Education
Abtin Etezadi, DMD, is enthusiastic about living in Sioux Falls. Building a strong community and giving back is a priority to him and his family. He was a resident of Roswell, Georgia for 35 years. After graduating from Lassiter High school, Dr. Etezadi attended Reinhardt College graduating Magna Cum Laude, with a degree in Biology. He then matriculated into the School of Dentistry at the Medical College of Georgia where he graduated with honors.
Dr. Etezadi received several awards and distinctions during his dental school education, all of which culminated in his election into Omicron Kappa Upsilon national honor society. After completing dental school, he was selected from a large pool of candidates to remain at the Medical College of Georgia for his oral and maxillofacial surgery residency.
As the sole resident in his residency class, Dr. Etezadi was responsible for running an extremely busy clinic and was intensely trained in all aspects of oral and maxillofacial surgery. He was based in several of the surrounding hospitals and off-campus facilities, including the MCG Health Medical Center, Augusta’s main Level I trauma center for a tri-state region. He also covered the Augusta Veterans Hospital and the Augusta Children’s Medical Center.
His pride in his career and passion for his community led to Dr. Etezadi’s involvement in several outreach programs and multiple academic courses targeted towards community practitioners and residents.
