Dr Hogarth’s philosophy focuses first and foremost on optimising an individual’s overall health. By understanding the big picture, problems relating to the head and neck can be addressed first until it’s time to consider how best to treat the individual tooth. For Dr. Hogarth, treatment plans that are driven by an ideal end goal restore comfort and confidence on a straightforward path.
