Implant Dentistry
A dental implant may be suggested by our knowledgeable dentist as a total tooth replacement. The root and crown of your tooth are both restored by implants, helping to maintain the supporting bone structure, restoring your smile, and regaining your ability to chew and speak without difficulty. Call Wausau Smiles at 715-842-3933 right away to set up your appointment with Dr. Aaron Bushong and discover how implants in Wausau, Wisconsin, can enhance your quality of life.
Implants can be used to replace one lost tooth, numerous missing teeth, or all of the teeth. They are a permanent, durable alternative to dentures. The titanium implant post, which resembles a screw, is surgically implanted into the jawbone where the missing tooth formerly was. This restores the missing tooth root and guarantees the stability of your dental restoration.
It then frequently takes a healing period for the bone to start fusing with the biocompatible post. The implant restoration, or replacement tooth, which fits on top of the implant post, will then be inserted by our dentist after this healing phase. Your implant replacement could be a dental crown, dental bridge, complete denture, or partial denture, depending on which teeth are missing and your individual dental requirements. Each implant repair is built specifically to match your smile both cosmetically and comfortably.
A missing tooth replacement can give your smile its best possible health, function, and attractiveness. The fact that an implant is made to feel, look, and operate exactly like your real teeth, and that with proper care, it can last a lifetime, makes it a fantastic alternative for repairing your smile.

All-On-4® Dental Implants
Do you avoid smiling due to missing teeth? Dr. Aaron Bushong in Wausau, Wisconsin, offers All-On-4® to patients who have most or all of their teeth missing from one or both dental arches. The All-On-4 method replaces your complete dental arch with four implants, giving you a secure, long-lasting, and realistic-looking replacement. Call Wausau Smiles at 715-842-3933 to arrange a consultation with our dentist if you’re curious to learn more about tooth replacement.
All-On-4® is a revolutionary implant procedure that completely replaces every tooth in your upper dental arch, lower dental arch, or both. This specific treatment option offers you a restoration that is not only strong and long-lasting but also one that looks natural. The All-On-4 method only requires four implants, compared to the six to eight implants typically used in conventional full-arch replacement surgeries. Additionally, as few implants are normally placed at a time during standard operations, your treatment may take up to 18 months, during which time you will have to go about your life with a partial smile. In our office, we think that patients should get the treatment they require as soon as possible so they can benefit from a healthy, complete smile.
The All-On-4 treatment stands out from traditional implant procedures and offers several benefits to our patients, including:
- Less invasive by using only four implants
- All implants are placed at once, so you only need one surgery
- Your dental restoration is attached to your implants at the time of surgery, so you do not have to leave our office without a complete smile
- Customized dentures and restorations for a natural-looking smile
- Less expensive than other treatments that require more implants
The All-On-4 procedure is suitable for a large number of people. We will assess your oral health and decide whether your mouth can accommodate implants during a consultation with our dentist. Our dentist may advise that you have any teeth in a dental arch that are still present removed before your implant treatment.
We welcome you to get in touch with our office right away to set up your All-On-4 consultation. We are eager to assist you in regaining your full grin!
Guided Implant Placement
At Mosinee Smiles, we take pride in using cutting-edge dental technology to give our patients more effective and comfortable care. Dr. Aaron Bushong may utilize a computer software program to arrange your treatment if you’re getting a dental implant. With the use of this equipment, our dentist can precisely design where your implant should be positioned for maximum comfort and longevity. Your implant has a better chance of fusing with your jawbone and lasting a lifetime as a result. Call us at 715-842-3933 right away if you’d like to know more about our guided implant implantation.
Implants are artificial dental roots that are surgically inserted into the jawbone to replace lost teeth. The implant creates a solid basis for the new tooth and guarantees that the restoration will be long-lasting and realistic by replacing the lost tooth root. To fully restore the health, aesthetics, and function of your smile, our dentist will connect a restoration such as a dental crown, dental bridge, partial denture, or complete denture to the implant post once it has been placed. You’ll be able to talk clearly, smile with assurance, and chew and eat with ease.
Each time you visit our office, our dentist and staff are committed to giving you the highest quality care and outcomes. We regularly upgrade our office using the newest methods and tools to achieve this goal. One of these cutting-edge procedures is computer-guided implant surgery, which we are happy to offer. As the name implies, this procedure uses software and computed tomography (CT) 3D imaging to help with implant placement. This makes it easier to obtain precise, ideal positioning for a sturdy, long-lasting tooth replacement.
We invite you to get in touch with us right away for additional details about computer-guided implant surgery and how we may enhance your smile using cutting-edge methods. We look forward to speaking with you soon!
Implant-Supported Dentures
Dr. Aaron Bushong is happy to offer implant-supported dentures in Mosinee, Wisconsin if you are missing most or all of the teeth in a dental arch or if your current set of dentures is not quite comfortable. The full-arch replacement of dentures is combined with the strength and stability of dental implants in this technique. In the end, you’ll be able to regain your natural ability to eat, grin, and speak while having a fully repaired smile that stays in place. Call 715-842-3933 to get in touch with Wausau Smiles and schedule your appointment with our dentist.
Our dentist might suggest implant-supported dentures if you’re seeking for a reliable, long-lasting way to replace several missing teeth. Traditional dentures and implant-retained dentures seem remarkably similar, but the latter are supported by dental implants. Denture users frequently lament how loose dentures “float” around the mouth, making it difficult for them to properly eat and speak. An affordable alternative to traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures can frequently be retrofitted onto an existing denture.
The implantation of the implants is the first stage in securing your denture with dental implants. In order to firmly hold your denture, the implants—which resemble screws—are surgically placed into the jawbone. Although the precise number of implants needed will vary on your personal requirements, the majority of instances call for 4-6 implants per denture. Your denture is affixed on top after the implants have been put in and have had enough time to recover. This offers outstanding stability for your denture. Actually, a lot of patients say that their implant-retained dentures feel and work more like their real teeth.

Surgical Implant Placement
The Wausau Smiles team is thrilled to provide our patients with a variety of implant treatments since implants are a cutting-edge way to restore missing teeth. Each implant is surgically put, and Dr. Aaron Bushong, our dentist, has the education and experience required to guarantee the success of your treatment. Call our office at 715-842-3933 if you’re interested in learning more about how we surgically place dental implants in Mosinee, Wisconsin.
An full dental arch, numerous lost teeth, or a single missing tooth can all be replaced using implants, a type of dental restoration. The post, the abutment, and the restoration are the three components that make up an implant. Where the lost tooth once was, the implant post is surgically implanted, or put, into the jawbone. The basis for your restoration is strengthened and made more durable by this post, which takes the role of the tooth’s roots. The abutment, which normally connects to the restoration, which is typically a crown, bridge, or denture, is then placed on top of the implant once it has been appropriately placed.
Our dentist will assess your mouth and supporting structures before performing the implant placement process to choose the proper location and insertion angle for the implant post. Our dentist may advise a bone graft prior to your implant procedure if your jaw bone is not strong enough to support an implant. Your jaw bone will become stronger as a result, improving your chances of having a successful implant procedure.
Our dentist will first make an incision in the gum tissue over and around the region of the missing tooth to prepare for the implant process. This will make the bone beneath visible. The next step is to create a hole in the jaw bone large enough to accommodate the implant post. Since the post is replacing the tooth’s natural roots and must offer adequate support, it is put deeply into the bone. Following implant placement, you will need to heal for a while to allow the implant post to fuse with the jaw bone. Then, in order to finish your therapy, we will connect your restoration.
We advise you to discuss dental implants with our dentist if you have one or more missing teeth. By getting in touch with our office right away, you can set up your consultation.
