Dental Implants Near Ashville Park, Virginia Beach VA
If you live in Ashville Park and you’ve been putting off a missing tooth, a failing bridge, or wisdom teeth that keep flaring up, you don’t have to drive across the Chesapeake Bay to find surgical-level care.
Virginia Surgical Arts & Dental Implant Center is a state-of-the-art ambulatory surgical center right here in Virginia Beach, and Dr. Sergio Vendetti has been restoring smiles in this community for more than 20 years.
Not every provider placing implants is a trained surgeon.
Dr. Vendetti holds both a dental and a medical degree, completed post-graduate residency and fellowship training in oral and maxillofacial surgery and cosmetic surgery, and serves as an assistant professor at the Medical College of Virginia’s Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery — where he has trained surgical residents in implant and facial cosmetic surgery.
He founded Virginia Surgical Arts in 2006.
For Ashville Park families off Sandbridge Road and Princess Anne Road, that means a short local drive to a surgeon who teaches the procedure you’re about to have.
What Dental Implants Actually Do
A dental implant is a titanium post placed into the jawbone that acts as an artificial tooth root. Once it fuses with the bone, it supports a crown, bridge, or denture that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth.
The advantages over removable options are practical ones you’ll notice daily:
- Eat what you want. Implants transmit bite force through bone, so steak and corn on the cob stop being a negotiation.
- Protect your face. Missing tooth roots let the jawbone atrophy, which collapses facial contours over time. Implants preserve bone and the shape of your face.
- Long-term value. Well-maintained implants are designed to last decades, not years.
Guided Implant Surgery and Teeth in a Day
Virginia Surgical Arts uses 3D imaging and digital treatment planning to map implant position before the procedure begins.
Guided surgery improves placement accuracy, reduces surgical time, and typically supports a more comfortable recovery — and in many cases allows a full arch to be restored in a single visit.
When Bone Grafting Comes First
If a tooth has been gone for a while, the jawbone in that area has likely shrunk. Bone grafting rebuilds that foundation so an implant of proper length and width can be placed — restoring both function and appearance.
It’s a routine step, and Dr. Vendetti will tell you at your consultation whether you need it.
Wisdom Teeth, Sedation, and More
Not every third molar needs to go.
When they come in impacted — sideways, partially erupted, or trapped under bone — wisdom teeth removal prevents infection, crowding, and damage to neighboring teeth.
Dental anxiety is real, and it keeps people from getting the care they need.
We offer sedation options so your procedure is something you rest through rather than endure.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do dental implants last?
With good hygiene and regular checkups, implants are designed to last decades — often a lifetime.
Is implant surgery painful?
Most patients report far less discomfort than expected. Sedation and local anesthesia keep you comfortable during the procedure, and Dr. Vendetti will review your recovery plan in advance.
Am I a candidate if I’ve lost bone?
Usually yes. Bone grafting can rebuild the site so an implant can be placed successfully.
