Why Us

Hawkins Family Dentistry - Midlothian

We Connect The Dots

There’s wisdom in traditional dental advice: Brush, floss, limit the sugar, and we’ll see you in six months! However, that now seems incomplete as we know more than ever about how oral health affects overall health. Being open to new discoveries and research is what keeps us improving. For example, did you know that …

-Roughly 50% of heart attacks and strokes are triggered by specific oral bacteria?
-Periodontal disease and diabetes are bi-directional, meaning one impacts the other?
-Amalgam (metal) fillings typically contain about half mercury, a known toxin?

Facts like these are why we prioritize education and use cutting-edge dental technology like lasers, metal-free fillings, fluoride alternatives, and salivary testing. Ultimately, we want our patients to have access to and receive the best care, so we treat the whole person when we:

-Balance traditional dental services with emerging holistic health technologies
-Utilize co-discovery in areas like nutrition, sleep, and motion as they relate to oral health
-Equip you to take charge of your health journey through practical and proven recommendations

Always friendly and professional. Dr Hawkins and his staff are the BEST. I moved out of state and still come back to Hawkins Family in Midlothian for my dental needs!

Hawkins Family Dentistry is the best dental practice in all of Virginia. Dr. Hawkins takes the time to explain the options and then moves quickly to get the job done. The support personnel are phenomenal, especially Brittney, who always is helpful and is usually assigned to me. They are also one of the most technically advanced dental practices I have ever seen. Great dentist I would highly recommend.

I needed a whole bunch of fillings done, and was really dreading it because my experience with fillings at a previous dentist was terrible. Dr. Hawkins and his team put me at ease from the very beginning, and were so gracious and thoughtful the whole time. And my teeth feel great! These people are seriously good at what they do, and more importantly, it’s easy to see they care about people. Highly recommend!

So grateful for Hawkins Family Dentistry! I moved to Virginia a couple years ago and had a heck of a time finding the right practice that would care for my dental hygiene as much as I do! Then my optometrist (shout out to Grove eye Care) recommended Hawkins and I'm so grateful. Every staff member I've had the pleasure of interacting with is knowledgeable and warm natured. To me, it feels very comfortable in this office, like everyone is in good spirits and respects the business as a whole. I love that vibe, especially in a professional medical environment, where patients can often feel nervous. Seriously this practice makes me feel good about taking care of my teeth, I look forward to going to the dentist. Even when I found out I had a cavity during my cleaning(which I was at first devastated about) I left feeling better than when I came in. Dr. Alex Hawkins was able to nip that cavity in the bud in 45 minutes! I was so impressed that I was able to get my cleaning, annual x rays and an impromptu fill in under 2hrs Thank you all!
