Nakano designs customized tooth replacement treatment plans to create the best possible outcome for every patient. If you’re considering a dental implant, multiple implants, a full-arch restoration, or another tooth replacement option, we’ll help design the most effective treatment plan. Dr. Nakano is an experienced oral and maxillofacial surgeon who performs dental implant-based restorations in their safe and sterile practice in Thousand Oaks, CA.

What are the benefits of dental implants?

Dental implants are a long-term tooth replacement option that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth. They help your oral health to improve too! Other benefits of dental implants are:
  • Permanent and reliable replacement. The post will be fused with the jaw bone through osseointegration and provide a strong, safe, and permanent foundation. With decent care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
  • Best results. The crown is a customized prosthesis designed to blend into the surrounding teeth for the most natural look imaginable.
  • Boost Self-Confidence. Many of our patients tell us how they feel better after receiving dental implants.
  • Eat the food you love. Traditional tooth replacement options can make it challenging or undesirable to eat certain foods. Dental implants offer the protection and courage to eat the foods you love again without worrying about the implant slipping or falling out.
  • Preserve bone health. Dental implants are recognized as a complete tooth replacement because they also replace the tooth’s root, or the tooth responsible for maintaining the jawbone’s health.
  • Versatile. Whether you are missing a tooth, several teeth, or even an entire set of teeth, dental implants offer numerous solutions to tooth loss.
Most patients are dental implant candidates. If you are healthy enough to get a tooth extracted, you can be qualified to receive a dental implant. Dr. Jonathan K. Nakano is an experienced oral and maxillofacial surgeon and an expert in dental implant placements. If you’re looking for a tooth replacement solution, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our office and schedule a consultation. Dr. Nakano will provide a complete oral evaluation and work with you to design the best treatment plan.

dental implant process

Dental Implant Process

Your treatment will begin with a consultation appointment. You will meet with our doctor to guide you through your optimal treatment plan. During this primary appointment, you can expect a comprehensive oral evaluation, a summary of your treatment plan, and anesthesia options to be addressed and selected. Diagnostic images are also going to be taken. You will also arrange your dental implant operation on this day, and your surgery will take place on a different day. Feeling safe, comfortable, and informed is a top priority at Thousand Oaks Oral Surgery. We highly encourage you to ask questions and address any concerns you may have during this appointment. We will ensure you are totally at ease on the day of your surgery before we begin. First, we will administer the anesthesia you have selected during the consultation period. Generally, it involves your oral surgeon surgically placing the dental implant post into the jaw bone. Your procedure may differ depending on your treatment plan. Some patients may need an extraction or bone graft as an additional procedure before placing a dental implant. Once the dental implant has been set, the surgical site is closed. You can finally rest pleasantly in our surgical suite to heal. You will be able to go home once the effects of the anesthesia have worn off. Single dental implant placements may take between 30 and 60 minutes or around two to three hours for multiple implants for most patients. Once your procedure is completed, and the implant post is in place, the healing begins. Your recovery time will depend on numerous factors, such as your overall health, your jaw bone’s strength, and your body’s natural healing capabilities. Most patients resume their usual routines after a few days of rest, but your implant normally will fuse with your jaw bone over the next few weeks. During this healing stage, you may receive a temporary crown from wearing. This is a detachable but fixed prosthesis. A restorative dentist will set your permanent, customized crown once your oral surgeon has decided that your implant has healed successfully. If you want to know more about dental implant placement in Thousand Oaks, CA, please call Thousand Oaks Oral Surgery. We will schedule a consultation with Dr. Jonathan K. Nakano to design a unique dental implant treatment plan just for you.

The Value of Dental Implants

Dental implants achieve natural teeth’ look, feel, and function securely and permanently, making them ideal solutions for tooth replacement. At Thousand Oaks Oral Surgery, we provide our patients with the best dental implant placement as a permanent tooth replacement option.
Some of the reasons why most of our patients choose to invest in dental implants are as follows:
  • Permanent tooth replacement. Unlike other tooth replacement procedures, your dental implants do not need to be replaced, saving you the trouble and expense of regular treatments for the same missing teeth. Dental implants can endure a lifetime with good oral hygiene and frequent dental appointments.
  • Preserves oral health and jaw structure. Dental implants fuse with your jaw bone during the recovery process through osseointegration. Because of this, dental implants act like real tooth roots in your jaw, continuously stimulating the jaw bone when you eat to keep bone loss at bay. Dental implants will also save you from the dental shifting caused by missing teeth. When your teeth are correctly adjusted in the dental arch, you are less likely to need costly dental work later.
  • Enhanced state of life. It’s difficult to estimate how much value our dental implant patients receive, from appreciating the foods they love to speaking and smiling with confidence again. These daily life enhancements add up to a better and healthier patient. We see evidence of this in our practice every day!
Dr. Jonathan K. Nakano is an experienced oral and maxillofacial surgeon and an expert in dental implant placement. We highly encourage you to call our office and schedule a consultation if you consider getting dental implants. Our oral surgeon will provide a complete oral assessment and work with you to produce a treatment plan that works best for you.

Denture Replacement With Dental Implants

If you’re wearing dentures, Dr. Jonathan K. Nakano is thrilled to provide you with a better, more long-term replacement for missing teeth. Full-arch restoration is a life-changing method that uses implant posts to hold a secured denture in one or both dental arches. With this level of durability, you can regain the full function of your smile while also reaping the benefits of implant-based restoration, such as preventing jaw bone loss and preserving facial structure. Dental implants are an investment, and they can last a lifetime with proper care. We can also use implant-supported bridges or single implants as a replacement for partial dentures or traditional dental bridges.

Dental Implant FAQ

Thousand Oaks Oral Surgery in Thousand Oaks, CA, offers several options for tooth replacement specialized to our patients’ needs and preferences. Dr. Jonathan K. Nakano will work with you to choose the most reliable tooth-replacement plan for you.

A dental implant can be the right solution if your child loses a permanent tooth due to injury, accident, or congenital disability. Before undergoing a dental implant treatment, an oral surgeon would usually recommend waiting until a child is done developing–around the age of 16 for girls and 18 for boys. Please call our office for a consultation to discuss your child’s unique needs.

Most dental implants take a few months to a year, but every patient’s treatment plan is unique. You may notice that your dental implant process differs from other patients — and that’s OK! Your individual needs, lifestyle, health, and quality of bone may all affect your implant treatment time.

An oral and maxillofacial surgeon performs years of specialized education and training after dental school to deliver the full scope of oral surgery. Dr. Jonathan K. Nakano is an expert in dental implant placement in Thousand Oaks, CA. However, most dental implant treatments are coordinated between your general dentist and the oral surgeon. Your oral surgeon will place the dental implant posts surgically, and the permanent, customized crown will be set by your dentist to blend with the teeth around.

Patients with inadequate bone can still become successful candidates for dental implant treatments with the help of a bone grafting method. Bone grafting repairs or adds bone in the desired area.

During your recovery, your mouth requires extra care. However, dental implants require primary care after successfully healing and fusing the jaw bone. Brush and floss regularly, and schedule regular appointments with your dentist.

Some patients can resume normal activities within a few days of their dental implant placement procedure. Don’t hesitate to call us if you have any questions about your recovery. We are always here to help.

Before you get your permanent prosthesis, you have a few options for a temporary replacement. A bridge or modified denture is a common option. For the non-removable option, temporary transitional crowns can be created.
