At East Coast Dental Care, patient care is built on experience, trust, and genuine compassion.
Dr. Scott Hornung brings over 30 years of clinical dental experience, rooted in a proud multi-generational family legacy in dentistry. Growing up in a family of dentists and practicing in a successful father–son office that became one of the largest and most respected in its community,

His expertise includes advanced training in complex full-mouth rehabilitation and implant restorations, allowing him to confidently treat a wide range of cases—from routine care to highly comprehensive treatment plans. Having cared for patients of all ages—from 2 to 103—he brings a level of perspective and adaptability that only decades of experience can provide.
What truly sets Dr. Hornung apart is his approach to care. He understands firsthand that visiting the dentist can bring anxiety—because he’s experienced it himself. That’s why every patient interaction is grounded in being calm, respectful, and gentle, ensuring you feel comfortable, heard, and confident every step of the way.
