Dr. Dag Zapatero, DDS
Doctor
A graduate of the University of North Carolina School of Dentistry, Dr. Zapatero has dedicated over 30-plus years to advancing the art and science of dentistry. He has been consistently recognized as one of "America's Top Dentists" and honored twice by the Journal of Dental Technology as a leader in the profession.
Dr. Zapatero stands among an elite group of general dentists with rare distinctions, including:
- Fellowship and Mastership from the Academy of General Dentistry
- Two Lifelong Learning and Service Recognition (LLSR) Awards—one of the highest honors in continuing education (very few dentists earn even one)
- Visiting faculty and one of only 60 international Pankey Scholars at the L.D. Pankey Institute
- Adjunct faculty member at the UNC School of Dentistry
- At-large member of the Virginia Dental Association's Legislative Committee
He is especially proud of his selection as a Fellow in the prestigious American College of Dentists, an honor limited to just 3.5% of dentists nationwide.
With this depth of expertise, Dr. Zapatero brings a thoughtful, no-lecture approach to every patient—prioritizing lasting results, genuine relationships, and your comfort above all.
