A native of the South of France, Dr. Fugier graduated with honors from the University of Marseilles School of Dentistry where he also served as an Assistant Clinical Professor. He practiced in Monte Carlo where he attended courses given by two world-renowned dentists, Dr. Charles Pincus and Dr. Peter K. Thomas, both original members of the USC Hall of Fame. They were impressed with his work and convinced him to relocate to the United States and continue his dental education at USC where they could supervise his advanced training. After graduating in 1982, he was invited to assume an associateship in both their practices. He has also pursued special training in Osseo Integrated Implants with the founder of the highly respected Brandmark Institute in Sweden. Dr. Fugier was previously an Associate Clinical Professor of Fixed Prosthetics at USC.
He lectures in Europe, South America, and the United States. Dr. Fugier has expanded his educational background to not only practice dentistry, but to treat the whole body. He has earned his third degree with honors in Energy Medicine as a Doctor of Naturopathic Healing. His specialty includes Esthetic, Prosthetic, Restorative, Implant, and Laser including Biological Dentistry.

We believe the mouth is the gateway of the entire body, as it enables mastication, digestion, elimination, speech and of course those pearly whites: The smile! Dr. Fugier embraces Biological Dentistry to achieve exceptional results always balancing total health in harmony with beauty and your unique goals. In fact, there is no beauty without health and Dr. Fugier, as a licensed naturopath practitioner, often incorporates his lifetime experience in nutrition and energy medicine to help you achieve Physical, Mental and Spiritual wellness.
Dr. Charles Pincus, the father of Esthetic Dentistry and the first president of the American Academy of Esthetic Dentistry, founded this Practice. Dr. Pincus first developed 'Hollywood Laminates' (the predecessors to porcelain veneers) for the motion picture industry elite. His patients included Shirley Temple, Bob Hope, Montgomery Clift, Elizabeth Taylor, Barbara Stanwyck, Fred Astaire, James Dean, Walt Disney and Judy Garland to name a few. In 1986 he passed the torch to Dr. Fugier, his partner, friend, and talented pupil, who continues to provide superlative Esthetic dentistry to both Royalty and Celebrities. We prefer to keep our patient list strictly confidential, but all our patients seek the finest quality and ultimate natural beauty. Dr. Fugier attributes his 'Esthetic Eye' in part, to the daily exposure of his youth to beauty in art of all forms that his French culture provides. He feels his technical expertise is largely due to the quality of his training by his world-renowned predecessors.
