ABOUT DR. HOAR
Dr. Hoar was born in coastal North Carolina, but grew up in Oxford, Mississippi and graduated from Ole Miss. After undergraduate school, he attended and graduated with honors from the University of Alabama Dental School. Subsequently, he completed a rotating internship at Ireland Army Hospital and two additional years in the Army Dental Corps. Since then, he has been in private practice.
His first experience with dental implants occurred in 1963 when he participated in an early study for the army. However, because of the incomplete science which surrounded dental implants at that time, he chose not to incorporate them into his practice and concentrated instead, on cosmetic and restorative dentistry. In 1985, after acceptable techniques and predictability had been published in the scientific community, he sought out Dr. Carl Misch of Dearborn, Michigan and enrolled in the very first year of the Misch Implant Institute. Since that time Dr. Misch has become recognized as the world leader and author of the standard textbooks on dental implants. Since 1987 Dr. Hoar has served on the staff at the Institute.
In the years following 1987 he obtained diplomate status in the International Congress of Oral Implantology and later was awarded Board Certification from the American Board of Oral Implantology/Implant Dentistry.
He is married, and he and Joyce have three adult children, Lee Ellen, John, and Leslie. Additional professional and leadership activities have included:
Aside from being a member of the Misch Institute staff at the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Detroit Dental Schools, he has participated as an implant clinical surgical site for the BioHorizons dental implant system and is co-author of that study as well as author of earlier articles concerning the anthropology of Southeastern Indian cultures. |
