MAGD stands for Master of the Academy of General Dentistry. Earning Mastership takes dedication to dental continuing education (CE) beyond graduation. Less than 2 percent of general dentists in the U.S. and Canada are AGD Masters. When you see a dentist with MAGD after their name, you can rest assured that they care about knowing the latest techniques and best practices in dentistry. AGD Masters practice these techniques in a classroom setting multiple times a year not every dentist does this.

Adult tooth loss is a concerning problem for many Americans. While decay was the main culprit leading to this devastating oral condition in earlier decades, periodontal disease has risen to claim the primary role in tooth loss today. In fact, according to Perio.org, half of all U.S. adults aged 30 and over are affected by periodontitis.* As such, finding a viable solution for replacing missing teeth caused by periodontal infection or other conditions is a concern among many patients. Dr. Reuben Jamharian is a leading implant dentist who can restore function and stability to a beautiful smile with dental implants in Albuquerque, NM.
The options for addressing missing teeth are varied, but dental implants have fast become the gold standard in tooth replacement. No other tooth replacement solution more closely mimics the natural relationship between the crown of a tooth and its root. Surgically inserted into bone tissue, teeth implants offer a strong, stable bite designed to last a lifetime. Additional benefits of receiving dental implants include the following:
Missing even a single tooth can greatly impact your ability to chew, smile confidently and communicate comfortably with others. Whether your tooth replacement needs lie within a single space or multiple areas, Dr. Jamharian can evaluate your oral condition and recommend the best options for your specific needs. The beauty of teeth implants is in their versatility they are effective at replacing a single tooth, multiple missing teeth or even an entire arch of dentition. Consider the following solutions offered by implant posts and dental implant restorations that attach to them:
To remain stable and function as an effective tooth replacement, the implant must have sufficient bone tissue to support it. Significant bone loss may render some patients unlikely candidates for receiving teeth implants. In such cases, Dr. Jamharian may recommend bone grafting procedures to increase bone volume and prepare the site(s) for implant placement. Once the grafted bone tissue has integrated successfully with the existing bone, the process for placing the dental implant can begin.
