Dr. Jeffrey Hoos is world-renowned practitioner and author of numerous articles. He has developed many innovative and exciting dental techniques including the patented H & H cordless impression method. Involved with implant dentistry for the last fifteen years, Dr Hoos teaches implant dentistry and has been chosen as a mentor for the Nobel Biocare.
Dentists from around the world regularly visit his practice to learn how to implement his methods in their own practices. Dr Hoos lectures extensively on practice management as well as implant and cosmetic dentistry. He recently celebrated his 28th anniversary in private group practice in Stratford, Connecticut and is consistently in the top 1% of the dental practices in the United States.
From the tender age of five, he has wanted to be a dentist. We have a cut & paste picture to prove it! When we met in college, 1 was 19 and he was 20. Together, from the beginning, we worked to help him achieve his goal, and in so doing we achieved a wonderful shared goal of building a life together that has been so rewarding and meaningful for our entire family.
What does it take to be a success in dentistry? It is a challenging profession that requires so many different skills. Jeffrey brings a genuine interest in people and a desire to help them. He is a true problem-solver. His greatest satisfaction comes from being able to help the patient who has a challenging dental problem.
Having watched him work over the last 28 years, I'm convinced that his greatest gift is his ability to listen to the patient. It always amazes me how well he knows his patients when you would think that they would have little time to talk! We have gone in at all hours, made many house calls, nursing-home calls, hospital visits-with the singular goal of reaching out and helping a patient in need.
I believe that for Jeffrey, dentistry is the avenue through which he has been able to use his creative talent and genuinely help people at the same time. Although he loves placing dental implants and doing full-mouth reconstruction, it is that look on patients' faces when they bite into an apple for the first time in years or see their new smile in the mirror, that brings him the ultimate satisfaction.
