The path here

From the Corps to the Corps.

Dr. Hogan teaching doctors during live full-arch surgery

After a 4-year enlistment, Corporal Hogan returned to the University of Michigan for pre-medicine and anthropology/zoology — a curious path that led to dentistry and a DDS from Michigan in 2003.

His first All-on-4 procedure was accomplished during his GPR at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth in 2004. After three more years as a Navy dental officer, he joined his mentor, Truman D. Baxter Jr., focusing in dental implants and complex prosthodontics.

In 2018 he transformed his highly successful general dentistry practice into an implant-only, full-arch practice — Full Implant Choice — performing over 20 arches per month, with an in-office, full-service laboratory, Seven Cities Dental Arts, that also serves outside offices. As a solo practitioner he orchestrates every phase: management, sales, surgery, prosthetics, and maintenance.

In 2022 he founded The Atlantic Implant Institute — a center dedicated to educating doctors in full-arch treatment from fundamentals to digital workflow to the business side. Dr. Hogan is an Honored Fellow AAID, Fellow ICOI, Fellow AGD, and board-certified Diplomate ABOI. Adam and his wife Allie, the boys Hunter and Max, and dog Cooper live a simple and purposeful life in Virginia Beach.
