Dental Implants
Innovative Tooth Replacement
Repair Your Smile
Although the process takes a bit longer, dental implants typically have less chances for failure in the future compared to other tooth replacement options like bridges, and dentures.
Repair Your Smile
If you’re needing to replace a tooth, dental implants are the best solution to recreate a natural-looking and functioning smile. A dental implant is an FDA-approved titanium screw that is placed in the jawbone. Although this may sound invasive, it’s actually less trauma than taking out a tooth!

How Long Does a Dental Implant Procedure Take?
While the initial surgical implant placement only takes an hour, the crown can’t be placed until 3-4 months later to allow for healing.
Am I a Candidate for Getting a Dental Implant?

What Dental Issues Can Dental Implants Resolve?
Beyond the aesthetic benefits, dental implants can address various dental issues, significantly improving your overall oral health.
- Restore Chewing Function: Missing teeth can make chewing a challenge. Dental implants restore full chewing function, so you can enjoy your meals without any frustrations.
- Enhance Speech: Gaps in your smile can affect your speech, leading to difficulties in pronunciation and communication. Dental implants provide stable support for your lips and tongue, ensuring clear speech.
- Prevent Dental Shift: Empty spaces from missing teeth can cause neighboring teeth to shift out of position. Dental implants fill these gaps, preventing misalignment and potential bite issues.
Dental Implant Treatment Options
At Z Dentistry, we offer cutting-edge dental implant treatments that can restore your smile and improve your oral health. Our dental implant solutions cover two main areas: single tooth implants and full arch implants. Let’s dive into the details!
Single Tooth Implants
Missing a single tooth can be bothersome, affecting your confidence and ability to chew comfortably. That’s where single tooth implants come to the rescue! Our skilled team will carefully place a dental implant in the space of your missing tooth. The implant serves as a sturdy foundation for a natural-looking appearance.
With single tooth implants, you can bid farewell to gaps in your smile and embrace a renewed sense of self-assurance. Our dental implants will seamlessly blend with your existing teeth, making it virtually impossible to distinguish the difference.
Full Arch Implants
We understand the challenges of missing multiple teeth, impacting not only your appearance but also your ability to chew and speak properly. Our full arch restorations provide a fixed set of teeth anchored by just a few dental implants.
The process is efficient and effective. Our experienced dentists will strategically place the implants in your jawbone, and then attach a custom-crafted set of prosthetic teeth. The result? A beautiful, functional smile that allows you to eat your favorite foods, speak clearly, and regain your confidence.
Missing Teeth?
When you schedule a consultation with our Roanoke dentist, we’ll discuss your tooth loss needs and desires for dental implants. We’ll also carefully review the procedure, what you can expect, and make sure to answer any questions and address any concerns you may have. It’s our mission to make sure you have the best possible experience before and after your implant to ensure long-term oral health.
