Christopher J. Manduzzi, D.D.S.
Dr. Manduzzi loves being a dentist! His goal is to provide first-class, comprehensive, affordable dental care in a comfortable and relaxed setting. Dr. Manduzzi is extremely passionate about his work and takes great pride in improving his patients’ smiles, oral health, and quality of life. He enjoys getting to know his patients and prides himself on the family atmosphere of his practice.
Dr. Manduzzi is a native of the Detroit area and received his Doctorate of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry. He also holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology from Oakland University.
Dr. Manduzzi is passionate about learning and routinely attends conferences and seminars all over the country to keep up-to-date with all the newest technological advances in dentistry, as well as the “latest and greatest” techniques available for dental procedures. He has taken an extensive array of continuing education courses, focusing on everything from advanced bone grafting and dental implants to cosmetic dentistry to updates on oral cancers and other forms of oral pathology, among countless other topics.
One of his main areas of study in continuing education is Implant Dentistry. After completing literally hundreds of hours of continuing education in implant dentistry and many successful dental implant cases, Dr. Manduzzi received a Fellowship from the prestigious International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI), an organization that includes some of the most distinguished implant dentists in the world.
Dr. Manduzzi has also successfully completed a continuum in Advanced Restorative Dentistry with the world-renowned Dr. Gordon J. Christensen at Practical Clinical Courses, in Provo, Utah. As a result of his exceptional performance in these courses, Dr. Manduzzi was humbled and honored to be invited back to Dr. Christensen’s educational facility to serve as a member of the guest faculty to teach fellow dentists pursuing advanced training in restorative dentistry. This recognition highlights his expertise and dedication to the field, allowing him to share practical insights gained from years of clinical experience. He graciously accepted this volunteer role to “pay it forward,” helping educate clinicians nationwide, elevate their skills in patient care, and ultimately improve outcomes for dental patients across the country.
Dr. Manduzzi has also completed many additional high-level courses in advanced cosmetic, restorative, and implant dentistry with various organizations, including the aforementioned ICOI, the Bioclear Learning Center, the Versah Osseodensification Academy, the International Academy of Mini Dental Implants, Russo Seminars, Implant Direct, AIC Education, Ascend Dental Academy, and Arrowhead Dental Laboratory.
In 2025, Dr. Manduzzi underwent rigorous training with the American Academy of Facial Esthetics (AAFE), achieving a Certification from the AAFE for the use of therapeutic injectables such as Botox and dermal fillers to help treat muscular TMJ (temporomandibular joint) issues, jaw pain, and headaches – a specialized treatment that few dentists perform.
Dr. Manduzzi has been honored to be named a “Top Dentist” numerous times by Hour Detroit Magazine, receiving this distinction in 2017, 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024.
Additionally, Dr. Manduzzi is very proud to have achieved a distinction amongst his colleagues in the dental field by being awarded a Fellowship in the Pierre Fauchard Academy (PFA). The PFA is a dental honor society whose Fellows are “ethical dentists who have made outstanding contributions to the art and science of dentistry or to society.“
For well over a decade, Dr. Manduzzi has also served as a Clinical Consultant for the Dental Advisor medical journal, offering his clinical insights and expertise to this renowned publication.
He is a proud member of the American Dental Association (ADA), Michigan Dental Association (MDA), Macomb Dental Society (MDS) , and Christian Medical & Dental Association (CMDA), and has served on multiple committees for both the MDA and MDS during his career.
Through his affiliation with the CMDA, Dr. Manduzzi was humbled to have served as a Missionary Dentist in Honduras in Central America, treating the underserved local population in the remote jungles of the countryside that have no access to dental care. To say that this was an eye-opening experience would be an understatement.
In 2021, after serving in numerous other capacities for the MDS, Dr. Manduzzi was honored to be named the President of the Macomb Dental Society by a vote of his peers, representing more than 450 fellow dentists in Macomb County.
Dr. Manduzzi grew up in Troy, and currently resides in Shelby Township with his wife Jackie and their son. His favorite pastimes include spending time with his family and friends, traveling, trying new restaurants, being involved in his church community, learning (about everything!), reading, movies, attending concerts, and listening to music.
