A dedicated dentist, Dr. Serratelli Jr. is the fourth owner of Bayonne Smile Center, a legacy practice that has cared for the families of Bayonne, New Jersey for over 30 years.

Originally from Northern New Jersey, his personal connection to dentistry stems from a childhood incident when he lost his front tooth on the football field. His dentist not only restored his smile but also instilled in him the profound impact a smile can have on one’s self-esteem. This experience ignited his desire to make people feel great about themselves through exceptional dental care. 

Driven by empathy, Dr. Serratelli Jr. actively listens to his patients’ wants and concerns, educates them about their oral health, and collaboratively determines the best treatment options. He strives to build enduring relationships with his patients, and is passionate about helping individuals understand the vital role the oral cavity plays in their overall health.

Recognizing the dynamic nature of dentistry, Dr. Serratelli Jr. is a firm advocate of continuing education. He is a distinguished member of the Academy of Comprehensive Dental Studies, the oldest dental study club in America. He is also affiliated with prominent organizations such as the American Dental Association, Spear Continuing Education, the Academy of General Dentistry, the New Jersey Dental Association, and regularly attends Pikes Peak Study Club courses in Colorado.

Dentistry, also known as Dental and Oral Medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity. Dentists diagnose and treat dental issues and help patients develop better oral hygiene regimens. They clean teeth, correct bite issues, perform surgeries and extractions, and perform other duties to ensure that the teeth and mouth are healthy.
