What Are Dental Implants and How Do They Help?
A dental implant is the most effective and comfortable way to replace a missing tooth. The implant body serves to replace the root and holds a crown that replaces the chewing surface. In many instances if a tooth must be extracted an implant can be placed in the same appointment.
Implants help improve oral health, enhance speech, restore chewing ability, and preserve facial structure by preventing bone loss in the jaw. They also offer a permanent, natural-looking solution that boosts confidence and eliminates the discomfort associated with traditional dentures or bridges.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
Dental implants are suitable for most individuals with healthy gums and sufficient bone density to support the implant. Good candidates are those in general good health, free of conditions that could interfere with healing. If you’re missing one or more teeth, a consultation with Dr. Mitchum can determine whether dental implants are the right solution for you.
What to Expect:
Safety, Healing, and Follow-Up Care
Dental implants are a safe and effective procedure with a high success rate. At Mitchum Dental, we prioritize your safety through careful planning and advanced imaging to ensure accurate placement. The healing process typically takes several weeks to a few months, as the implant integrates with the jawbone. During this time, our team will provide guidance on proper care and dietary adjustments to promote healing.
Follow-up care is crucial for long-term success. Regular check-ups, good oral hygiene, and routine cleanings help maintain your implants and overall oral health. At Mitchum Dental, we’re with you every step of the way, ensuring your implants remain strong and functional for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the dental implant procedure like?
The process begins with a consultation and imaging to assess your oral health and create a treatment plan. The implant is surgically placed in the jawbone, followed by a healing period for osseointegration. Once healed, a custom crown or restoration is attached for a natural look and feel.
2. Are dental implants safe?
Yes, dental implants are a highly safe and effective solution for tooth replacement. Dr. Mitchum uses advanced technology and techniques to minimize risks and ensure precise placement.
3. How long do dental implants last?
With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime. Routine dental visits and excellent oral hygiene are key to their longevity.
4. Is the procedure painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and most patients report minimal discomfort. After the surgery, mild soreness can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
5. How do I care for my dental implants?
Caring for dental implants is similar to maintaining natural teeth: brush twice daily, floss regularly, and attend routine dental check-ups. Our team will provide specific care instructions tailored to your needs.
