Peter Serratelli D.D.S.

Dr. Serratelli was raised in Northern NJ. He graduated Marist College with a degree in Biomedical Science and received his Doctorate of Dental Surgery from Creighton University School of Dentistry.

 He believes strongly in continuing education so he may stay up to date on all the latest materials, techniques and technologies. He belongs to The Academy of Comprehensive Dental Studies, the longest running dental study club in  America. He’s a member of the American Dental Association, the Academy of General Dentistry, the New Jersey Dental Association and attends Pikes Peak Study Club courses in Colorado. In 2017, he attended a dental implant mini  residency at the Dental Implant Learning Center. When he is not working or spending his free time advancing his knowledge in dentistry, he enjoys golfing, skiing, exercising and attending New York Giants football games.

 When Dr. Pete had his front tooth knocked out on the football field as an adolescent, his dentist gave him the confidence to smile again. He thus learned at a young age just how important a smile can be to one’s self-esteem.

“I want to make people feel great about themselves! I listen to their wants and concerns. I educate them about what's going on in their mouths and give them the best available treatment options. They decide.”

 Dr. Serratelli is passionate about developing life long relationships with his patients and helping them to understand the integral role the oral cavity plays in their overall health.
