We saw Dr. Eric Niver who is a periodontist. He was great! He was very thorough and explained everything so well. We left feeling reassured that the course of treatment would go very well.

I am 61 years old, and I have been to a lot of dentists in my life. I'd say probably more than most because I've lived in 14 very different cities and countries around the world in my adult life (and I was never in the military). I am giving this additional background because Modern Family Dentistry ("MFD") is probably the most impressive dental practice I've experienced. This is the third dental practice I've been to since moving to Hampton Roads two years ago - there is another review on this platform about another practice where I had the opposite experience. I had a fairly lengthy wait before my new patient appointment today with MFD, but it was certainly well worth it.
My new patient intake took a little over 90 minutes, and I was seriously impressed by the diagnostic tools that were used. I won't list them in this already lengthy review, but I have never had such a thorough dental assessment in my life. Usually it's a couple of bite wing x-rays and a 30 second poke around by the dentist - if you're lucky.
My guide through all of this was Misty, the hygienist, and again, she was one of the best I've ever come across. I've had a couple of experiences where the hygienist was great and the dentist was an idiot, so I appreciate someone who is truly skilled at their job. What was most impressive about the cleaning was that she hand scaled the calculus and plaque on my teeth instead of using the quicker, less thorough ultrasonic scaler.
Dr Perkins, the dentist, was similarly impressive. She did a thorough assessment and analysis of my mouth, and dictated what she was finding to Misty using terms that I had never heard before. As you've gathered, I'm pretty familiar with modern dentistry, so that was surprising. She discovered an issue that will require a root canal (that no other dentist had previously founc), as well as three tiny areas of decay that other dentists would have/did either overlook or ignored
The most remarkable part of this whole experience is that I was not told that I would have to come back for a "deep clean" at considerable expense. With the exception of my dentist in NYC, every dental practice I have ever been to has said that my gums required a "deep clean." It was the final confirmation that this practice is different, and superior.
It will take you a while to get a new patient appointment. I promise you that the wait is well worth it.

I am very, very excited about being a client of Modern Family dentistry. Dr Paxton was my only dentist and she was the best and when. Met my new Dentist Dr Mazouck I left your office as confident as ever that I will be in good hands for my dental needs. Thank you so much!!!

Just wanted to review ans another long-time patient at Midgette Family Dentistry.
I’ve been seen at this practice for almost 20 years, and I’ve been through several different transitions. I’ve experienced Dr. Baker leaving (he was phenomenal!), Dr. Paxton getting married and changing her name, Dr. Midgette transitioning and now Dr. Paxton moving on as well. Change can be unsettling, but I've consistently experienced excellent care, regardless of whose name is on the building. Giving a one-star review over a name change or a different dentist just doesn't seem right, does it? Nor does it give an accurate representation of what it’s like to receive care from this office and this staff.
I've always found the front desk staff, especially Missy and Marsha, to be professional and helpful, ensuring every visit is a breeze. The hygienists are all friendly and personable, and each and every dentist is top-notch.
Let's keep focusing on the stellar care and the supportive team that's always been there for us.
