Dental Implants

Embracing the latest in dental technology with a holistic health perspective, Dr Ansuyah Magan offers dental implants as a transformative solution for those missing one or more teeth.

What are dental implants?

Dental implants consist of titanium posts surgically inserted into the jawbone under the gums, acting as solid foundations for artificial teeth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants provide a permanent solution to tooth loss and offer stability since they fuse to the jawbone, mimicking the look, feel, and function of natural teeth.

Why would someone need dental implants?

Individuals may consider dental implants for various reasons, including losing one or more teeth due to decay, injury, or disease. Implants are frequently chosen instead of other tooth replacement methods because they halt bone loss, preserve facial contours, and offer a stable, lasting solution that enhances chewing, speaking, and overall life quality.

What does a dental implant procedure include?

The dental implant process is a multi-step journey that begins with a thorough evaluation to determine if you are a suitable candidate. The procedure begins with the placement of the implant post into the jawbone, followed by a healing period that allows the implant to integrate with the bone, a process known as osseointegration.

After the integration, an abutment is attached to the post, which will hold the new tooth. Finally, a custom-made crown is attached, completing the restoration. Dr Magan's expertise ensures that each step is performed with precision, care, and consideration for your overall health.

What are the benefits of dental implants?

The benefits of dental implants are significant, offering more than just aesthetic improvements:

• Improved oral health and functionality.
• Halting bone loss and maintaining facial structure.
• Enhanced comfort and stability compared to traditional dentures.
• Increased confidence in social and professional settings.

What does the aftercare look like?

Aftercare for dental implants involves maintaining good oral hygiene, including regular brushing and flossing and regular dental check-ups. Dr Magan provides detailed aftercare instructions to ensure the longevity of your implants and tips for maintaining overall oral health.
