With a lifelong love of science and biology, Dr. Hughes was drawn to dentistry as the perfect balance of working with his hands, problem-solving, and caring for people. Over the last three decades, Dr. Hughes has remained dedicated to professional growth as an active member of the Academy of General Dentistry, several local study clubs, and through consistent volunteer work. Known for his empathy and compassion, Dr. Hughes finds great fulfillment in helping patients out of pain and restoring confidence through healthy, beautiful smiles.
Outside of dentistry, Dr. Hughes enjoys an active and family-centered life.
