Dr. Elizabeth Iocca Garcia currently serves as a dentist at Iocca Family Dentistry, working alongside her father at the family practice. From a young age, Elizabeth learned the importance of maintaining health and happiness and believes strongly that dental hygiene is a crucial component to reaching that goal. Like her father, Elizabeth also sees dentistry as an ideal platform to serve and support the community she loves, and she could not be more grateful for the opportunity to provide Michigan patients with excellent dental care, which is an important keystone in keeping the body healthy. Regardless of the type of care her patients may need, Elizabeth loves being the dentist people come to for help in mapping out a road to exceptional oral health.
Since 1974, the Ioccas have served as trusted partners in Michigan, and Elizabeth is both honored and excited to continue her familys legacy. She completes extra hours of continuing education each year, most recently focusing on implants along with botox and dermal fillers. Prior to COVID restrictions, each August, she led a group of dental students from the University of Detroit Mercy on a dental mission trip to Haiti. She loves meeting others who share her passion for dentistry during her coursework and travels and seeks to bring back and implement insights from those experiences in her own practice. Through this, Elizabeths patients receive a wide variety of care tailored to suit their needs down to the smallest detail.
Elizabeth earned her D.D.S. at the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry and completed her general practice residency at the University of Louisville School of Dentistry. She also holds a masters and bachelors degree from Central Michigan University.
Elizabeth and her husband Gustavo currently reside in Jackson with their son Marco (with one on the way!). When shes not spending time with patients, Elizabeth loves reading (Harry Potterfor life!), traveling, golfing with her family, and continuing her dental education.
