Dr. Brian Hoyner is a native of Gaylord, MI. After graduating from Gaylord High School as the salutatorian of his class in 2002, Dr. Hoyner continued his educational pursuits at the University of Michigan. He graduated with his bachelors of science in 2006 and then immediately enrolled in the University of Michigans School of Dentistry. He graduated with his Doctor of Dental Surgery in 2010. Dr. Hoyner belongs to both the American Dental Association and the Michigan Dental Association.
After graduating from the University of Michigans School of Dentistry, Dr. Hoyner worked in Virgina at Drs. Kail and Cox, Inc. Here he had the opportunity to work and learn alongside two dentists with over 60 years of clinical experience, and enjoyed taking advantage of the beautiful weather and plentiful outdoor activities the area had to offer.
After a year of working in Virgina, the appeal of beautiful northern Michigan and the opportunity to join his father, Dr. Richard Hoyner, as a partner in business persuaded Dr. Hoyner to return to Gaylord. Dr. Hoyner spent six months practicing alongside his father, before purchasing the practice outright in 2011. Dr. Hoyner now leads the practice, providing care to patients in the community.
As Dr. Hoyner continues his family tradition of providing excellent dental care to the Gaylord community, he is acutely aware of the necessity to remain on the cutting edge of current dental practices. As a part of his commitment to offer the best of emerging new technologies and techniques, Dr. Hoyner attends regular continuing education courses to keep his skills up-to-date. Dr Hoyner particularly takes pride in his new implementation of the CEREC single visit crown techniques and soft tissue laser technologies into his practice.
When he is not in the office on Main Street, Dr. Hoyner enjoys the many outdoor activities that living in northern Michigan offers. In the summer time he can be found hiking or biking on Michigan trails; in the winter he takes advantage of the record snowfalls by hitting the ski slopes or by snowshoeing over the high drifts. Dr. Hoyners rowdy puppy Chase joins him in many of the outdoor adventures. No matter the season, Dr. Hoyner finds great pleasure in living in northern Michigan and serving the community he grew up in.
