Dr. V. Brian Gagliardi

In 1993, Dr. V. Brian Gagliardi earned his Doctorate of Dental Medicine (DMD) from Case Western Reserve University where he also completed a post-graduate program in aesthetic dentistry and advanced implant techniques.While attending dental school, Dr. Gagliardi fulfilled an oral medicine externship at the world-renowned Cleveland Clinic Foundation. After graduating dental school, Dr. Gagliardi was then accepted into the Cleveland Clinic’s general practice residency program, where he was just one of two residents nationwide accepted into the program.  The Cleveland Clinic has been rated one of the nation’s top three hospitals for 12 consecutive years.  Upon completing his residency, Dr. Gagliardi went into private practice in Cleveland, OH, and then Boston, MA.

Originally from the Buffalo area, Dr. Gagliardi’s parents had always maintained a summer residence in Canandaigua and visited it frequently throughout his childhood. Fond memories of the Canandaigua area and its picturesque beauty inspired Brian and Jo Anna to return. Rather than move back to Buffalo, in 1995 Brian and Jo Anna made Canandaigua their home and the place to raise their two children, Paige and Chase.

In his spare time, Dr. Gagliardi enjoys spending time with his family and serving the community. He volunteers at Canandaigua Elementary educating school-age children about the benefits of good oral health and is a member of Rotary International. Dr. Gagliardi and his family enjoy traveling—especially to Disney World. They are self-described “Disney fanatics.”

In addition, Dr. Gagliardi was on the faculty in the Department of General Dentistry at the University of Rochester’s Eastman Dental Center for five years where he taught dentists in residency “how to be better dentists.” A member of the American Dental Association, New York State Dental Association, the Seventh District Dental Society and the Ontario County Dental Society, Dr. Gagliardi is a nationally published author and has won multiple awards and recognition from his peers for his work.

Patients describe Dr. Gagliardi as a compassionate, caring, professional and knowledgeable dentist who is committed to presenting his patients with a lifetime strategy for good oral health and helping patients make good dental health decisions. Dedicated to providing the highest standard of care, Dr. Gagliardi is trained in the latest dental procedures and utilizes the most current technology. He is happy to spend time with each patient to answer questions and discuss treatment options.
