Sergio Vendetti, MD, DMD Virginia Beach, VA
Sergio Vendetti has been in practice for 20 years in Virginia Beach. He founded Virginia Surgical Arts and Dental Implant Center in 2006 which is a state-of-the-art ambulatory surgical center.
Along with having both a dental and medical degree, he completed post graduate residency and fellowship training in oral maxillofacial surgery and cosmetic surgery.
He remains an active member of many professional organizations and is an assistant professor at the Medical College of Virginia Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. He has trained surgical residents in both dental implant surgery and facial cosmetic surgery.
Aside from all his training and expertise, his greatest strength lies with the genuine care that he has for his patients. His commitment has always been to ensure that patients receive the best personalized care. He believes that in today's world with customer service, the human connection is so often lost between individuals and the value of building relationships has diminished. He projects these principles to his team, who truly enjoy working together to provide the best care possible and make patients feel so comfortable. Some staff members have even been part of his team for up to 20 years.
Beyond his passion for treating patients and leading a second-to-none oral surgery practice, he is deeply grounded in his faith in Christ, finds joy in his family, and takes pride in his love for his country. In his free time, he enjoys writing and recording music, sailing, gardening, and cooking.
