Dr. Morelli has been serving patients in clinical practice for twenty years. After practicing for many years in Beaverton, Oregon, he sold his private office and moved to the beautiful Central Coast Valley in 2020 to start Santa Ynez Valley Dental (SYVD). Since 2010, he has been selected annually by his peers as one of America’s Top Dentists. Portland Monthly magazine also selected him as one of Portland, Oregon’s Top Dentists from 2016 until 2020, when he moved to the valley.
Dr. Morelli is highly trained and provides all types of dentistry, including same-day CAD/CAM-designed and milled crowns and bridges, fillings, complicated oral surgery with advanced bone grafting techniques, placing and restoring implants, clear aligner orthodontics, veneers and cosmetic restorations, dentures, and full-mouth implant-retained prosthetic reconstruction cases.
Dr. Morelli stays up to date with all facets of dentistry and surgery by attending continuing education courses and online forums throughout the U.S. By staying abreast of modern materials and techniques, he can offer state-of-the-art care and give patients the opportunity to receive optimal treatment—all in one office.
Dr. Morelli is an enormously blessed husband to his wife, Dara, for over twenty-six years, and the father of two beautiful girls, Avery and Lindsay. He enjoys spending free time with his family, riding bikes, riding his motorcycle, and attempting to improve his golf game.
Dr. Morelli volunteers with local outreach groups to help underserved adults and children locally and in foreign countries. He is also a member of Rotary International and the Viking Charities of Solvang.
