At Hawkes Dental, our team looks beyond individual dental concerns to consider how your oral health fits into your overall well-being. Our services combine prevention, patient education, modern technology, and personalized treatment for children, adults, and families throughout Litchfield and surrounding Michigan communities.
Whether you’re maintaining a healthy smile, repairing a damaged tooth, replacing missing teeth, or managing a more complex concern, we’ll help you understand your options and make informed decisions about your care.
General Dentistry
General dentistry provides the foundation for maintaining healthy teeth and gums throughout your life.
Our approach emphasizes prevention, early detection, and education so we can help you manage concerns before they become more complicated.
Dental Cleanings
Professional cleanings remove plaque, tartar, and biofilm from areas that brushing and flossing may not fully reach.
At Hawkes Dental, we incorporate Guided Biofilm Therapy to help identify and target biofilm while giving our team an opportunity to provide personalized guidance for your home-care routine.
Deep Cleanings (Scaling & Root Planing)
When bacteria and tartar accumulate below the gumline, a routine cleaning may no longer be enough.
Deep cleanings, also called scaling and root planing, remove buildup from around the tooth roots to help manage periodontal disease and support healthier gum tissue.
Total Health And Wellness
Preventive care at Hawkes Dental considers your oral health as part of your broader wellness.
Routine exams, patient education, salivary diagnostics, Guided Biofilm Therapy, and other tools can help us identify individual risk factors and develop recommendations based on your needs.
Restorative Dentistry
Damaged or missing teeth can affect your comfort, bite, and ability to maintain your oral health.
Our restorative dentistry services focus on repairing or replacing teeth while preserving healthy natural structure whenever possible.
We’ll evaluate the condition of your teeth, discuss the available options, and help you choose a restoration that fits your oral health needs.
Dental Fillings
Fillings repair areas of a tooth damaged by decay and help protect the remaining healthy structure.
Dr. Hawkes evaluates the extent and location of the cavity before recommending the appropriate restorative material and treatment approach.
Dental Crowns
A dental crown covers and protects a weakened or damaged tooth while restoring its shape and function.
Crowns may be recommended for teeth affected by significant decay, cracks, large fillings, or previous root canal treatment.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges provide a fixed option for replacing one or more missing teeth.
Depending on the type of bridge, the restoration may use neighboring teeth or dental implants for support while helping restore comfortable chewing and proper spacing.
Dental Implants
Dental implants replace missing tooth roots with posts placed in the jawbone, creating a stable foundation for a crown or larger restoration.
They may be used to replace a single tooth, several teeth, or provide additional support for certain dentures.
Dentures
Full and partial dentures offer options for replacing several or all missing teeth.
Depending on your needs, we can also discuss implant-supported options that use dental implants for additional stability.
Oral Surgery
Sometimes protecting your long-term oral health requires surgical treatment. Hawkes Dental provides services such as tooth extractions and bone grafting, including care that may prepare the jaw for future dental implant treatment.
Dr. Hawkes uses diagnostic information and careful treatment planning to determine the appropriate approach while keeping you informed about the procedure and recovery.
Sleep Dentistry
Sleep-related breathing problems can affect how well you rest and how you function during the day. Dr. Cody Hawkes is a Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine and provides evaluation and oral appliance therapy for appropriate patients with sleep-related breathing concerns.
Our sleep dentistry services focus specifically on sleep and breathing health and are different from sedation dentistry, which Hawkes Dental does not offer.
Emergency Dentistry
Severe tooth pain, swelling, broken teeth, infections, and dental injuries can require prompt attention. Our emergency dentistry services focus on identifying the source of the problem, relieving discomfort, and determining the appropriate treatment to protect your oral health.
When you contact us with an urgent concern, our team can also provide guidance about what to do before you arrive.
Kids Learning Lab
Dental education can help children become more involved in caring for their own smiles. The Kids Learning Lab gives patients under 18 opportunities to learn about brushing, cavity prevention, nutrition, bacteria, and other oral health topics through hands-on, age-appropriate education.
Tools such as Guided Biofilm Therapy can also make lessons more visual, helping children see plaque and better understand where they may need to improve their brushing habits.
Why Choose Hawkes Dental?
Dr. Cody Hawkes brings a broader healthcare perspective to dentistry through his previous experience as a registered nurse. He has practiced dentistry since 2020 and completes continuing education courses at least monthly to stay current with research, technology, and treatment approaches.
Dr. Hawkes is also a Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine and a member of the Michigan Dental Association, Academy of General Dentistry, American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, and Academy of Oral and Systemic Health.
That background helps shape our whole-health approach at Hawkes Dental.
We use tools such as cone beam CT imaging, AI-assisted diagnostics, salivary diagnostics, Guided Biofilm Therapy, and ozone therapy when appropriate, while keeping education and prevention at the center of your care. Whether we’re seeing a child for a cleaning or helping an adult plan restorative treatment, our goal is to give you clear information and care that considers both your immediate dental needs and long-term health.
