General Dentist in Appleton

appleton man and woman smilingAt Fox Valley Dental Center, Dr. Katie Hareid and her team provide everything from routine cleanings to complete smile transformations — all in one welcoming office on Evergreen Drive. We take the time to get to know you, explain your options clearly, and make sure every visit feels comfortable. Whether you're coming in for a checkup or ready to finally address something that's been bothering you, we're here.

Why Consistent Preventive Care Is So Important

Your mouth and your overall health are more connected than most people realize. Research links gum disease to heart disease, diabetes, and other systemic conditions — which means your twice-yearly cleaning isn't just about your teeth. It's an investment in your whole body.

When Dr. Hareid catches a small cavity or early gum inflammation at a routine visit, a quick, affordable fix is all you need. Skip that visit, and what was a simple filling can become a root canal or crown. Preventive care is the single best way to keep dental costs low and your smile healthy long-term.

Restorative Services When You Need Them Most

When a tooth needs more than a cleaning — whether it's a cavity, a crack, or a missing tooth — Dr. Hareid has the training and technology to restore it to full function and natural appearance. You won't need to be referred out for most procedures; we handle it all right here.

Some of the restorative services you'll find at Fox Valley Dental Center are:

Whether you need to repair a small filling or replace an entire arch of teeth, our team can help you reach your smile goals.

Is It Time to See a Dentist? Here Are the Signs

Your mouth often gives early warning signs long before a problem becomes serious. If any of these sound familiar, it's time to schedule a visit:

Has It Been More Than Six Months Since Your Last Cleaning?

A professional cleaning removes what brushing and flossing can't, and gives Dr. Hareid a chance to catch small problems before they grow.

Are You Noticing Tooth Sensitivity?

Discomfort with hot, cold, or sweet foods can point to enamel wear, a cavity, or gum recession — all very treatable when caught early.

Do Your Gums Bleed When You Brush or Floss?

Bleeding gums are usually the first sign of gum disease, and caught early, it's very manageable.

Do You Have a Chip, Crack, or Tooth That's Been Bothering You?

A damaged tooth won't heal on its own, and waiting typically means more extensive treatment later.

Have You Recently Moved to the Appleton Area?

Establishing care before something goes wrong is always the right move.

Has Cost or Anxiety Kept You Away?

We've helped a lot of patients get back on track — between our membership plan, CareCredit financing, and nitrous oxide sedation, there are real solutions here.

Digital X-Rays at appleton dental office

Digital X-Rays

We can now safely and effectively capture digital x-rays that provide clear internal images that are readily available for our dentist to diagnose treatment needs, review with patients, and provide quick treatment recommendations. 

Digital x-rays increase safety for patients because they emit less radiation than film x-rays, and our environment because we don't need chemicals to develop them.

Nitrous Oxide Sedation

Have you ever felt anxious or fearful about visiting the dentist? Maybe the fear even kept you from getting the treatment you needed. 

At Fox Valley Dental Center, we understand that visiting the dentist isn't necessarily comfortable for everyone, and that's why we offer dental sedation in Appleton with nitrous oxide. This breathable gas "takes the edge off" during dental appointments, helps you feel relaxed and at ease, and allows you to get the dental treatment you need without worry, fear, or stress.

Best of all, since there are no lingering side effects, you can drive after treatment with nitrous oxide and continue your normal activities.

Intraoral Camera

They say, "A picture is worth a thousand words," and that's true when diagnosing dental treatment! The intraoral camera provides a view of your teeth inside your mouth, delivering full-color pictures that allow you to see precisely what your Appleton dentist sees.

Color pictures are effective in helping you understand your treatment needs and make educated decisions about the procedures that are best for your smile.
