After graduating from the dental school in 1995, Dr. Gino DiGiannantonio completed his general practice residency at Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn, New York where he developed an interest in cosmetic dentistry. Upon returning to Cleveland (his hometown) he worked for an existing practice before establishing his own private practice more than 21 years ago. In 2015 he relocated DiGiannantonio Aesthetic Dentistry to a progressive, state-of-the-art office in Woodmere, Ohio.
Dr. DiGiannantonio completed his post-graduate education at the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies where he received extensive training in advanced aesthetics, physiologic Dentistry, and neuromuscular dentistry, and became a fellow (LVIF) in 2008. In addition, Dr. DiGiannantonio remains an active member of the International Association of Physiologic Aesthetics, having earned a fellowship (FIAPA) in 2015.
Given his specific interest in aesthetic and cosmetic dental treatment, Dr. DiGiannantonio focuses his practices on adhesive and porcelain restorations and complex full-mouth reconstruction, as well as treatment for temporal mandibular dysfunction. He is frequently invited to lecture and train other dentists at various venues, including private and group practices and has presented at Case Western Reserve School of Dental Medicine and Cleveland Clinic Department of Dentistry. He also provides and instructs live-patient-over-the-shoulder cosmetic cases at the Center for Exceptional Practices (Richfield, Ohio).
In January of 2020, Dr. DiGiannantonio accepted a Faculty position at Case Western Reserve School of Dental Medicine as a Clinical instructor in the Department of Comprehensive Care where he oversees and teaches third and fourth year dental students while maintaining his private practice.
“I have had the honor to train with the very best in our profession—I appreciate the opportunity to use this knowledge not only for the benefit of my patients, but to share it with the next generation of dentists.”
