Background:
Dr. Wagner received his B.S. in Biology in 1994 after attending
Wake Forest University and Florida State University. In 1998,
he graduated with Honors from the University of Florida College
of Dentistry with a top five ranking in his class of 80. As
a result, he was inducted into the prestigious Omicron Kappa
Upsilon dental honor society.
Since graduating from dental school, Dr. Wagner has made
it a point to stay at the forefront of dentistry. Because
the art and science of dentistry is changing so rapidly, he
has committed to taking over 100 hours of continuing education
each year to provide the latest techniques and advancements.
It is his fundamental desire to bring the best possible care
to his guests.
He feels privileged to have studied under some of the leaders
in dentistry today (e.g. Peter Dawson, Frank Spears, John
Kois). In December of 2003, Dr. Wagner made a commitment to
the curriculum at the world-renowned Las Vegas Institute for
Advanced Dental Studies (LVI) (www.lvilive.com).
Under the guidance of Dr.’s Bill Dickerson, Mike Miyasaki,
Clayton Chan, Norm Thomas, Heidi Dickerson, and Norman Thomas,
he has learned the most advanced cosmetic and restorative
techniques available today.
In addition, Dr. Wagner has equipped his office to provide
his guests with some of the best “high-tech tools”
available today. He believes that you will appreciate these
advantages because they will help your experience be exceptional.
Personal Information: "Beyond the tooth"
Dr. Wagner was born and raised in Gainesville, Florida. He
is a proud Gator fan (though he respects the needs of others
to have “other schools” as their favorites). Outside
of the office, his favorite pursuits are golf, surfing, and
music. He is an accomplished guitarist and singer. He also
calls himself a “waterman”, as he loves wakeboarding,
snowboarding, water skiing, scuba diving, windsurfing, and
fishing. He believes that “play” allows him to
balance the intensity of work and study so that he can be
a better dentist for you. “Work hard and play hard”
are words that you will hear him say, and it reflects his
passion for life. Recently, he met the woman of his life.
Her name is Kate. They got married March 18th, 2006 on the
beach in Hanna Park, Jacksonville, FL.
