Dr. Vellis did my top implants with snap-in denture and two bottom implants with Crowns seven years ago. They look and feel as good today as they did then. Seen Dr. Vellis today with a concern that I had about my bottom Dental Bridge and he recommended no treatment necessary at this time. Thankful to have an office and team of professionals that I trust and value.

The doctor is fantastic. The staff is marvelous. Finally, there’s a doctor that cares for the patient and the being of the patient not so much about the money even though we have to pay for the services but he’s the best he’s worth every penny or more very caring people I highly recommend them and I was in the field for 55 years myself. He’s young so he’s gonna be around for a long time. I highly highly recommend them. They’re at 10 and more star

Just got my permanents today and could not be happier with the results. The Dr’s and staff are awesome, truly. Easy, painless, the process was seamless and talked through thoroughly, and they delivered. Pricing is up front with no surprises. Cant say enough, it was life changing…confidence through the roof now, can smile again without hesitation, life changing and worth every penny. Cant recommend enough. If you’re hesitating, don’t.

Do not hesitate to schedule with Dr. Jimmy. After being quoted by other places for implants, he told me I can save my teeth still and am not a candidate. He is not out for the money and his staff is also amazing. Make that appointment!

Today was my first time being seen at St. Petersburg Dental Implant Center as a 3rd opinion for permanent dental implants , and to confirm they were absolutely medically necessary as previous evaluations led me to believe that was the best/only option for me. I was prepared for the financial strain this was going to put on me , but I was not prepared for what Dr. Vellis, after examining my scans said to me! He started "I am always completely honest with all my patients and treat them as if they were my own family”. He explained all the concerns I had and told me they were only “scare tactics” to get me to invest into something I did not need!! He instead referred me to see a periodontist for periodontal / conservative care! At no time was my appointment or questions to Dr. Vellis rushed, which is very rare these days. It was so comforting and brought back the trust I lack in so many doctors nowadays to find a doctor, Dr Vellis that is completely honest, caring, and will do the right thing for his patient, instead of out to put more money in his pocket! His office staff was absolutely phenomenal and I left feeling like I had made new friends, or we had already known each other! Lol! If you are looking for an HONEST doctor and QUALITY care, I HIGHLY recommend you see Dr Vellis! God Bless him and his staff for saving me from going down a path that could have led to financial struggles and unnecessary medical issues!! 🙏❤️

St. Petersburg Dental Implant Center is a dental practice at 5637 49th Street North in St. Petersburg, Florida, that focuses specifically on dental implants rather than offering them as one service among many. The practice describes its approach as treating the patient, not just their teeth, and emphasizes doing implant treatment the right way the first time. Its featured treatments include full mouth dental implants for patients missing many or all of their teeth, single dental implants to replace an individual cracked or missing tooth, and zirconia fixed bridges as another permanent option for missing teeth. The website also covers removable full and partial dentures and a comparison of fixed versus removable options to help patients weigh their choices.
Alongside implant placement, the practice provides oral surgery services including bone grafting, tooth extractions, wisdom tooth removal, treatment of failing dental implants, emergency dentistry, and sedation dentistry. The website highlights an in-house dental lab staffed by dental lab technicians, offers information on insurance and financing, and shares before and after photos and video patient stories. The practice's website also addresses common concerns such as missing teeth, bone loss, and loose dentures, and notes that consultations include imaging and a medical review to determine whether a patient is a candidate for implants. The office is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
The practice's dental implant specialist is Dr. Jimmy Vellis, who has been practicing dentistry since 2007. According to the practice's website, he earned a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from the University of Virginia and his dental doctorate from Howard University College of Dentistry. After eight years in general dentistry in Tampa, he completed a three year postgraduate residency in periodontics and dental implants at the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry, where he served as chief resident. The site states that he has placed thousands of dental implants, holds certification for administering intravenous conscious sedation, and is trained in Advanced Cardiac Life Support. He has also volunteered at Good Samaritan clinics and traveled on dental mission trips to Ghana and Bolivia.
