Dental Implants at Cambridge Family Dental: Your Comprehensive FAQ
Dental implants are a highly effective option for restoring your smile and oral function. At Cambridge Family Dental in Cambridge, Wisconsin, Dr. Angela Bauer Williams specializes in helping patients regain their confidence with dental implants. If you’re wondering what to expect during the process, how dental implants compare to other options, or whether they’re right for you, this FAQ will guide you through everything you need to know.
What Should I Expect During the Initial Consultation for Dental Implants?
Your consultation is the first step in your dental implant journey. During this visit, our team will evaluate your oral health, including your gums and jawbone, to determine if you’re a candidate for dental implants. We may take digital X-rays or 3D images to assess bone density. Based on your evaluation, we will create a personalized treatment plan and answer any questions about the procedure, timeline, and expected outcomes.
How Do Dental Implants Compare to Dentures or Bridges in Terms of Comfort and Appearance?
Dental implants offer several key benefits over dentures and bridges. Unlike dentures, which can be uncomfortable and may slip, dental implants are securely anchored in your jawbone, providing a permanent and stable solution. This means you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence. In terms of appearance, implants look and feel like natural teeth, blending seamlessly with your existing smile. Bridges, while effective, rely on neighboring teeth for support and may require modifying healthy ones. Dental implants avoid this, offering a more natural and long-lasting result.
Can Dental Implants Be Placed Immediately After Tooth Extraction?
In many cases, dental implants can be placed immediately after a tooth extraction, a procedure called “immediate implant placement.” If your jawbone is healthy and strong enough to support the implant, we can place the implant during the same visit. If your bone structure requires additional healing or bone grafting, we recommend waiting a few months before proceeding. Your dentist will assess your condition and help determine the best course of action.

Will Dental Implants Affect My Ability to Speak or Chew?
No, dental implants will not affect your ability to speak or chew. They are designed to restore the full dental function of your teeth, enabling you to eat your favorite foods and speak clearly without discomfort. Since implants are securely placed in the jawbone, they stabilize normal chewing and speech. You’ll enjoy life with your implants just as you did with your natural teeth!
Can Dental Implants Be Used for Single Tooth Replacement, or Are They Only for Multiple Teeth?
Dental implants can replace a single missing tooth or multiple teeth. If you’re missing only one tooth, a single implant with a crown will restore appearance and function. Implants can support bridges or dentures for multiple missing teeth, providing a stable and natural-looking solution. No matter how many teeth you need replaced, we’ll work with you to create a personalized treatment plan.

Dr. Angela Bauer Williams
Hello! I’m Dr. Angela Bauer, and I would like to welcome you to my dental practice in beautiful
Cambridge, Wisconsin. The most important part of my practice is taking care of my patients in a
compassionate and honorable way. I will treat you like I treat my own family and friends, with utmost
honesty and your best interests at heart at all times.
Because my practice is a locally-owned small business and not a corporation, we can focus on doing the
right thing for our patients. We only hire the best people and use the best materials for our patients
to ensure healthy, long-lasting, and beautiful treatment. My practice is designed with your comfort in
mind, from the inviting waiting room upon entry to the relaxing view with gorgeous landscaping and
wildlife from our treatment rooms. We even have blankets and headphones for your comfort.
I utilize only the most modern and proven techniques and materials in treatment. That way, my patients
get all the benefits of the best care possible. We have all the latest technologies, including digital
scanners for optimal results, digital x-rays for precision, and even intraoral cameras to take pictures
of teeth. That way, if you do need treatment, we can show you exactly why, so there is no uncertainty.
I have been in practice for over 20 years, and during that time I have strived to be the best dentist
possible for my patients. In 2017 I was honored with a Fellowship Award from the Academy of General Dentistry. Just this year, the same Academy awarded me with a Mastership, which only two percent of practicing dentists currently hold. That is my practice! I am Dr. Angela Bauer, and I invite you to come
and see why we are different.
