Appleton Dental Implants

Tooth loss can frustrate you and impact your life in several ways.

First, you might feel self-conscious about smiling, talking, or laughing because of gaps between your teeth, which takes a toll on your confidence and your interaction with others.

Next, chewing and eating become challenging and sometimes painful with one or more missing teeth. This causes changes to your diet and impacts your nutrition. 

Finally, there are significant effects that tooth loss has on your dental health that you may not even realize. The bone loss that accompanies tooth loss can impact support for your healthy teeth and may even change your facial structure and appearance. Without tooth replacement, you may also experience tooth movement and shifting, resulting in bite misalignment.

At Fox Valley Dental Center, we’re excited to offer dental implants in Appleton because they are the closest option to a natural tooth, making them a healthy and worry-free tooth replacement option. 

Dental implants use three components to replace your tooth:

• The implant—Placed into your jawbone where biocompatible titanium naturally integrates with your bone, taking the place of your root
• The abutment—Attaches the implant to its restoration after completing the healing process
• The restoration—A porcelain crown restores a single tooth, while a few implants can support a bridge or denture, replacing multiple teeth

Dr. Hareid works closely with a trusted local specialist for dental implant placement and oversees the process from start to finish, designing the custom restoration right for your needs.

If you want to learn more about dental implants and tooth replacement, the first step is to book an evaluation with Dr. Hareid. She can determine if you have enough healthy bone to support an implant and discuss the process and procedures. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of precisely what’s involved with your personalized treatment plan, including timeframes for finishing and the cost.
