Founding Dentist
Susan Hollar, DDS, FAACD
Susan Hollar is a Texas native who began her career as a dentist first by earning a dental hygiene degree in 1975, then moving on to earn her dental degree in 1980 from Baylor College of Dentistry. Dr. Hollar is an expert in advanced restorative and cosmetic dentistry and has won numerous awards and accolades from her peers. She maintained a private practice in Arlington, Texas since 1982, where she limited her practice to restorative and cosmetic procedures. She is the only dentist to have been voted Best Cosmetic Dentist by her peers in Fort Worth Magazine, Texas Monthly, and D Magazine in 2005 – 2022!
She was the first female dentist in the state of Texas to become a Fellow with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, a testament to her skilled artistry in cosmetic dentistry, and one of only 80 dentists in the world to receive this prestigious accreditation. She has been chair of the board of the American Board of Cosmetic Dentistry and served as an examiner for the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (www.aacd.com), where she evaluates and judges prospective candidates for accreditation. She is also one of only 43 dentists in the world deemed a Pankey Scholar.
After 43 years of private practice, Dr. Hollar retired, and the practice ownership changed from “The Art of Dentistry” to “Envision Dental Spa” under the leadership of Dr. Manar Kabbani. In the transition the practice maintained all employees and she spent the last 3 years of her career as mentor to Dr. McClurg and Kabbani. This ensures that her principles and methods of treatment continue and evolve with new technology in dentistry and we are able to achieve the same remarkable results. We are grateful for the gift of knowledge she left to us and our patients past and present.
A proud mother to her children, Sarah and Sam, son-law-Chris, daughter-in law Paige and grand- children Allie and Austin. Dr. Hollar spends her spare time being with her husband Gary, family, practicing yoga and pilates, painting, and interior decorating.
