Meet the Doctor

Dr. Joel Scalera, D.D.S, P.A.

I, Dr. Joel Scalera, along with my staff, am grateful for the opportunity to make a difference in our patient’s lives. We view Dentistry as if a
contact sport, not everyone wants to play, so we do what we can to alleviate concerns and comfort. We take time to listen and recommend
the optimal repairs and preventive measures to benefit each individual. We all participate in teaching prevention at home. Our bonus is seeing the ongoing health of our patients.
We have a sizable population of retired ‘senior patients’ who maintained their health in the same manner as in their middle age
years. Our patient family consists of 4 (5?) generations! It is apparent that those who keep their teeth have an attitude of commitment with regard to their dental care at home. My experience shows that losing teeth is not inevitable as age progresses. Age alone cannot be a valid excuse for neglect and disrepair.
I was born at Patrick Space Force Base, when my father was an air force dentist. He settled us in Rockledge, and started practicing in the 60’s. I attended the local schools, BCC, Univ of Fla, Emory Dental School. My wife Donna, grew up in Cocoa, was an integral part of the staff until she succumbed to stomach cancer a few years ago. I have three fantastic adult children and four grandchildren.
I am a regular One Blood donor close to 10 gallons! I am Past President of the Rotary Club of Cocoa; & Past President of Brevard County Dental Association, and held most of the offices of each.

I’ve learned from past moves to do my research when choosing a dentist, so I was diligent in choosing my dentist in Viera. My research paid off when I found Dr. Scalera. He does great work with a great staff in a friendly environment. My teeth are happy.

Dr. Scalera has a great personality and takes the care, interest and time to make sure I get the best care possible for my teeth.

Everyone makes you feel as comfortable as they can. Joel and his staff explain every procedure to you before it takes place and what to expect. There are never any surprises.

I came to Dr. Joel with a lot of problems. I was concerned about losing my teeth. He assured me that he would work with me to save my teeth. Ten years later I still have most of my teeth.

Dr. Joel is unique. After his exam, he gives you a clear explanation of what is wrong. Then during the procedure, Joel has a special way of making his patients relax. Perhaps because of the way he keeps talking to you. He has a good sense of humor and is very professional.

The staff is so friendly, and they always keep me comfortable during a visit. I never have to wait, and the level of care is exceptional.

Excellent staff and state of the art equipment.
