Transforming Smiles, Enhancing Lives: Your Source for Top-Quality & Affordable, Family-Centered Dental Care in Graham, NC
General and Routine Services
Regular dental visits are essential to make sure oral health problems – from tooth decay to oral cancer – are detected and treated in a timely manner. At our office, your oral health is our top concern. Dr. Mitchum also coordinates with specialists in the local area for additional dental procedures.
CLEAR ALIGNER THERAPY
You want a straight, beautiful smile, but the thought of metal brackets and wires feels like a step backward. Clear aligner therapy offers a discreet, comfortable way to straighten your teeth using a series of custom-made, invisible trays. Because they are removable, you can eat your favorite foods and brush normally without any hassle.
Dental Crowns
A weakened or damaged tooth doesn’t just affect your bite—it puts your entire oral health at risk. Dental crowns act as a protective, tooth-shaped “cap” that covers and restores a damaged tooth to its original size, strength, and appearance.
The Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth. Living with missing teeth can affect your confidence, your speech, and your ability to enjoy the foods you love.Dental implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement, offering a permanent solution that looks, feels, and functions just like natural teeth. By integrating directly with your jawbone, implants preserve your facial structure and prevent bone loss.
Emergency Dental Treatment
Dental emergencies are stressful and painful, and they rarely happen at a convenient time. Whether you are dealing with a severe toothache, a knocked-out tooth, or a broken restoration, our team is here to provide urgent dental care to relieve your pain and protect your smile.
Endodontic Therapy (Root Canal Treatment)
There is no need to fear a root canal—modern endodontic therapy is designed to eliminate pain, not cause it. When the soft inner pulp of your tooth becomes infected, a root canal removes the damaged tissue, sanitizes the interior, and seals it to prevent future issues, allowing you to keep your natural tooth.
Gentle Tooth Extractions
While our priority is always to save your natural teeth, sometimes an extraction is the best way to relieve severe pain or protect your surrounding teeth from infection. We utilize advanced numbing techniques and gentle protocols to ensure your procedure is smooth and stress-free.
Modern Dentures
Missing multiple teeth can make everyday activities like eating and speaking a challenge. Our modern dentures are a far cry from the heavy, unnatural restorations of the past. We design lightweight, natural-looking dentures that fit securely and comfortably, restoring your ability to live life to the fullest.
Periodontal (Gum) Therapy
Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults and is closely linked to heart health and diabetes. Periodontal therapy targets the infection below the gum line, removing bacteria and smoothing the roots to allow your gums to heal and reattach securely.
Prefessional Teeth Whitening
Over-the-counter strips can be time-consuming and often cause tooth sensitivity with lackluster results. Our professional whitening treatments offer medical-grade formulas that lift deep stains safely and quickly, giving you a noticeably brighter smile in a fraction of the time.
Routine Dental Cleanings & exams
Preventive care is the easiest way to avoid costly, complex dental issues down the road. Our routine cleanings and exams remove hardened plaque (tartar) that a toothbrush can’t reach, while allowing us to catch potential issues early before they become painful.
SMILE MAKEOVER
If you find yourself hiding your smile in photos or during conversations, a smile makeover is your path to renewed confidence. We combine the art and science of dentistry to address multiple concerns—from discoloration and gaps to chips and misalignment. Using a personalized combination of veneers, crowns, and other restorative treatments, we design the smile you’ve always wanted.
TMJ / TMD Treatment
Chronic headaches, jaw popping, and facial tension are often symptoms of TMJ disorder (temporomandibular joint dysfunction). We offer personalized TMJ treatments, including custom oral appliances, to take the pressure off your joints and alleviate painful muscle tension.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Treating a cavity shouldn’t leave a dark, metallic mark on your smile. Composite resin fillings blend perfectly with your natural tooth color. This modern approach bonds directly to the tooth, requiring less removal of healthy tooth structure while keeping your smile bright.
Veneers
If you are dealing with stubborn stains, minor chips, or uneven gaps, porcelain veneers offer a fast-track to a picture-perfect smile. These ultra-thin, custom-made porcelain shells are bonded to the front of your teeth, instantly masking imperfections while mimicking the natural light-reflecting properties of real enamel.
