Why it helps
Why patients choose Implants in Thousand Oaks
Fixed and natural-looking
An implant crown is anchored in bone and shaded to match, so it doesn't shift and looks like your own tooth.
Leaves neighboring teeth alone
Unlike a traditional bridge, an implant doesn't require reshaping the healthy teeth on either side of the gap.
Helps preserve bone
An implant carries chewing forces into the jaw, which helps slow the bone loss that follows losing a tooth.
Planned before surgery day
A 3D CBCT scan and a digital plan mean your surgeon knows exactly where the implant will go before you sit down.
The process
What to expect, step by step
Typical timeline: About an hour to place one implant. Typically four to seven months from placement to the final crown.
- 01
Complimentary consultation and CBCT
Your surgeon examines the area, takes a 3D scan and explains your options, including alternatives to an implant.
- 02
Digital plan and one quote
The implant is planned around the final tooth, and you receive one written estimate covering every step.
- 03
Implant placement
With local anesthetic, and IV sedation if you like, the implant is placed, often through a 3D-printed guide.
- 04
Healing
Over about three to six months the bone bonds to the implant. A temporary tooth fills a visible gap.
- 05
Abutment and crown
Once the implant is stable, a custom abutment and crown are attached, by us or by your own dentist.

Dr. Hart biopsied a spot on my gum and explained everything in a calm, kind way. Results came back benign and she called me herself. A Farsi-speaking team member helped my mother understand the aftercare.

Dr. Hart did my lower full arch. She showed me the plan on the scan and the written estimate covered everything down to the follow-ups. Glad I did not have to drive into LA. Eating normally again after years of avoiding half the menu.

Dr. Weiss took out my daughter's impacted wisdom teeth. She was very anxious and he spent extra time at the consult answering every question. He called that evening, and she was back to her summer job in four days.
Is it right for you?
You may be a good candidate if…
- Adults missing one or more teeth, or with a tooth that cannot be saved
- People with enough jawbone, or who are willing to have a graft to rebuild it
- Patients with healthy gums, or gum disease that has been treated
- Non-smokers, or smokers willing to stop around the time of surgery
- Patients whose diabetes or other medical conditions are well controlled
Recovery tips
- Expect mild swelling and tenderness for two to three days. Ice and over-the-counter pain relief usually help.
- Eat soft foods and chew on the other side for about a week, or as your surgeon advises.
- Avoid smoking and vaping during healing. Both slow the bone's bond with the implant.
- Rinse gently with salt water from the day after surgery and keep the area clean with a soft brush.
- Once the crown is on, brush and floss around it daily. A water flosser works well.
- Keep regular cleanings and exams so the gum and bone around the implant can be checked.
