Why Choose Dental Implants?

Dental implants offer more than just a cosmetic fix. They improve oral function, preserve jawbone health, and protect surrounding teeth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants fuse directly to your bone, creating a stable foundation that lasts for years.

Here’s what implants can do for you:

  • Replace one or multiple missing teeth without affecting nearby teeth
  • Restore your natural bite and chewing power
  • Prevent bone loss and maintain facial structure
  • Boost your confidence with a natural, seamless smile
  • Provide a long-lasting, low-maintenance solution

What to Expect With Dental Implants in Ingram

Dr. Mitchell keeps the implant process clear and straightforward. She works with you to ensure every phase runs smoothly and comfortably. The timeline varies per patient, but typically includes:

Consultation and Planning
The dentist evaluates your oral health, bone density, and medical history. She discusses options, answers questions, and maps out the best approach for your smile.

Implant Placement
During a minor surgical procedure, the doctor places titanium posts into your jawbone. She ensures precise positioning for optimal healing and strength. The dentist offers sedation options tailored to your needs to keep you comfortable and relaxed throughout the procedure.

Healing and Osseointegration
Over several months, the implant fuses with your bone. During this time, you’ll wear a temporary restoration if needed.

Abutment and Crown Placement
Once healed, the dentist attaches an abutment and a custom-made crown. The new tooth matches your natural teeth’s color, shape, and function.

Caring for Your Dental Implants

Once your implant is in place, the dentist emphasizes daily care and routine visits to keep your smile healthy. Implants do not decay like natural teeth, but gum health remains essential.

Follow these simple tips:

  • Brush twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush. 
  • Floss carefully around implants to remove plaque. 
  • Use antimicrobial mouthwash as recommended.
  • Attend regular dental cleanings and checkups.
  • Avoid habits that stress implants, such as chewing ice or grinding teeth.

What really stands out about this practice is the financial transparency and billing. I overheard the dental team working diligently to make sure everything was covered for their patients. They do their best to ensure equitable and affordable access and that’s a rare gem in today’s day and age. Highly recommend!

Exceptional care and attention to detail. While this is only the temporary crown I am very pleased with how the procedure went. Barely 24 hours later and it feels as if it is one of my own teeth. There was zero pain during the procedure as well as now which is barely 24 hours later with no need to even consider taking any form of pain relief. So impressed with Dr. Mitchell and her staff!
