Dr. Nate Farley is a board-certified prosthodontist with a passion for all things digital, especially full arch. He completed both dental school and his prosthodontic residency at The Ohio State University. While in residency, he created whatimplantisthat.com, a free online resource for radiographic implant identification — a project that grew into Infodontics, LLC, a company committed to putting dental information right at people's fingertips through innovative, useful, and free online resources. His residency also included a master's thesis comparing the accuracy of CAD/CAM surgical guides to traditional guides, reflecting a long-standing interest in guided implant placement using everything from simple to stackable surgical guides.
Today, Dr. Farley and his business partner operate Revive Dental Implant Center in Mesa, AZ, specializing in complex surgical and restorative solutions including All-On-X, overdentures, dentures, and full mouth reconstructions. As early adopters and pioneers of full arch digital workflows, they grew Revive's in-house lab into Renew Full Arch, a bustling niche lab now serving full arch solutions to doctors across the country. Dr. Farley runs the lab's stackable guide department, personally plans every full arch case, and checks every guide design.
That path began well before dentistry: as an undergraduate, he learned 3D modeling and animation, a skill set that eventually intersected with his clinical work. With experience across a range of 3D modeling programs, he took to Meshmixer, Blue Sky Plan, and Exocad like a duck to water, and is thrilled to help others learn them to achieve fantastic results.
Through his online institute, digitalDDS, Dr. Farley has taught thousands of doctors, technicians, and staff digital workflows, CAD, printing, and finishing. He has lectured nationally and internationally on immediate interim hybrids, implant complications, guided implant surgery, implant identification, and digital dentistry, and is proud to serve as faculty with Clinical Mastery Series and Implant Pathway. He is married to an amazing woman and has three kids and their small dog, with whom he enjoys hiking, biking, and building Legos.
