About Us

  • Dr Hoffmann
    Dr. Ralph M. Hoffmann, DMD, FACP
    PROSTHODONTIST

    Dr. Hoffmann received his DMD from the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine in 1985, having also received his BS from the same university. After practicing as a general dentist in central Massachusetts while his wife finished her graduate work, he entered a residency program in Prosthodontics at Virginia Commonwealth University, Medical College of Virginia’s School of Dentistry. Upon completion of his residency, Dr. Hoffmann was asked to join the faculty in the Department of Prosthodontics at MCV. He spent ten years at MCV, two years as a full-time assistant professor, and the rest as a part-time assistant clinical professor in the undergraduate, Advanced Education General Dentistry, and Graduate Prosthodontics departments. He twice received the Clinical Instructor of the Year award while teaching at MCV. He also maintained a private practice limited to prosthodontics in Williamsburg, Virginia, during his eight years as a part-time professor.

    In 1995, Dr. Hoffmann completed and achieved Board Certification, the highest level of professional certification attainable in each and any recognized medical/dental specialty. Recertification occurs every ten years, supported by annual and cumulative continuing education, making Dr. Hoffmann a Fellow in the American College of Prosthodontists as officiated by the American Board of Prosthodontics.

    In 1998, an opportunity was presented to Dr. Hoffmann to join an established prosthodontic practice in Charlotte, under the ownership of Dr. Robert A. Rucho. Partnership was established in 2001 as Robert A. Rucho, DDS and Ralph M. Hoffmann, DMD, P.A. As of today, this office, as it has evolved into Prosthodontics of the Carolinas, has been serving the Charlotte area close to 40 years. “Charlotte has been good to us, giving us a challenging level of business. POC-Charlotte is a trademarked patient care model that we will be developing to better serve the prosthodontic patient and the other dental professionals that serve those patients.”

    Dr. Hoffmann continued his love of academics, serving as an Adjunct Clinical Professor at UNC School of Dentistry, Department of Graduate Prosthodontics in Chapel Hill for years. This gave him the opportunity to serve the students, as well as keep his finger on the cusp of the latest developments in prosthodontics. The Prosthodontic Graduate Program is recognized as one of the finest and most innovative in the country. He has also served as president of the North Carolina section of the ACP.

    Dr. Hoffmann and his wife and high school sweetheart, Dianne, are involved parents of four wonderful, adult children. They have many interests shared with their children, but the two of them alone love to cook and share a fine meal together!
