Dr. Gianni Mario Pisanu

I was born in Sassari, Italy and immigrated to Vancouver in 1971. Shortly afterwards, my family moved to Sechelt, BC where I completed my elementary and high school education. My father worked as a logger and my mother was a stay-at-home mom. I entered UBC on a full tuition scholarship and completed a Bachelor of Science degree (Pharmacology and Therapeutics) followed by a Doctor of Dental Medicine degree. After working in Calgary for a year, I returned to Vancouver to purchase Granville Dental Wellness Group. I am a part-time faculty member at UBC where I am a clinical instructor at the dental school. I have always been a big advocate of advancing my skills with world class continuing education. As such, I was mentored for a decade by a dental prosthodontic specialist and have completed Kois Center continuum courses. In addition, I have taken extensive cosmetic dentistry, crown and bridge, root canal, orthodontic , Invisalign, denture and implant courses and I especially enjoy performing that work. My wife and I have been together for over 10 years. I enjoy athletics, watching NFL football and the arts. I am on the Marpole BIA and I originated the partnership with Emily Carr. I am a former BC Dental Association Board member and newspaper writer.
