Detailed Introduction
The Amalfitano Center for Dental Implants and Periodontics is a highly specialized dental clinic operating in both Cadillac and Traverse City, Michigan. The practice is led by Dr. Joseph Amalfitano, a board-certified periodontist with over 20 years of experience in advanced implant and periodontal care. The clinic is known for its expertise in complex dental implant procedures, including "Teeth in a Day," "All-on-4," and full-arch reconstruction, even for patients with severe bone loss through procedures like Zygomatic Implants.
What sets the Amalfitano Center apart is its comprehensive, all-inclusive approach. They boast an advanced on-site dental lab equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including high-precision optical scanners, 3D printers, a 5-axis milling center, and CAD/CAM software. This in-house capability allows for precise planning, custom fabrication of prosthetics, and often, the delivery of temporary teeth within 24 hours, significantly streamlining the treatment process for patients. Dr. Amalfitano is one of the few surgeons globally who handles both the surgical placement of implants and the restorative phase, ensuring complete control over the entire treatment journey and predictable outcomes.
Beyond implants, the clinic provides a wide range of periodontal services, including conservative treatment of gum disease, cosmetic procedures to enhance smiles, gum grafting, guided tissue regeneration, and laser periodontal treatments such as LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure), a minimally invasive alternative to traditional gum surgery. They also diagnose and treat oral pathology.
The Amalfitano Center emphasizes patient comfort and education, providing thorough evaluations using the latest diagnostic equipment and ensuring patients are well-informed about their treatment options. They work closely with referring general dentists but also welcome patients without referrals. Dr. Amalfitano is committed to staying current with cutting-edge treatments and technologies, continuously expanding his surgical and restorative skill set to provide the highest level of care.
