From 2006 to 2011, Dr. Ntekim worked as a dental associate at GJ Nichols & Partners Dental Surgeons in Pudsey, Leeds, England. Here, he further developed his clinical skills and began building the foundation for his later specialization in restorative and implant dentistry.

Dr. Ntekim attributes his career path to personal discipline and an unwavering focus on his goals, drawing early inspiration from his father — a physician and pathologist — and his uncle, who practiced dentistry. His strong artistic talent further influenced his decision to pursue dentistry, as it allowed him to combine medical science with creativity. He considers himself a lifelong learner who actively seeks knowledge from literature and colleagues alike, believing that continuous improvement is essential within the dental profession.

He has also received multiple years' recognition under the British Dental Association Good Practice Scheme, as well as repeated Investors in People awards.

Born in London, Dr. Ntekim maintains an active lifestyle outside his professional commitments. He enjoys running five kilometers every other day, practicing yoga daily and swimming several times each week. A lifelong chess player, he also plays golf when possible and spends time walking or hiking with Barack, his British Patterdale Terrier, who was brought over from the United Kingdom. Despite working six days a week to accommodate patients' schedules, he prioritizes time with his wife and daughter.

Looking ahead, Dr. Ntekim plans to improve access to dental services within the Oxnard community while growing his practice at Seren Advanced Dentistry Oxnard. Recognizing that colleagues frequently seek his guidance on complex cases, he intends to expand his mentorship efforts by developing webinars and educational courses aimed at supporting younger dentists interested in implant dentistry and advanced clinical therapies before eventually concluding his clinical career.
