Graham N.

"I had a great experience getting a filling here. What really sets this office apart is how thorough and transparent they are. They don’t just tell you that you need work done — they actually walk you through your X-rays, show you clear photos of the area, and explain why the procedure is necessary in a way that’s easy to understand. If you’re someone who wants a dentist who takes the time to educate you, show you proof, and make you feel confident in your treatment plan, this is the place to go. Professional, transparent, and genuinely caring. Highly recommend!"

"Hoggard is one of the best dentistry in the Wilmington area. Both of my parents went here for some time and recommended me go once I moved to Wilmington. Best decision. Ms Mary Anne was so kind and very thorough with my cleaning and examinations. I had an issue with my overbite and instead of the run around, they were honest and knew they could try but for best results referred me to a specific specialist in the area. I recommend this place to anyone in need of a well respected and honest dentistry team."

"As a snowbird I did not have a dentist here. My brother suggested I try Dr. Hoggard. I had a cracked front tooth and my tooth was fixed in my initial visit. I was more than satisfied with the care I received at this office. Both doctor and staff were great! I will use them for any further issues during my time in NC Thank to Dr John Hoggard and staff! My second visit to Hoggard family dental was once again fantastic! This time I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Caroline Hoggard. I must say she was amazing, kind and caring! The staff is pleasant, quick to accommodate my needs. They will be the practice I use when I am in NC for the winter!"

"Truly love this dentist office. The front desk staff is amazingly great. My hygienist Kelly is the best I’ve ever had. And Dr. Hoggard is simply amazing and a great guy. I hope your bicep heals up soon! It’s always a top-notch experience every time I go"

"So far so good! I have seen both Dentists there and I really like them both. Thorough, friendly, gentle, and very professional. In fact, the whole staff has been super accommodating and wonderful to deal with. I love the method they use for teeth cleaning as well, it's Nordic, I can't remember what it's called, but my teeth felt great afterwards. 😺 Highly recommend Hoggard Family Dentistry!"

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. Caroline Hoggard is delighted to join her husband at Hoggard Family Dentistry. A native of North Carolina, she was raised in Hickory and is proud to call Wilmington her new home. As a dedicated dental provider in Wilmington, NC, she is committed to delivering exceptional care alongside Dr. John Hoggard.

Following dental school, Dr. Caroline completed a one-year residency program to advance her training and skills for treating complex dental cases. This extra year of education is a testament to her dedication to providing the best dental care.

She also strives to create the most comfortable and relaxing environment possible for her patients, and like Dr. John Hoggard, she’s committed to providing top-quality dentistry. Her goal is to treat patients like family, and she’s thrilled to carry on the legacy of Dr. Kenny and Dr. Vicki Morris who cared so well for the community over the last 30 years.

In her spare time, you can find Dr. Caroline at the beach or spending time with her friends and family, including daughter Kennedy, and rescue cat Coco.
