This Season, Dr. Adam Tan Accepts New Patients from Orillia, ON for Dental Implants Without a Referral
Orillia, ON (PRWEB) December 23, 2014 -- Dr. Adam Tan is pleased to announce he now accepts new patients without a referral, for dental implants at his Orillia, ON office. Dental implants are considered a more effective and permanent solution for replacing missing teeth, and are associated with many benefits including their natural look and their ease of care. Other tooth replacement options, like removable dentures, do not offer these benefits and may not be the solution for every patient.
Implants consist of three parts, a titanium implant post, an abutment, and a crown. The titanium post is placed directly into the jaw bone where it then becomes integrated into the bone itself, becoming permanent. This integration, called osseointegration can take up to six months. After the fusion of implant and bone is complete, the post is fitted with an abutment. The abutment part of an implant is the piece that rises above the gum line where the natural looking crown will be placed. The crown is precisely matched to the coloring of the patient’s teeth and is very difficult to distinguish from natural teeth. After the implant is complete, the patient simply cares for the implant just like they would a natural tooth.
Implants provide patients with an improved level of comfort and make speaking and eating much easier than with removable replacement options. Removable replacement options like dentures can affect eating and speech patterns because of how easily they can move in the mouth. This is not a seen with implants because they are placed directly into the jaw bone.
There are many benefits to dental implants over other solutions like partial dentures or bridges and they provide patients with a more permanent solution to tooth loss. Implants replace the missing tooth’s root with a titanium post placed directly into the jawbone. This allows for a strong base that does not slide around during eating like with dentures and other removable replacement options. Implants can also instantly improve self-esteem because they restore a natural looking smile without any worries of displacement while eating or speaking.
