In an exclusive conversation with Page 3 Magazine, Dr. Aamir Rafiq answered our carefully curated questions, offering valuable insights into modern dentistry and aesthetic excellence.
What are dental implants, and how are they different from dentures or bridges?
Dental implants are permanent tooth replacements made by placing a titanium post into the jawbone, which acts like a natural tooth root. Unlike dentures, implants don’t move or slip, and unlike bridges, they don’t require cutting or damaging adjacent healthy teeth. They are fixed, stable, and feel closest to natural teeth.
Who is the ideal candidate for dental implants? Is age a factor?
Anyone with good overall health and sufficient jawbone density can be a candidate for dental implants. Age is not a limiting factor, what matters more is bone health and oral hygiene. Even older patients can successfully receive implants if their health allows.
How long do dental implants usually last with proper care?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, dental implants can last 20 years or even a lifetime. They are designed as a long-term solution, unlike many other tooth replacement options.
Is the dental implant procedure painful, and how long does the recovery take?
The procedure itself is usually done under local anaesthesia, so patients feel minimal discomfort. Mild swelling or soreness afterwards is normal and manageable with medication. Initial recovery takes a few days, while full healing and bone integration can take a few months.
How do dental implants improve facial appearance and overall smile confidence?
Dental implants prevent bone loss, maintain facial structure, and stop the sunken look that can occur with missing teeth. They restore natural proportions of the face, leading to a more youthful appearance and increased smile confidence.
Can dental implants look natural and match a person’s personal style?
Yes, absolutely. Dental implants are custom-designed to match the shape, color, and alignment of a patient’s natural teeth. They can be tailored to complement facial features and personal aesthetic preferences, making them virtually indistinguishable from real teeth.
What care and maintenance are required after getting dental implants?
Implants require the same care as natural teeth, regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental visits. Avoiding smoking and maintaining good oral hygiene significantly improves implant longevity.
Are dental implants safe, and what is the overall success rate?
Dental implants are one of the safest and most well-researched dental procedures, with a success rate of 95-98% when placed by experienced professionals. Proper planning and aftercare play a key role in their success.
How soon can a person eat normally after getting dental implants?
Patients can usually eat soft foods within a day or two after surgery. Normal eating gradually resumes as healing progresses, typically within a few weeks, depending on the individual case and treatment plan.
Why are dental implants considered a long-term investment in oral health and appearance?
Dental implants preserve jawbone health, protect neighbouring teeth, and eliminate the need for frequent replacements. While the initial cost may be higher, they save money and complications in the long run while offering unmatched comfort and aesthetics.
How does a confident smile enhance overall personality and self-confidence?
A confident smile improves self-esteem, communication, and social presence. People tend to feel more comfortable expressing themselves, which positively impacts personal and professional interactions.
Do you think a healthy smile plays an important role in first impressions and overall appearance?
Yes, a healthy smile is one of the first things people notice. It reflects self-care, confidence, and approach ability, making a strong and lasting first impression.
