Michael Seda, DMD, MS
Dr. Michael Seda is from the Bay Area. He attended UCLA for his undergraduate degree in Psychobiology. He then moved to Boston to attend the Harvard School of Dental Medicine for his dental education. It was here that he became interested in Periodontics. He thoroughly enjoyed the collaboration the specialty requires with fellow dentists and the long term relationships that are developed with patients. Dental implants are a passion of his as well as attention to detail with all of his treatment plans. Thus, he attended Columbia University College of Dental Medicine for three years to achieve his specialty certificate in Periodontics and a Masters of Science degree. He has been described as kind, a good listener, and patient.
