Meet Dr. Eric Wagoner

Dr. Eric Wagoner was born and raised in Auburn, Indiana. His uncle was a dentist and sparked Dr. Wagoner’s interest in the field from an early age. He grew up loving his visits to the dental office. He even won an award for his 3rd-grade science fair project on tooth decay!

Following high school graduation, he attended Purdue University, where he received his Bachelor's of Science in General Health Sciences and his Master's of Science in Molecular Biology.

He was then accepted into the Indiana University School of Dentistry. He earned his Doctorate of Dental Surgery in 2011 with honors, including receiving the Student Excellence Award for Clinical Proficiency and Excellence in Academics.

Dr. Wagoner met his wife Ingrid in his first year of dental school while skiing in Vail, CO, and they married in 2009. They relocated to North Carolina after his graduation, where Dr. Wagoner spent five years serving the underprivileged residents of this state in a rural setting. Ingrid trained to become a dental lab technician and currently makes removable prosthetics.

His son Ethan was born in 2019 and is the light of his life. When he’s not spending quality family time, he enjoys many outdoor activities such as hiking, mountain biking, hunting, and fishing.
