Dr. Joseph, also known as Dr. Joe, combines a deep passion for science with a love for patient-centered care. He began his academic journey at SUNY Geneseo, where he graduated with honors in biology and chemistry. This foundation led him to the University of Rochester, where he gained valuable experience in microbiology research before ultimately pursuing a career in dentistry.
Dr. Joe earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from SUNY Buffalo, followed by a post-doctoral Advanced Education in General Dentistry at the Western New York Veterans Hospital. Here, he also completed an additional year of specialized training in dental implants before moving into private practice in 2014.
For Dr. Joe, dentistry perfectly combines his love of science, hands-on precision, and connection with people. “I enjoy fine detailed work and the ability to really perfect something,” he shares.
Outside the office, Dr. Joe is a devoted fan of the Buffalo Sabres and Bills, and he keeps his competitive edge sharp by playing hockey weekly at the Lakeshore Ice Arena.

Do you have questions about your oral health? Are you interested in learning more about dentistry in general? Is it becoming a struggle to find a dentist near Hilton you can trust to care for your family’s dental needs? Vollo Dental Group is here to provide the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions. Instead of continuing to search far and wide for clarity among the mass of search results, you can review the details here and call us when you’re ready to schedule an appointment.
Questions about dentistry are normal. In fact, they’re highly encouraged, especially by our dental team at Vollo Dental Group. As dentists near North Greece, we always appreciate inquiries from our patients and aim to provide accurate, transparent, and honest answers to ensure everyone has the information they need to make the right decisions about their oral health. If you review the information below and do not see your question, please contact our office.
A same-day appointment with a dentist usually means that an emergency has occurred and requires timely care. At Vollo Dental Group, we encourage individuals to call us as soon as possible so that we can schedule a same-day appointment.
Not only does this allow our team to help you out of pain, but it also gives us a clearer understanding of the severity of the issue so that we can determine how to treat the issue so that it doesn’t worsen. If it can be addressed on the same day, we will work quickly to restore your smile; however, if treatment is more extensive, we will likely suggest that you return at another time to undergo a more complex dental procedure.
When you consider what is included in a dental checkup and cleaning, it is unlikely to come as a surprise for these visits to run anywhere between $200 and $350.
When arriving, you can expect us to take digital X-rays of your mouth, discuss the reason for your visit as well as any concerns you might have about your teeth, gums, or general oral health, and perform a comprehensive examination and cleaning.
Our dentists are expertly trained and equipped to look for signs of decay, cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer so that we can detect any problem areas early on and help you avoid more invasive forms of restorative treatment.
The only way to answer this question is to find out what you want from a dentist and dental office. Asking others for their opinion is unlikely to help you. Instead, you’ll find that considering your wants will allow you to narrow down your choices. For example:
These are all important questions to ask yourself – ones that can help you easily identify which dental offices most suit your needs.
Vollo Dental Group is pleased to be a family-focused practice that is conveniently located near Hilton. With a husband-and-wife team who bring years of experience, they make it easy to bring everyone to one location for comprehensive services that can be completed all under one roof.
If you feel you cannot afford to see a dentist, you might assume avoiding these appointments will be your best option. However, this is untrue. It doesn’t take much for your oral health to take a downward turn, so if signs of decay or gum disease are forming, it will progress quickly if it’s not caught in its early stages. This can lead to costly treatment that is designed to keep you from losing your natural teeth and bone.
At Vollo Dental Group, we want to make it easy for you and your family to access affordable solutions, which is why we’re in-network with many different dental insurance plans, and we partner with CareCredit Financing.
If you have dental insurance, use it so that you can save on preventive and restorative services. If you don’t, you can apply for a low- or no-interest plan that allows you to pay over time, similar to a credit card.
