Why Summerfield Family Dentistry Is More Strong With Dr. Hildreth
Our practice under Drs. Ben and Jenny Weston has always aimed to deliver dental care with a personal touch. Adding Dr. Hildreth boosts our ability to deliver on that promise in several ways:
- Improved access for patients
More dental providers means more flexible scheduling, shorter wait times for cleanings, exams, or urgent dental needs. For busy families or those seeking same-day relief, that makes a big difference. - Expanded service potential
While we already provide many services—cosmetic dentistry, dental implants, Invisalign, restorations, wisdom tooth and general extractions, root canals, gum disease therapy—Dr. Hildreth enhances our ability to manage demand and offer timely care. Summerfield Family Dentist+1 - Hometown rapport

With two seasoned dentists (Dr. Ben Weston and Dr. Jenny Weston) already delivering care, Dr. Hildreth adds to the collaborative environment. This means peer support, shared best practices, and quality assurance so each patient’s treatment plan benefits from multiple perspectives.
