Dr. Hughes' holistic and approach to dentistry should be the model of all practices; he looks at dental care and issues through the prism of the patient's overall health and then addresses the causes rather the symptoms. In a time when so many practices are eager to sell the patient on complex and expensive procedures, Hughes' conservative approach has always been a relief to my my mind, as well as to my wallet.
“Finally a dentist that addresses the causes rather the symptoms.”

Dr. Hughes and his team have been so great with my kiddos, ages 3 & 5. No scary "shots" or intimidating practices, it's been a very positive experience for them overall that will help them to never be afraid of going to the dentist. They really look forward to the treasure chest at the end of each visit!

Dr. Hughes and his whole staff have a wonderful way to put you at ease, which is not easy when you walk into a dentist office. Everything is explained before anything is done. My husband and I have been coming here for 3 years since moving from Boston and would go nowhere else. The office has the newest technology and everyone is so professional, but at the same time make you feel like you are friends. In addition to Dr. Hughes, Chrissy, Megan, and Shelley are the best!!!

Began seeing Dr. Hughes in 1994 after trying 3 other dentists in town. My background experience with previous dentists was unpleasant & painful. From my first visit I knew I would never want to go to anyone else. All the staff are wonderful, kind and helpful.

I never thought that it would be a pleasure to go to the dentist but it truly is! great office, friendly, courteous, knowledgeable and professional. The video on the screen with the microscope helped me to understand what was going on in my mouth and motivated me to continue with my oral care. One day I took my son for a tooth extraction and he did not even notice when the Dr. magically use his wand and put a shot in his mouth. If you go someone else you don't know what you are missing.
“I am very pleased with my procedure. As a new patient very impressed and satisfied.”
