Although Dr. Spencer Boley has lived in many cities, he has always felt like the Cincinnati area was home. A Kentucky native, Dr. Boley attended Eastern Kentucky University on a Division I baseball scholarship. While there, he earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology.
He then went on to the University of Louisville School of Dentistry, where he received his DMD. After graduating from dental school, he decided to complete an Advanced Education in General Dentistry at the University Hospital here in Cincinnati. He quickly became engaged in the Cincinnati dental community, and he knew that he wanted to one day return to the area to practice.
However, his dream of becoming an orthodontist first led him to Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia, where he completed a three-year orthodontic residency at the Maxwell S. Fogel Department of Dental Medicine, earning his certificate in orthodontics.
Dr. Boley remained in close contact with his orthodontic colleagues in Cincinnati after his residency, particularly Dr. M. A. Faris and Dr. Michael Uhde. He spent four years practicing orthodontics in a large practice in Fayetteville, Arkansas, before purchasing Dr. Faris Cincinnati Ohio orthodontic practice in 2014.
Dr. Boley and his wife, Kate, enjoy living in the Cincinnati area, as they feel it is the perfect place to raise a family. They love spending time outdoors with their four children, daughter Addison, son Leyton, and twin boys Maddox and Hudson.
Dr. Boley is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics, which means he is in the 25% of orthodontists in the nation to be board-certified. He is also active in the American Association of Orthodontists, the Great Lakes Association of Orthodontists, the American Dental Association, the Ohio Dental Association, and the Cincinnati Dental Society.

No. All orthodontists must be licensed to practice, but at this time only 1 in 3 orthodontists have continued on to complete Board Certification.The American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) certification process signifies a unique achievementa significant step beyond the two to three years of advanced education required for a dentist to become a specialist in orthodontics. The process requires the orthodontist to demonstrate actual accomplishments in patient care with detailed case reports on the treatment provided for a broad range of patient problems.
Board certification is a voluntary achievement that all orthodontists do not choose to pursue. In order to become board certified by the ABO, an individual orthodontist is thoroughly interviewed by a highly respected panel of examiners to demonstrate their orthodontic knowledge, clinical skills and judgment.
One. The American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) is the only certifying board in the specialty that is recognized by the American Dental Association.The ABO was founded in 1929 and is the oldest specialty board in dentistry. The boards purpose is to elevate the quality of orthodontic care for the public by promoting excellence through certification, education and professional collaboration.
Successful completion of the examination process demonstrates the orthodontists highest commitment to excellence in orthodontics to both the orthodontic profession and the general public. It represents a commitment by a licensed specialist that he/she has the necessary knowledge base and skills to treat patients to the highest of standards. It exemplifies a practitioners commitment to continue to keep abreast of the latest advances in patient care, and to continue to deliver these latest advances to patients. Many orthodontists see it as a demonstration of their dedication to the specialty and the highest level of personal achievement.
Since the establishment of the ABO in 1929, the certification process requirements have continued to adjust to the demands of the specialty. Today, the process involves a thoroughWritten Examination (240 questions)covering all areas of information which an orthodontist should be knowledgeable.
Successful completion of this board exam allows the orthodontist to proceed to theClinical Examinationwhere they present detailed case reports from their practice/residency, demonstrating a history of excellence in patient care. These cases are evaluated by a panel of examiners and later discussed during an oral examination where the applicant is tested on a wide variety of academic and clinical topics.
After successful completion of these examinations, the orthodontist has officially achieved Board Certification, for a time-limited period. The orthodontist must go throughCertification Renewal every 10 yearsto maintain their certification status by demonstrating this continued level of patient care.
