Dr. Alshaar has participated in research efforts ranging from clinical trials, and evaluating innovative oral surgery techniques, to data mining for a cancer therapy study, which led to publication. New to Florida, he is enthusiastic about serving the Florida population as an oral surgeon in Tampa. In his free time, Dr. Alshaar enjoys spending time with his family, traveling, reading, and swimming.

While studying for his undergraduate degree Dr. Hajjar would often see volunteer patients leaving the dental school with big smiles on their faces. He quickly discovered that he wanted to be part of something that made people so happy. 

‍

Dr. Hajjar attended University of Pennsylvania for dental school and completed his Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery training at Rutgers School of Dental Medicine.

‍

During his oral surgery residency, Dr. Hajjar met various patients who so badly wanted dental implants so they could finally start living without being held back by their teeth. These experiences are what eventually drew him to Nuvia, where patients are able to get their final set of teeth in 24 hours - a very different experience than what traditional methods can offer.

‍

Dr. Hajjar enjoys working with the advanced technology at Nuvia that makes permanent teeth in 24 hours possible and especially loves the patient-centered approach that forms the company culture at Nuvia in Fort Myers.
