Dr. Josetta DeFrancisco is a self-inspired first-generation dentist. She was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, growing up in a big, Catholic Italian family. Her upbringing has shaped her values to always prioritize family, faith, fun, and, of course, food! Her passion for family and personal connections translates to her patient care, where she strives to turn new patients into lifelong friends who feel like family.
Dr. Josetta attended Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine, and after completing dental school attended the University of Missouri-Kansas City to complete her Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency program. Here, she discovered her love of cosmetic dentistry, implant placement, and Obstructive Sleep Apnea treatment. Having personally struggled with OSA and watching both her parents struggle with it, she feels called to educate and treat as many people as she can.
While in Kansas City, she met the love of her life, her fianc, Keifer. Theyve since moved back to Cleveland to be closer to family and the lake. When not in the office, Dr. Josetta loves traveling, trying new food, exercising, and spending time with her family and her dog, Rieger. She adores being an Auntie to her 2 nieces and 1 nephew and looks forward to one day starting a family of her own.

After receiving some nightmarish dental work as a child, I've had extreme anxiety about the dentist for most of my life. After 20 years without a trip to the dentist, I finally accepted that I wouldn't be able to keep my mouth healthy forever no matter how diligent I was about at-home care and started researching options. I decided to give Lifestyle Family Dentistry a chance and I'm extremely happy I did. Everything from the easy online scheduling to the inviting decor and the friendliness of Dr. DeFrancisco and her staff (shout out to Hailey) chipped away at my anxiety until I was actually comfortable by the time my actual exam started. Most importantly, there was no judgement about letting my dental care slip - only care and understanding. My initial exam and cleaning was quick and painless and Dr. DeFrancisco did an excellent job explaining everything she was doing and what she found. She worked with me on coming up with a roadmap for my dental care that addresses my current concerns and the potential issues she identified during my exam. For the first time in my adult life, I am now confident that I will soon have a pain free mouth without having to have workarounds to eating my favorite foods. If you are like me and have anxiety about getting back to the dentist, be good to yourself and schedule an appointment at Lifestyle Family Dentistry. They will make you comfortable and help get your oral health back on track.

Long Review...but really tells the story! Lifestyle Family Dentistry is a true one of a kind dentistry. Dr. Josetta and her staff not only make sure you receive the correct dental treatments for your needs and financial capability, they do it with true "comfort" care. I have been seeing Dr. Josetta for my dental care for a few years. I found her and her amazing personality at another office she was working at pre-covid. Several months later on social media I find out that she had decided to take advantage of the covid time and all of the closed offices to create and open her own office, in my town! I immediately scheduled my appointment and was amazed with her dream coming to fruition and her success during the most trying time for so many. She not only cared for my dental needs, she did it all while keeping MY best dental care and future maintenance and costs in mind. I need 2 new veneers ($$) as time and life has taken a toll on my originals. Not only did she postpone the new and expensive hardware, she guided me properly going forward to be sure the new ones would not be impacted by the current crowding in my mouth. I am now in the process of correcting the timely damage with ONLY 14 weeks of OrthoFX liners! This little addition will not only correct the crowding of my teeth, it will keep the new Veneers for years to come without being damaged with the previous existing dental issues. Something that was not addressed at my dentist office in the past. You will NEVER make a mistake choosing Lifestyle Family Dentistry. From her dental dreams to your smile reality, everyone wins!

I have been hesitating to go back to the dentist for 3+ years after going regularly for my entire life. I felt at ease from the time I walked in for my 1st cleaning and then a painless follow up for additional work that was needed. I highly recommend!

Dr Defrancisco and her staff are an amazing group! Had to have a tooth pulled, I didn't feel a thing and Dr Defrancisco made me feel so comfortable. I recommend Lifestyle Family Dentistry to anyone looking for quality, compassion, and professional service not to mention amazing payment options. The doctor is a local product trained and educated at Case Western Reserve! Support our local businesses. Go see Dr Defrancisco and her staff, you'll be a patient for life!!!! Lifestyle Family Dentistry THE best in the CLE!!!

Dr. Josetta has made me not fear or loathe going to the dentist!! Her kind, caring manner and professionalism is top notch. She takes time to know her patients and explains every procedure in detail so it is clearly understood. I would not go anywhere else. I went as far as changing my dental insurance in order to have Lifestyle as my dental care office. She is the best!
