Dr Hotinski was educated in Western Australia and graduated from the UWA Dental School in 1969. The first three years of professional life were spent in Kalgoorlie and on a rural mobile dental unit, servicing much of regional WA. This was followed by a number of years in private practice in Kalamunda after which the decision was made to enter into post graduate training at the University of Indiana, USA in the specialty area of Fixed and Removable Prosthodontics, (reconstructive dentistry).

Upon completion of the Master’s programme he returned to WA and embarked upon an extensive involvement with the UWA dental school as a teacher of undergraduate and postgraduate dental students in a full-time, part-time and honorary capacity. Since the move to Midland in 1988, he recommenced full time private practice, which has culminated in the establishment of Concept Dental in 2004.

Over the years Dr Hotinski has conducted various educational programmes and lectured to general dentists and specialty groups locally, nationally and internationally in the area of restorative dentistry.
