At Foley & Le Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, we have always believed that excellent surgical care starts with excellent people. That’s why we took our time meeting with candidates before finding the right doctor to join our team.
We are proud to introduce Dr. Michael Schiappa, D.D.S., whose skill, compassion, and forward-thinking approach align perfectly with our philosophy of patient-centered care.
Engineering Meets Oral Surgery
Before becoming a surgeon, Dr. Schiappa earned his undergraduate degree in Biomedical Engineering from Bucknell University, graduating magna cum laude while also playing Division 1 lacrosse.
He went on to earn his Doctor of Dental Surgery from Columbia University College of Dental Medicine, where he graduated first in his class and received multiple awards for clinical and academic excellence.
This foundation in both engineering and dentistry allows Dr. Schiappa to approach surgery with an exceptional level of precision. He provides a full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery services, including dental implants, bone grafting, and wisdom teeth removal.
By incorporating advanced tools like virtual surgical planning, CAD/CAM, and 3D printing, Dr. Schiappa tailors each procedure to the individual—resulting in more efficient, accurate care and a better overall experience.
Innovation That Improves Outcomes
We were especially impressed by Dr. Schiappa’s dedication to advancing the field. He developed and patented a device that improves patient monitoring during oral surgery. A project that earned national design awards and was featured in the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.
He also spent time training alongside Dr. Daniel Spagnoli, an internationally recognized expert in dental implants and bone grafting. This experience deepened his expertise in complex reconstruction and advanced surgical techniques.
A Thoughtful, Personal Approach
Of course, technical excellence is just part of what makes someone a great surgeon. Dr. Schiappa brings a calm, compassionate presence to every appointment. He takes time to listen, explain, and ensure each patient feels confident and cared for.
Originally from Chicago, Dr. Schiappa now lives in Colorado with his wife and young son. When he’s not seeing patients, he’s likely enjoying a hike, visiting a local brewery, skiing, or playing guitar.
