Posted By: Dr. Katie Hareid

Do you have a few flawed teeth or smile imperfections that leave you wanting? Cosmetic dentistry may be the solution.

Many modern dentists offer cosmetic dentistry, but not all dentists are created equal or have the experience and skills to provide superior service.

This blog explores why Dr Hareid is the go-to dentist for patients in the area and our cosmetic dentistry options.

We’ll investigate the following:

  • The Power of a Confident Smile
  • Expertise and Vision: Dr. Hareid’s "Architect" Philosophy
  • Comprehensive Smile Services and Functional Design
  • The Patient Experience and Proof of Results
  • Next Steps: Invest in Your Confident Smile
  • Consulting Your Cosmetic Dentist in Appleton

The Power of a Confident Smile

A confident smile can set you up for personal and professional success. Consider that the first thing people notice about you is your smile. Now, imagine the confidence that comes with knowing yours is spectacular! You’ll smile, laugh, and speak with ease, which makes for a fantastic first impression.

A confident smile helps you feel more self-assured, but with the right dentist, it also means superior oral function and improved oral health.

Expertise and Vision: Dr. Hareid’s "Architect" Philosophy

Dr. Hareid believes that cosmetic dentistry is where art meets science.

Credentials and Aesthetic Training

She has a degree in microbiology and a second degree in dentistry from the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry. Since graduating, she has honed her skills and is helping her patients achieve their dream smiles.

If you’re considering cosmetic dentistry, look no further than Dr. Hareid and the team at Fox Valley Dental Center.

Commitment to Advanced Technology

We bring the latest technologies to our dental practice, including those that aid in the planning and execution of cosmetic dentistry.

We offer digital imaging, laser dentistry, including gum recontouring, and nitrous oxide for a more relaxing cosmetic treatment.

Comprehensive Smile Services and Functional Design

The Holistic Smile Makeover Journey

Whenever possible, we use the most natural and biocompatible materials to improve your smile and promote long-term results. These materials include, but are not limited to:

  • Titanium

  • Porcelain

Dr. Hareid also uses minimally- or non-invasive treatments whenever possible.

The Patient Experience and Proof of Results

When you choose us for your smile journey, we want to ensure you feel confident in your choice.

Customizing Comfort and Care

All cosmetic treatments, including smile makeovers, are customized to your specific goals. We also emphasize comfort and care throughout your cosmetic journey.

Because we use the latest technologies and powerful local anesthesia, you can count on a stress-free appointment that does not cause pain.

If you still feel uneasy, we can also discuss nitrous oxide. This is a safe and relaxing gas delivered through a nasal mask. The effects of nitrous oxide wear off immediately after your treatment so that you can drive yourself home from your appointment.

Real Results from Appleton Patients

We believe in transparency and providing potential new patients with all the information, which is why we invite testimonials and reviews.

If you’re considering Fox Valley Dental Center, we encourage you to check out our testimonials page to see what other patients are saying about Dr. Hareid and the team.

Next Steps: Invest in Your Confident Smile

Your smile journey starts with a comprehensive consultation in our dental office. At this visit, the dentist evaluates your smile and talks to you about your goals. We then present the available treatment options and explain what to expect. This is also a great time to ask questions or share your concerns with the dentist.

The next step involves planning and executing treatment to bring you to your smile goals. We are happy to work on a timeframe that fits your goals and budget, and we accept CareCredit financing.

CareCredit is a medical/dental credit card that offers various programs to qualified patients, including some no-interest or low-interest repayment plans. A team member can help you apply.

After cosmetic treatment, we provide aftercare instructions and tips to help you maintain your results.

For example, brushing, flossing, and continuing to see the dentist for regular checkups and teeth cleanings are crucial, no matter the cosmetic options you choose. You can also take steps to maintain your bright smile after teeth whitening by avoiding or limiting foods and drinks that can discolor teeth, such as coffee, tea, and brightly colored drinks or sauces.
