Dr. Hughes is the BEST!

He repaired a chipped tooth that had been repaired 4 times previously and Dr. Hughes did by far the best job.
Cant even tell a repair was done!

Finally a dentist that addresses the causes rather the symptoms.

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.
