Dr. Hodges earned his dental degree from the University of Southern California. He served in the U.S. Naval Dental Corps, where he completed a prosthodontic rotation at Pearl Harbor and was honored to serve on the military’s MIA identification team.
He has completed more than 1,000 hours of continuing education focused on implants and full-arch restoration. He is a Fellow of the California Implant Institute and a Nobel Biocare CAD-certified technician. Dr. Hodges also shares his knowledge with other professionals, lecturing nationally and internationally, and has been voted a “Top Dentist” multiple times by his peers in Seattle Metropolitan magazine.
Dr. Hodges lives in Gig Harbor with his wife of 26 years and their Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. They have three grown children and love spending time near the ocean. Outside of dentistry, he enjoys hiking, cycling, exploring scenic drives, and cheering on his favorite football teams.I love spending time with my family and friends. I also like to travel, hike, and snowboard.
