Implants, the Roanoke Implant Center Way

At Roanoke Dental Center, we understand the profound impact a healthy, beautiful smile can have on your confidence and overall well-being. Missing teeth can make simple activities like eating and speaking difficult, but modern dental advancements, particularly dental implants, offer a permanent solution to restore both function and aesthetics. If you’re searching for “Roanoke implants” to enhance your smile, Dr. Traci and the experienced team at Roanoke Dental Center are here to provide you with comprehensive, personalized care.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Dental implants are widely regarded as the gold standard for tooth replacement. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, dental implants provide a durable and natural-looking solution that mimics the function of your original teeth. They consist of a titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as a root for the replacement tooth, which can be a crown, bridge, or denture.

Benefits of Dental Implants:

Permanent Solution: Implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care.
Natural Appearance: The crowns attached to the implants are custom-made to match your natural teeth in color, size, and shape.
Improved Functionality: Dental implants allow you to chew and speak without the worry of slipping dentures.
Bone Preservation: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss that typically occurs after tooth loss.
Enhanced Comfort: Unlike removable dentures, implants become a part of you, eliminating discomfort and inconvenience.

The Dental Implant Process at Roanoke Dental Center

When you choose Roanoke Dental Center for your dental implants, you’re choosing a team dedicated to excellence in every step of your treatment. Here’s what you can expect during your implant journey:

1. Initial Consultation:

During your first visit, Dr. Traci will conduct a thorough examination of your oral health, including X-rays and 3D imaging, to assess your jawbone density and determine the best placement for the implants. This consultation is also an opportunity for you to discuss your goals and ask any questions about the procedure.

2. Customized Treatment Plan:

Based on the findings from your consultation, Dr. Traci will develop a personalized treatment plan. This plan will outline the number of implants you need, the type of restorations (crowns, bridges, or dentures), and the timeline for your treatment.

3. Implant Placement:

The next step is the surgical placement of the titanium implant posts into your jawbone. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation to ensure your comfort. After placement, the implants will need time to integrate with the bone, a process known as osseointegration, which typically takes a few months.

4. Abutment and Crown Placement:

Once the implants have fully integrated with the jawbone, Dr. Traci will attach an abutment to each implant. The abutment serves as a connector between the implant and the custom-made crown that will replace the visible part of your tooth. After the crowns are placed, your smile will be complete, and you’ll be able to enjoy the full benefits of your new teeth.

5. Follow-Up Care:

After your implants are in place, regular follow-up appointments are essential to ensure the longevity of your new smile. Dr. Traci and her team will provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for your implants, including proper brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits.

Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Most adults with healthy gums and sufficient jawbone density are candidates for dental implants. However, certain conditions may affect your eligibility, such as untreated gum disease, smoking, or chronic conditions like diabetes. Dr. Traci will evaluate your overall health and oral condition during your consultation to determine if implants are the right option for you.

For those who may not have enough bone density for traditional implants, Roanoke Dental Center offers advanced solutions such as bone grafting or mini implants. These alternatives expand the possibilities for patients who were previously considered unsuitable for implants.

Teeth-In-a-Day

Traditionally, dental implant treatment requires one implant per missing tooth. However, the All-on-Four system allows for the placement of a full arch of replacement teeth with fewer implants. This can be a more cost-effective and time-efficient solution for patients who are missing a full arch of teeth.

The All-on-Four implant system is designed to take advantage of the available jawbone, using the strongest and most densely packed areas to support the replacement teeth. This allows for a full arch of teeth to be supported by just four strategically placed implants, rather than the traditional six to eight implants.

The All-on-Four implant system offers many benefits over traditional implant treatments. It can be a more cost-effective solution, as fewer implants are needed to support a full arch of replacement teeth. Additionally, the treatment is typically completed in one day, allowing patients to leave the dental office with a new set of teeth.

The All-on-Four implant system is also a great option for patients who have limited jawbone density. Traditional implant treatments often require bone grafting to build up the jawbone before the implant can be placed. However, the All-on-Four system uses angled placement of the implants to maximize available bone, eliminating the need for bone grafting in most cases.

At Roanoke Implant Center, we use the latest technology and techniques to ensure that your All-on-Four implant treatment is as comfortable and successful as possible. Our team will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that meets your needs and goals.

Explore The Costs

At Roanoke Implant Center, we understand that cost is an important consideration when it comes to dental treatment. Dental implants can be a significant investment, but they also offer a long-term solution for missing teeth and can greatly improve your overall oral health and quality of life.

The cost of dental implants can vary depending on several factors, including the number of implants needed, the type of implant used, and the location of the implant center. In general, the cost of a single implant can range from $1,500 to $6,000. However, the overall cost of treatment will depend on the specific needs of the patient.

For example, if a patient needs multiple implants to support a full arch of replacement teeth, the cost will be higher than if a single implant is needed to support a single replacement tooth. Additionally, the cost of the implant itself may vary depending on the type of implant used. Some implant systems are more expensive than others.

In addition to the cost of the implant itself, there are also additional costs associated with implant treatment, such as the cost of the abutment (the connector piece that attaches the implant to the replacement tooth), the cost of the replacement tooth or bridge, and the cost of any necessary procedures, such as bone grafting.

At Roanoke Implant Center, Dr. Louis Traci, DDS will provide you with a detailed treatment plan and cost estimate before any treatment begins. We accept various forms of payment and offer financing options to help make implant treatment more affordable.
