What makes Adam Hodges with Hodges and Hodges a good neighbor?

Fear of the dental chair is something many of us can relate to. But what happens when a dentist himself once resisted joining the profession? Dr. Adam Hodges shares his fascinating journey from dental skeptic to passionate practitioner in this enlightening conversation.

As co-owner of Hodges and Hodges, a family dental practice in Asheville dating back to 1960, Dr. Hodges brings unique insight into how modern dentistry has evolved. "The last thing I wanted to be was a dentist," he admits, describing his resistance to following his father's career path before recognizing his natural aptitude for the profession. Now practicing alongside his brother, he's transformed this family legacy into a patient-centered approach that's changing perceptions about dental care.

The conversation tackles common dental myths head-on, particularly the fear that dental procedures must be painful. Dr. Hodges explains how technological advancements and options like sedation have revolutionized the patient experience. Their practice employs cutting-edge tools from digital scanners to 3D printers, making procedures faster and more comfortable than ever before. But perhaps most inspiring is his philosophy: "My job is to educate you and help explain what options you have. Your job is to tell me what you want." This judgment-free approach empowers patients to make informed decisions about their oral health.

Beyond the dental chair, Dr. Hodges reveals surprising personal passions that showcase his multifaceted nature. A dedicated beekeeper who finds therapy in observing thousands of bees after a stressful workday, he also enjoys gardening and motorcycle riding. These diverse interests mirror his comprehensive approach to dentistry—versatile, engaged, and always learning.
