Dr. John Hoggard

Dr. John Hoggard grew up in Greenville, NC, and is thrilled to live in Wilmington to be closer to his family and the beach. He’s married to Dr. Caroline Hoggard, his dental school sweetheart. Together, they are dedicated dental providers in Wilmington, NC, sharing the same practice philosophy of providing the highest quality dental care in a caring, supportive, and comfortable family atmosphere.

Our dentist is also passionate about treating complex cases and finds it extremely fulfilling to see the transformation of a patient’s smile and the huge impact on their life and well-being. His many hours of continuing education are a testament to his dedication of providing the most up-to-date, advanced, and individualized care for every patient.

Dr. Hoggard has completed numerous programs in advanced dental training. Annually, he attends a week-long training at the world-famous Kois Center. He’s also a fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists and has completed courses on occlusion, treatment planning, cosmetic dentistry, dentures, endodontics, oral surgery, and implants.

When away from the office, you can find Dr. Hoggard enjoying time with his wife and daughter Kennedy, engaging in many outdoor activities. He shares a love of all things fishing, hunting, surfing, kiteboarding, and boating.

However, since March 2023 the newest member of the Hoggard family, baby Audrey, has taken his attention and heart. A perfect family of four!

Dr Hoggard

“I believe in developing lifelong, trusting relationships with our patients. I believe dentistry should be more than getting a cleaning or a filling – it should be an educational, wellness-based experience so you can maintain your beautiful smile for a lifetime.”
