Dr. Gioia was really good at Math and Science in high school, so he decided to pursue a career in engineering. But he quickly realized it wasnt a good fit for him. He grew discouraged and thought about taking a break from college and joining the Marines.
Then a visit with Dr. Ralph Koener, his family dentist, changed the course of his life. When Dr. Koener asked Dr. Gioia how school was going, he told him about his struggles. Dr. Koener suggested a career in dentistry.
Dr. Gioia had never thought about dentistry as a profession before, but it sounded intriguing. Dr. Koener introduced him to Dr. Don Chiapetti, who mentored Dr. Gioia as he explored this interesting occupation.
Dr. Gioia soon developed a deep passion for dentistry, a field that allows him to use his technical skills to improve peoples lives. Dr. Gioia credits his success to these two dentists who took the time to mentor him.
For Dr. Gioia, education is the key to expanding his skills so he can give our patients the best possible care. To this effect, he pursues advanced training with leading dentists at some of the premier learning institutions in the country.
Dr. Gioia has also participated in extended dental residencies at the University of San Diego Hospital and the University of Washington Dental School in addition to completing a year-long dental implants training program at the prestigious Misch International Implant Institute.
Dr. Gioia is grateful to the local community in Phoenix for everything hes accomplished, and he enjoys giving back when he can. Hes been volunteering at St. Josephs Mercy Care Dental Clinic for several years and he contributes his time to the following professional organizations:

There are a number of things happening in your smile that cant be detected with the naked eye. Microscope enhanced dentistry allows Dr. Gioia to take a much closer look at your teeth when providing endodontic, periodontic, and other restorative services.
Using a microscope allows Dr. Gioia to zoom in on the patients teeth, gums, and other oral structures. Dr. Gioia also uses microscope-enhanced dentistry while performing intricate procedures such as root canal therapy. This will speed up your recovery time and make the process much more pleasant for you.
Patients who take good care of their teeth, eat a balanced diet full of essential vitamins and minerals, and drink fluoridated water tend to have healthy teeth with strong enamel. However, sometimes this makes it difficult for dentists to detect cavities as theyre beginning to form.
An intraoral camera looks like an oversized pen, but its actually a tiny camera used to create highly accurate pictures of your smile. This noninvasive technology generates a stunningly clear view of your teeth that we can pull up on a computer screen and share with our patients.
Our advanced digital imaging technology allows Dr. Gioia to streamline the dental implant process. For example, instead of taking messy physical impressions of a patients teeth, we simply use our digital imaging equipment. In addition to being more convenient for you, its also a lot more accurate than using an old-fashioned physical model of your mouth.
For patients who are interested in treatments designed to enhance your smile such as dental implants, Invisalign, or veneers, we can use our imaging technology to show you how your new smile will look on you before your treatment even begins.
