Dental implants a can be used to secure full dentures, partial dentures, or hybrid fixed prosthetics to create the perfect smile solution just for you.

Dr. Melfi uses 3D imaging to virtually place dental implants using software and images of your teeth and jaws, then placing the subsequent abutment/crown into the same image, and then checking everything before any actual surgery is done. A computerized 3D printed surgical guide is designed in the software that fully controls the depth, angle, and location of the dental implant for maximum safety and alignment.
