Dr. Barr realized when he was six years old that he wanted to be a dentist. But it was by accident.
Pushed by another boy, Dr. Barr fell face forward against the edge of a table. One of his front teeth popped out. Rushed to a dentist's office, the tooth was reinserted, but it never properly re-rooted.
Nonetheless, the experience shaped the direction of his future career. The son of a family physician, Dr. Barr was naturally inclined to follow a path toward medicine, and steered into dentistry. He graduated from the University of Florida in 1979 and earned a doctor of dental surgery from Emory University in Atlanta in 1983.
While at Emory, one of the nation's leading dentists offered to permanently repair his damaged front tooth in an instructional operating theater before hundreds of practicing physicians. Dr. Barr agreed, and now smiles with complete assurance that no one can tell which tooth was replaced. He enjoys helping his patients achieve a similar feeling.
GETTING STARTED
Upon graduation, Dr. Barr was offered space by his father in his medical practice office. He opened his practice in 1983 on Oakland Park Boulevard in a room down the hall from where his father saw patients. The father and son practiced together until 1994, when Dr. Barr moved his practice to the current location in Plantation.
