Meet the Dentists

Lead Dentist · Brambleton Ave
Dr. Syed Razi, DMD
★ Brambleton Ave
Dr. Syed Razi, DMD
Modern, evidence-based care with the kind of patience that makes anxious patients feel at home.
Dr. Syed Razi, DMD leads the Brambleton Ave location of Roanoke Dental Center, serving Cave Spring families with a calm, thorough chairside manner and a focus on patient comfort.
Whether you're in for a routine cleaning, a same-day crown, or a treatment plan you've been putting off for years, Dr. Razi's approach is to walk you through every step and let you set the pace. Many patients come to the practice after years of avoiding dental care, and find it's the visit that finally feels different.
The Brambleton office offers the full range of family and cosmetic dentistry, plus the kind of unhurried conversation about treatment options that quietly disappeared from a lot of modern practices.

Comprehensive implant dentistry, planned and completed with one team.
Dr. Aaron Smith leads the dental implant program at Roanoke Dental Center, serving patients at both our Electric Road and Brambleton offices.

A Virginia dentist with deep roots in the Roanoke and Smith Mountain Lake communities, Dr. Smith is known for taking time with patients, explaining options plainly, setting honest expectations, and building treatment plans around what each patient actually needs.

Founder
Dr. James Willis, DDS
★ Founder · Roanoke Dental Center
Dr. James Willis, DDS
A limited clinical schedule for select complex cosmetic cases, seen by referral.
Roanoke Dental Center carries a long history of service to this community, more than twenty years under Dr. Steven Sowers, and today under the ownership of Dr. James Willis, who transitioned the practice with Dr. Sowers doctor-to-doctor and has invested in it ever since: the team, the technology, and the standard of care Roanoke patients experience in every chair.
Dr. Willis is a Virginia dentist whose career has centered on cosmetic and restorative dentistry, porcelain veneers, smile design, and Invisalign treatment. As founder, his role at Roanoke Dental Center today is what you'd expect of a senior partner: setting the clinical standard, mentoring the doctors, and making sure the practice runs the way he'd want it run for his own family. He maintains a limited clinical schedule for select complex cosmetic cases, seen by referral from Dr. Razi or Dr. Perry.
Day to day, your care at Roanoke Dental Center is in the hands of Dr. Razi and Dr. Perry, and that's exactly how Dr. Willis built it: a practice strong enough to stand on its doctors, with a founder close enough to keep it that way.
