David W Hughes, DDS

Dr. Hughes has the heart to treat his patients as his friends and makes sure that they get the best treatment. He even makes trips to treat patients during holidays and weekends if they are urgent cases. His office is nice, clean with modern equipments including a crown making machine that makes the crown fit in 100% for his clients. He is definitely one of the best dentists in the bay area.

I’ve had some wonderful experiences with my past dentists, but Dr. Hughes definitely takes the cake among all of them. He and his staff are honest, helpful, and highly competent in what they do. I always leave here happily satisfied and wondering who else I can refer to him.

I loved everything about my visits to the office. Dr. David Hughes was kind, funny and easy to communicate with as well as his staff. The dental work went smooth with no complications and they where on time, now that’s great! Clean office good people and good service and a good job. That’s a winning combo.
I highly recommend them as you can tell.

Dr. Hughes is hands down the best dentist I’ve ever visited. My kids enjoy coming here more than going to the barber!
He’s upbeat & funny, quick with a joke or a deep technical explanation of what we’re doing (remember catalysts from organic chem class?).
His staff obviously pick up on his style, and are very professional. I’m looking for reasons to go back more often… if only my insurance covered cleanings more than twice a year :)
Go. You will not regret it!

Dr. Hughes and everyone at his office made going back to the dentist a pleasant experience. I’ve been with Dr. Hughes practice for 2 years now and I am still completely happy. Proof? I have the ladies schedule me and my boyfriend for checkup and cleaning 4 times a year. Highly recommended.

I normally do not post reviews, but I felt compelled to post one about Dr. Hughes and his team.
Growing up I’ve had my bad run ins with dentists. So when I was first searching for a dentist for my 3 yr old twin daughters I took them to a dentistry who specializes in children. The dentistry had video games, cartoons on tv and little dental chairs. I thought it was a great place! After my daughters were seen for the first time I was at the receptionist desk to make their next appt because they had a cavity each, a door opened up behind the receptionist and I saw a small boy that was in a straight jacket crying while he was being worked on and his mom was at his head wiping his tears away. I took my girls and walked out of that place!
My neighbor recommended me to go to Dr. Hughes. It was the best thing I had ever done! My daughters loved him (well as much as you can love a dentist) and I eventually had a son and Dr. Hughes was so patient with him. My son would kick and bite Dr. Hughes and Dr. Hughes never got mad at him. Once my son did not want to be worked on so I was at the reception area rescheduling his appt. When I looked over to see what he was doing he was on Dr. Hughes lap and Dr. Hughes was showing him the different instruments and then working on his mouth at the same time!
We have been going to Dr. Hughes now for 20 yrs and he is still the best! I’ve recommended many of my family members to him and they all say the same thing!
I highly recommend Dr. Hughes to everyone who has ever feared the dentist and is looking for a wonderful, compassionate one!

Dr. Hughes is the best dentist in the area to go to, no exaggeration. It was actually hilarious how he and his receptionist Carol would come to Quickly back when I was working there, so we already had a rapport going (not that you need a previous rapport for them to be super friendly to you). Of course no one likes to go get their teeth cleaned and feel the embarrassment of not having brushed/​flossed as often as you were supposed to. But even before getting my teeth cleaned, Dr. H said, «we’re just so happy that you’re even here. Now you can say it’s only been one day since you got your teeth cleaned!» With the biggest smile on his face. Made me feel way better about my experience. Cleaning and x-​Rays went well, no cavities. I was thinking I would have Dr. H extract my wisdom teeth in the near future, but he actually encouraged and referred me to proficient oral surgeons where I would pay a lot less out of pocket with my insurance. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m actually a little excited to go back in 6 months. Please have your whole family do business with Dr. H, you will not be disappointed.

Dr. Hughes is incredibly sweet. My family and my extended family have been going to him for a long time. His staff is always kind and professional. They’re very thorough with their jobs here.

I went to Dr. Hughes for several years. He’s very friendly and I trust him. He is conservative with treatments and recommends treatment that will be most cost effective for the patient rather than the treatment that will be most profitable for him. (This is an important quality I have found too many dentists lack.)
The only reason I left is because I lost my dental insurance and his prices were a little high. 5 stars if you have insurance. 4 stars if you don’t.

My wife and I have been a patient of Dr. Hughes for many years. Dr. Hughes is always very friendly. He works to keep fees down and often recommends cheaper options for treatment. Additionally, he is very accessible for emergency calls. He made a special trip for me to his office early on a Saturday morning when I had a dental emergency before.
Dr. Hughes also keeps up on the latest technology, so is able to offer his patients better options for treatment.
I highly recommend Dr. Hughes.

I brought my father-​in-​law here for a follow-​up appointment for a sore tooth. Dr. Hughes took a look and suggested my FIL followup with his original dentist down in LA since he would know the full history, and didn’t charge us for the visit.
I love it when doctors don’t try to maximize the buck, and cares more for the patient’s well-​being. Thank you, Dr. Hughes!

Love Dr. Hughes! Been going to him since the early 90’s and he absolutely loves his job! And it shows as he is always friendly and will jump through hoops if you have an emergency. Highly recommend him!

Dr. Hughes is really good at his job. The BEST dentist I’ve had ever gone too… Dr. Hughes and his stuff are really fun and they make you feel welcome… I’m glad to have him as my dentist… I REALLY REALLY recommend HIM TO WHO EVER IS LOOKING FOR A dentist…

Dr. Hughes and his staff is awesome! Great energy and fun environment!

I did a clever thing once… I got doctors near my office. That meant it was quick and easy to go to the doctor’s office. Then I moved jobs and that ruined my strategy. Today I work 3 miles from my house and I’ve changed all my doctors except one. That’s right. I drive 40 minutes each way to visit Dr. Hughes and staff. I’m frankly not that loyal to my doctors, but I’m loyal here.
Why?
1. He makes me laugh
2. He admits when he makes a mistake and thus can be trusted He also stands behind his work and fixed and refixed until I was happy.
3. You can tell that everyone there really enjoys their jobs. I can’t believe I’m saying this but it makes it fun to go there.
4. Did I mention he makes me laugh?

My parents come to Dr. Hughes, and brought me growing up. Now i am grown and took my daughter for her first dentist appointment. Dr. Hughes is the best. He is patient, caring and always makes you feel great. I would recommend his office to anyone.

Have been going to Dr. Hughes since I was a kid (about 25 years!) Amazing dentist! Amazing person!

Finally found a dentist who does not seem like he wants to sell me a used car or some other service. No bill of goods here. Dr. Huges is top notch, honest, and aware of the value of his patient’s dollars. Grade A+ work here. Right down the street from my house but I would still travel 30 miles to see him.

My wife had been going to Dr. Hughes for many years, and when we were dating I told her I was looking for a better dentist. She recommended hers.
My experiences with Dr. Hughes have always been that his office should be the very definition of the term «Family Dentist.» He’s very personable, his staff is too, he knows what he’s doing, and every time my wife had work done we’ve noticed what care he takes and what pride he has in his work. My teeth have required very little work — a few fillings needed to be replaced, but I’ve always felt he was open and honest with me.
The one time he had to refer me to an outside oral surgeon, I felt very comfortable with the person he recommended.
Highly recommended. I would still be going to him if he took my new employer’s insurance.

Great dentist. I had been going to him because my whole family had been going here for years and he is great. I remember one time, I had a toothache and I walked in and he was able to see me and temporarily fix the problem until we could book an appointment for a root canal. I was so scared coming in for the root canal because of all the horror stories, but I didn’t feel a thing! Dr. Hughes is great and so is all of his staff. I only changed dentists because my insurance changed. I recommend him!
