My practice is a great family practice because I've had children and families as patients since I began 30 years ago. Now, I have those same children bringing their children. I have three or four generations of the same family still coming to me. Hopefully, I'll have five or six generations by the time I'm done.
With an experienced and caring staff, a skilled dentist, and lots of high-end dental technology, we give you and your family the excellent care you expect. Call our Midlothian, VA dentist office today at 804-744-4000 to schedule your family’s dental care.
We Have Dental Services for Your Entire Family
There’s a reason we have patients ranging in age from 2 to 98. We have a full range of dental services for all ages, such as:
- General dentistry, including dental exams and dental cleanings
- Cosmetic dentistry, including dental veneers and teeth whitening
- Restorative dentistry, including same-day dental crowns
- Dental implants
- Dentures
- Oral surgery
Dr. Hood Biggers will also see your family in dental emergencies. He monitors his own after-hours calls instead of routing them through an answering service so he can quickly determine whether he needs to see you or your family member right away.
Trust Us With Your Family’s Teeth
From preventive care to restorative dentistry services, we provide the care to keep your family’s smiles healthy. For your children, we emphasize preventive care like:
- Regular dental cleanings and exams. During regular teeth cleanings and dental exams, Dr. Biggers and his staff clean cavity-causing plaque from teeth. No matter how well you brush, you will miss areas. This is especially true for children who have not been brushing long enough to master the skill. We use cavity detectors to find cavities in their earliest stages, when they are easiest to treat.
- Fluoride treatments. Tooth enamel doesn’t grow back, so it’s important to take care of your child’s enamel. Fluoride remineralizes their tooth enamel and keeps it strong so it can resist chipping, cracking, and tooth decay.
- Dental sealants. This coating seals out the potentially dangerous bacteria, sugars, and food debris that can cause cavities.
Dr. Biggers is a father of five and grandfather of six. Many members of our staff are parents, too. So they’re experienced in dealing with youngsters, from tired toddlers to bored teenagers.
As you get older, you may need restorative services. We offer many options for fixing damaged teeth and replacing missing ones, including dental crowns, dental bridges, dental implants, and dentures. We offer free consultations, and Dr. Biggers will take the time to discuss all your options with you to ensure you make the best choice for your situation.
We use our advanced CEREC technology to produce your dental restorations in our Midlothian, VA dentist office. It’s hard to beat the convenience of getting a restoration like a dental crown in just a few hours instead of the usual few weeks.
We even offer sleep apnea treatments to help snoring family members get a better night’s rest.
General Dentistry Keeps Your Smile Healthy
While you can get services such as dental implants at the dentist office of Dr. Hood Biggers, we also offer an extensive range of general dentistry in Midlothian, VA. Call us at 804-744-4000 to take care of your family’s general dentistry needs, including regular dental cleanings and exams. You will benefit from our advanced technology, like our new 3D X-ray machine.

I'm a general dentist. What that entails is I can do anything from family, to cosmetic, to surgery, to root canals. We also do things like snore guards for people that have a snoring problem—people that have sleep apnea. Also, we do gum work, and fillings, and veneers, and crowns, and all sorts of things that you hear all the time. The sky's the limit. As long as I am competent, I can do it.
Get a Comprehensive Dental Cleaning and Exam
Dr. Biggers teams up with a hygienist in his Midlothian, VA dentist office to give you a truly comprehensive dental exam that addresses all aspects of your oral health. Your teeth get a thorough cleaning both above and below the gumline, which helps prevent tooth decay and gingivitis by keeping harmful bacteria at bay.
Dr. Biggers likes to use the most up-to-date dental technology at Biggers Family Dentistry, and he incorporates it even in routine exams. We use the Planmeca ProMax system to take X-rays, so you don’t need to worry about putting bulky films in your mouth or even moving around as images are taken. Instead, the sophisticated machinery quickly moves around your head to produce the images while you stand still and relax.
Fight Gum Disease with a Deep Cleaning
Healthy gums are the foundation of a great smile. At Biggers Family Dentistry, our treatments for gum disease include dental scaling and root planing. We’ll remove especially stubborn plaque and tartar (scaling), then smooth your tooth roots to make it tougher for bacteria to accumulate (root planing). We’ll administer local anesthesia to ensure you remain comfortable throughout the procedure.
Athletic Mouthguards Keep You in the Game
If anyone understands the importance of a well-fitting mouthguard worn during athletic activities, it’s Dr. Biggers. He served as the official dentist of the Richmond Renegades professional hockey team for 15 years.
He can create comfortable, custom mouthguards that will protect the mouths and teeth of your entire family. Custom mouthguards are made of materials that are easy to keep clean and that will stand up to all the abuse you – or your opponents – can dish out.
Call us today at 804-744-4000 to schedule a visit for your family, or use our online form to request your appointments. When it comes to family and general dental care, you will get nothing short of excellence from Dr. Hood Biggers, Midlothian, VA dentist, and his staff.
