Dr. Marija Mitic DDS comes from a family of dentists. Dr. Mitic graduated from dental school in Serbia and worked with her mother. After relocating to the United States, she entered International Dentist program at Loma Linda University. She is a member of a prestigious dental organization.

Dental implants improve your oral health by filling in the gaps left by missing teeth. Implants are a positive addition to your smile because they:
Behave just like your natural teeth
Are highly aesthetic
Can last a lifetime with good care
Prevent bone loss in your jaw
Maintain the stability of adjacent teeth
Help to avoid gum disease and decay
Prevent facial sagging that leads to an aged look
On the surgery day the implant is placed into your jawbone. After the implant placement, the patient must wait 5-6 months for the implant to fuse (osseointegrate) with the bone. Once the implant is sturdy, you return to Healing Dentistry to have the crown placed on top.
Sometimes, your dentist will recommend bone grafting along with the placement of dental implants. This can be necessary if you don’t have an adequate amount of bone to support the implant. At Healing Dentistry we use Platelet Rich Fibrin aka PRF, from the patient’s own blood to accelerate healing. This procedure involves drawing blood, separating the PRF factors from the blood, and adding them into the surgical sites to promote accelerated healing which make the procedure easier and less painful for patients
