In 1991 Dr. Spagnoli became certified by The American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, and is a past board examiner. Following residency he entered private practice in Charlotte, North Carolina at University Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery which eventually became The Carolinas Center for Oral and Facial Surgery. While practicing in Charlotte, Dr. Spagnoli maintained academic affiliations with Louisiana State University and the University of North Carolina. The Charlotte practice became a training site for OMFS residents initially from the UNC, and then and currently from LSU.
