How Verona's trusted dental implant center makes you smile.
Here in Verona we focus on dentures and dental implants to help you get your confidence, and your smile, back. Roots Dental has been run by the same family for over thirty years, and your implants are placed and
your new teeth are built by one team, in one building, on one plan. Looking for affordable dental implants?
You're in the right place.
Why Roots Dental
The same family has been fixing Verona's smiles for over thirty years.
Roots Dental was founded in Verona more than three decades ago and it is still run by the same family.
That matters when you're replacing teeth. You aren't handed off between a surgeon, a lab, and a
restorative dentist who have never met.
Dr. Hamed Salhab leads the implant and denture side of the practice. He works with people who have been
putting this off for years, people who have been quoted a number they can't touch, and people who have
been told somewhere else that implants aren't an option for them. Most of the time, they are.
We'll show you every path from a well-made traditional denture to a permanent fixed arch, tell you what
each one costs, and let you decide. No pressure. No judgment. No surprises on the bill.

"I recently had all four wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Salhab at Roots Dental, and I can't recommend the experience enough. I admit, I was nervous going in, but from the moment I walked into the clean, welcoming office, that started to fade. Recovery was fast and easy, with zero complications."

Your options
Three ways to get your teeth back.
Every one of these works. They differ in how stable they feel, how long they last, and what
they cost. Pick the one that sounds like you and we'll tell you the truth about it.
Removable
Option 1 · Most affordable
Traditional dentures
A full or partial denture, custom made to fit your mouth, that rests on your gum ridge and comes out
at night. It's the fastest and least expensive way to have a full set of teeth again, and in many
cases we can take teeth out and fit a healing denture the same day so you never leave without a smile.
Full upper, full lower, or partial dentures
Same-day immediate dentures available in most cases
Several tiers, from economy to premium natural-looking sets
Relines, repairs, and adjustments handled in-house
Best forGetting teeth back quickly on the tightest budget
We place two to four implants in your jaw, then build a denture that clicks firmly onto them. It
stays put when you eat and talk, no adhesive, but you can still take it out to clean it. For most
people this is the biggest single jump in quality of life per dollar spent.
No more adhesive, no more slipping mid-sentence
Implants help preserve the jawbone a denture alone can't
Far more bite force than a conventional lower denture
A full bridge of teeth secured onto four or more implants and screwed permanently into place. It
never comes out. You brush it like natural teeth, you bite into whatever you want, and it doesn't
cover the roof of your mouth. This is Dr. Salhab's core work, including cases other practices have
turned away.
Never removed, never soaked, never adjusted at the sink
Bite force close to natural teeth: steak, apples, corn
Extractions, 3D imaging, and a temporary arch in one plan
Bone grafting available when there isn't enough bone yet
Best forPeople who want to stop thinking about their teeth

the denture clicks onto it instead of resting on the gum. Priced per implant.
$56/month*with 24-month financing · starting at $1,344

causing pain or infection. At Roots Dental in Verona we understand the idea of an extraction can sound
intimidating, but our gentle, affordable approach makes it far easier than you expect, with sedation
available if anxiety is what's been stopping you.
Once you come in for an exam, Dr. Salhab will craft the right affordable plan for your
mouth and your budget.

The upgrade most practices can't offer
3 On 6
Six implants. Three bridges. A different kind of full arch.
An All-on-4 rests one long bridge on four implants. 3 On 6 places six implants and splits the arch into
three separate fixed bridges. The bite is carried at six points instead of four, the spans are shorter and
easier to clean under, and if one section ever needs attention we address that section rather than lifting
the entire arch. It is a distinct protocol with its own training, and only a certified doctor is permitted
to place it. Dr. Salhab is one of them.
Authorized 3 On 6 providerCertification covers the surgical placement and the restoration. Ask any practice quoting you a
full arch whether they hold it.
Left to right: how the implant count and bridge design differ between the two approaches.
Why six implants and three bridges
Every difference here comes from the same two decisions: more anchors, and an arch that
is built in sections rather than as one piece.
Six implants share the bite instead of four, so no single post carries as much
Three separate bridges mean a problem stays in one section instead of the whole arch
Shorter spans leave real space to clean underneath at the gum line
Fixed in place, brushed like natural teeth, and nothing covering the roof of your mouth
Extractions, 3D imaging and a temporary arch are part of the plan, not extras

Making it affordable
Cost should not be the reason you keep putting this off.
Most people who walk in here assume they can't afford it. Most of them are wrong, and it takes
about ten minutes to find out.
Financing that fits your month
We work with five separate lenders so that a decline from one isn't the end of the conversation. Most
applications take a few minutes, and several use a soft credit check that won't affect your score.

Dr. Salhab handles the implant and denture side of Roots Dental. He works with people who have been
avoiding the dentist out of embarrassment, people who've been quoted numbers they can't touch, and
people who've been told elsewhere that implants aren't possible for them.
He is also a certified 3 On 6 provider, which means he is
authorized to place and restore the six-implant, three-bridge full arch. It is a separate protocol with its
own training, and most practices offering full-arch work do not hold the certification for it.
He listens before he speaks, explains every step before he does it, and won't hand you a price without
walking you through exactly what it's paying for and why.

Common questions
The things people ask us before they book.
What is the most affordable way to replace my teeth in Verona?
A traditional denture is the least expensive route and can often be fitted quickly.
But "cheapest today" and "best value over ten years" aren't always the same answer. Implants cost more
up front and last far longer, and financing spreads the cost into monthly payments that many people find
easier to absorb than one large bill. Come in for the free consultation and we'll price out all three
paths so you can compare them properly.
Should I choose dentures or implants?
The real difference is how permanent it is. A denture rests on your gums and lifts
out. Snap-in implants hold a denture firmly in place but still let you remove it to clean. A fixed
full-arch bridge is screwed onto implants and never comes out at all. Bone volume, general health, and
budget all play into which one makes sense for you, and that's what your exam and 3D scan will tell us.
Can I have teeth removed and get new teeth the same day?
In many cases, yes. With immediate dentures, we can extract and fit a healing denture
in the same appointment so you don't go home without teeth. With fixed full-arch treatment, we can often
place implants and fit a temporary arch the same day, with the permanent bridge fitted once you've
healed. Whether that applies to you depends on your exam, and Dr. Salhab will tell you straight.
I was told somewhere else that I don't have enough bone for implants.
Hear it from us before you accept it. Bone grafting, angled implant placement, and
modern 3D planning have made implants possible for a lot of people who were turned down even a few years
ago. This is a large part of what Dr. Salhab does. A second opinion costs you nothing here.
Do you take my insurance?
Bring whatever plan you have and we'll work with it. We verify your benefits before
treatment starts, apply everything you're entitled to, and file the claims ourselves. Insurance and
financing can also be combined, so your coverage reduces the balance and financing handles the rest.
What if I can't pay for it all at once?
Almost nobody does. We work with Cherry, Proceed Finance, Sunbit, HFD, and CareCredit,
and our treatment coordinator will sit with you and apply. Several of these use a soft credit check that
doesn't affect your score. Having five lenders means one decline doesn't end the conversation.
I've been avoiding the dentist for years and I'm embarrassed.
You will not be lectured here. Most of the people Dr. Salhab treats have been putting
this off for a long time, and every one of them says afterward that the hardest part was making the call.
We also offer sedation if anxiety is what's been stopping you.
How long has Roots Dental been in Verona?
