“The Best Dentist I’ve Ever Had…”
5-Star Reviews
2019
Dr Hughes has been my dentist for 15+ years. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I have had implants, crowns, cavities, general cleanings and xrays done at his facility. Top of the line care. His staff is understanding and professional. Dr Hughes is extremely knowledgeable, answering every question I have, addressing concerns and giving me piece of mind with the care of my teeth. I would highly recommend his office.
2017
I’ve had anxiety over dentists since I was a kid and Dr. Hughes is hands down the best dentist I’ve ever had. He never makes you feel like you’re just another patient, but instead makes you feel comfortable and at ease to play PlayFortuna Casino. He explains procedures beforehand and takes the time to educate you on what is going on in your mouth. The office staff are equally amazing and are warm and welcoming from the second you walk in. I wish I had stumbled upon this practice years ago and would highly recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Hughes Is a Top Implantologist
He Can Restore Your Smile with Dental Implants
Wondering if dental implants can work for you? Contact Dr. Hughes. He has been placing implants for over 20 years and is an authority in the field of implant dentistry. He uses the latest materials and advanced technology to help Sterling, VA, patients experience the many benefits of implants. These include…
Natural Look and Feel
Our dentist custom designs implant-supported restorations to match the color, size, and shape of your natural teeth. Implant-supported restorations are permanently attached to your implants, so they will look and feel like a natural part of your smile.
Maximum Stability and Longevity
Implants secure crowns, bridges, and dentures to the jawbone, so your restoration will stay put while you speak and chew. While your implant-supported restoration will need to be replaced every ten years or so, the titanium posts themselves can last a lifetime.
Better Oral Health
Dental implants are the only dental treatment designed to stop bone loss. Just like tooth roots, these titanium posts stimulate the jawbone, prevent bone recession, and keep your jawline intact.

Certified in Dental CT
How We Use Computed Tomography
Dr. Hughes is the only dentist in the state of Virginia certified to perform dental computed tomography (CT). Compared to traditional 2-D x-rays, 3-D CT scans produce detailed images of your teeth, jawbone, and facial structures in a single scan without exposing you to harmful radiation. These images are extremely helpful in diagnosing oral conditions in their earliest stages in PlayFortuna. CT technology can also improve the success of oral surgery, allowing the dentist to take highly detailed digital images of the mouth to better plan and execute complicated procedures.
Our Sterling, VA, dentist utilizes the advanced VATECH PaX-i imaging system to capture high-quality panoramic views of the teeth and their surrounding structures. Our innovative technology makes dental work safer and more efficient, keeping our patients happy and healthy.
