Dental Implants Near Linkhorn Estates in Virginia Beach, VA

Why Linkhorn Estates Residents Choose Virginia Surgical Arts

Linkhorn Estates sits in the heart of the Great Neck area of Virginia Beach — an established, tree-lined neighborhood of ranch homes on half-acre lots, close to the oceanfront, the Hilltop shopping district, and First Colonial Road. 

Our surgical center at 1240 Perimeter Parkway is a short drive up First Colonial Road, so you’re never far from expert implant care.

For a procedure as important as dental implant surgery, proximity matters. It means shorter trips for your consultation, your surgery, and every follow-up appointment along the way — no crossing the tunnel or fighting oceanfront traffic. 

Beyond convenience, Linkhorn Estates patients come to us because Dr. Vendetti brings a rare combination of credentials to the table: he holds both a dental degree (DMD) and a medical degree (MD), completed fellowship training in oral maxillofacial 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 personally trained surgical residents in implant placement. 

When you choose Virginia Surgical Arts, the surgeon placing your implants is the one who teaches the next generation how to do it.

Same-Day and Guided Implant Options

Not everyone wants to wait months to see results. Virginia Surgical Arts offers advanced options that can dramatically shorten your timeline:

• Teeth-In-A-Day™ provides patients with a full set of fully functioning teeth on dental implants in a single procedure. Using computer-guided planning, Dr. Vendetti performs virtual surgery on your 3D image, a custom surgical guide is fabricated, and your final prosthesis is prepared before your surgery day — so you can leave with a new smile in far less time.
• Guided (computer-navigated) implant surgery uses 3D imaging and digital planning to place implants with exceptional accuracy. This technology removes the guesswork from finding the ideal spot in the jawbone, improves comfort, supports faster healing, and delivers more predictable, long-lasting results.

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a small, biocompatible titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Over several weeks, the implant fuses with the surrounding bone through a natural process called osseointegration, creating a stable foundation. 

A custom crown, bridge, or denture is then attached to the implant, replacing your missing teeth with restorations that look, feel, and function like the real thing.

Unlike removable dentures or traditional bridges, implants don’t slip, don’t require grinding down healthy neighboring teeth, and don’t rely on adhesives. Because the implant stimulates the jawbone the way a natural tooth root does, it also helps preserve bone and maintain your facial contours — preventing the sunken appearance that often follows long-term tooth loss.

Dental implants are widely regarded as the gold standard for tooth replacement, with long-term success rates above 95% — among the highest of any dental procedure.

Am I a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?

Most adults who are healthy enough for a minor surgical procedure are candidates for dental implants. During your consultation, Dr. Vendetti performs a series of diagnostic tests and a 3D scan of your jaw to confirm you’re a good fit.

You may be an excellent candidate if you:

• Are missing one tooth, multiple teeth, or all of your teeth
• Currently wear dentures or a bridge and want a more stable, permanent option
• Have adequate jawbone to support an implant — or are willing to have a bone graft if needed
• Maintain reasonably good oral hygiene and general health

Patients whose jawbone has thinned or softened after years of tooth loss aren’t automatically disqualified. 

Modern bone grafting techniques allow us to rebuild bone where it’s needed, which means many people who were told years ago that they “weren’t candidates” can now move forward with implants.

Comfortable, Anxiety-Free Care with Sedation

Dental anxiety is real, and it keeps far too many people from getting the care they need. At Virginia Surgical Arts, we offer sedation options to make your implant procedure calm, comfortable, and stress-free. Many of our patients tell us the hardest part of the entire process was simply deciding to begin. 

Dr. Vendetti and his team are known for taking the time to explain every detail and for treating patients with genuine compassion — so you feel informed and at ease from consultation to recovery.

What Do Dental Implants Cost — and How Can I Pay for Them?

The cost of dental implants varies from patient to patient. Your total investment depends on how many implants you need, whether a bone graft or extraction is required first, the type of restoration, and your individual anatomy. 

Because of this, the most accurate way to understand your cost is a personalized consultation and treatment plan. We believe cost should never stand between you and your health. Our administrative team is well-versed in insurance and financing and will walk you through your options during your visit.
