Rodney L Mellor, DDS in Santee has practiced general and cosmetic dentistry since 1985, operating from Suite B at 10201 Mission Gorge Road after earning his doctorate at Loma Linda University School of Dentistry. The practice's implant-restoration workflow coordinates pre-treatment alignment cases with Gechoff Orthodontics on Cuyamaca Street to position arches before fixed prosthetic placement. Services span tooth-colored composite fillings, porcelain veneers, crown-and-bridge fabrication, partial and full dentures, and screw-retained implant restorations across this location and a second office in San Diego's Ocean Beach neighborhood. Complex implant cases requiring cone-beam computed tomography route through diagnostic facilities including Sharp Rees-Stealy Santee Radiology on Cuyamaca Street for three-dimensional bone-density mapping. Implant abutments are torqued to manufacturer-specified 30–35 Ncm using calibrated torque wrenches, and zirconia or lithium-disilicate crowns achieve fracture resistance exceeding 900 MPa for posterior load-bearing restorations.
