It takes more than ambition to succeed in a demanding field. It takes character, ingenuity, dedication, and, of course, the will to succeed. And, for some, it takes an educational and career path with many interesting twists and turns. This is the case with Francis J. DuCoin, D.M.D., M.S., who, today, rates among the most influential dental implantologists in the state.

Dr. DuCoin, who founded the DuCoin Center for Dental Implants in 1987, provides the highest quality of dental care for the young or the young at heart. At the DuCoin Center, which is a leading dental implant facility in Florida, the emphasis is on helping people.

"No problem is small to the patient. Some problems are easier to correct while other more significant dental problems may require the stability of secure dental implants to support new teeth." This outstanding care, from examinations and diagnosis to advanced implant surgical and reconstructive procedures, is due to someone who does care.

A native of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Francis DuCoin is a Drexel University graduate. Usually it requires five years at Drexel to earn a Bachelor's degree. It took Dr. DuCoin five years to obtain both a B.S. in Science and a Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering.

Living in the city made him very aware of the situation of underprivileged children. Wanting to help, he became a teacher of high school science in the Philadelphia inner city public school system. After five years, Dr. DuCoin realized the challenge of dentistry appealed to his commitment to help others and afforded him the opportunity to continue learning in science, medicine and engineering.

Dr. DuCoin attended the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine on a scholarship from the U.S. Public Health Service. This scholarship, which was one of only seventeen awarded nationwide that year, required Dr. DuCoin to spend three years practicing dentistry in a rural area.

To receive his Oral Implantology training, Dr. DuCoin traveled thousands of miles around the country learning the most advanced techniques. These trips took him from small places like Leawood, Kansas to major centers such as the Medical College of Georgia and Northwestern University.

As Dr. DuCoin's reputation has grown, so have his professional affiliations. He was one of the first dentists in the United States to become a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral Implantology/Implant Dentistry. He is also a Fellow of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry and a Fellow in the Academy of General Dentistry.

The move after dental school to the Treasure Coast was by choice, not chance. After living in the city, Dr. DuCoin knew he wanted to raise his family in a peaceful, friendly, healthy community. Stuart was the answer.
