The story of Hinkle Family Dental began long before the doors opened in 2024. It started with a young Roth Hinkle spending his childhood summers in his father’s dental office, watching how a steady hand and reassuring voice could change a patient’s entire day. Those early moments shaped his understanding of service and created the foundation for the dentist he would eventually become.
As he grew older, that foundation only strengthened. Roth earned his x-ray and polishing licenses as a teenager, gaining hands-on experience that anchored his passion for serving others. In college, mission trips took him into underserved communities, where he witnessed the impact of compassionate care firsthand. Those experiences reinforced a belief that dentistry is deeply personal, rooted in trust, connection, and dignity.
Seventeen years into his career, a long-held family prayer was finally answered. In 2024, Dr. Roth Hinkle opened Hinkle Family Dental in Southlake, where his family has lived since 2009. The moment signaled more than professional growth. It reflected a commitment to give back to the community that helped shape their lives.
From the beginning, their vision was clear: create a warm, welcoming environment grounded in integrity, honesty, and personalized care. Core values such as patient-centered service, safety, education, teamwork, and compassion guide every interaction. These principles shape the tone of each visit, the transparency of communication, and the sense of ease patients feel from the moment they arrive.
The Southlake location provides comprehensive care for patients of all ages. Preventive services include exams, cleanings, fluoride treatments, periodontal therapy, digital imaging, and oral cancer screenings. Restorative and cosmetic options include tooth-colored fillings, crowns, bridges, veneers, implants, and full smile transformations. Dr. Hinkle’s advanced training includes implant placement and restoration, root canal therapy, oral surgery, and dental sleep medicine. Invisalign is also offered, supported by digital scanners and imaging designed for comfort and precision.
Still, what visitors remember most isn’t the list of services. It’s how the space feels.
The team has intentionally cultivated a joyful, caring, and calming atmosphere where patients feel at ease. Many describe it as “home,” which is exactly the goal. That sense of comfort is created through thoughtful details — knowing families by name, remembering milestones, and approaching each visit as a relationship rather than a transaction. Time is taken to listen, questions are welcomed, and trust is built naturally, creating an experience that feels personal, unrushed, and genuinely kind.
Dr. Hinkle practices with transparency and restraint. If he can’t clearly show a patient what they need, he won’t recommend it. Families value that clarity, along with his steady demeanor, thoughtful explanations, and the occasional dad joke that softens anxious moments and builds connection.
The Hinkle family’s connection to Southlake extends far beyond dentistry. For more than fifteen years, they have invested their time and energy into local schools, faith communities, and nonprofit efforts. One of the most meaningful examples is Dragons Care, the nonprofit founded by Dr. Hinkle’s wife, which supports Carroll ISD staff members navigating illness, injury, or hardship. It reflects a deep respect for the people who show up for children and classrooms every day, often while carrying unseen burdens of their own.
That commitment shows up in quieter ways as well. Relationships are nurtured over time. Trust is built visit by visit. Families are not rushed through their experience. They are listened to, met with patience, and treated with respect. This approach creates familiarity that turns first visits into long-term relationships and patients into neighbors who feel genuinely known.
That same heart guides how the office operates. Instead of relying on traditional marketing, much of the outreach budget is directed toward supporting educators, nonprofits, and community programs. For the Hinkles, giving back isn’t a strategy. It’s gratitude in action, offered consistently and without expectation.
Excellence remains a cornerstone. Dr. Hinkle participates in continuing education throughout the year, completing advanced courses, hands-on workshops, and clinical training that keep him aligned with modern dentistry. This commitment ensures that patients receive safe, current, and exceptional care at every stage of life.
When asked what he values most about serving Southlake families, Dr. Hinkle’s answer comes without hesitation. “The individuals and families who come to our office are not just patients,” he shares. “They are our neighbors, our friends, and people we truly care about. This community is not a place that feels like home. It is our home.”
That belief shows up in small but meaningful ways — urgent calls answered quickly, flexibility offered to someone in pain, quiet reassurance extended during difficult seasons. These moments are not obligations. They are privileges, and the practice is built on that philosophy. It’s a dental home shaped by genuine care, guided by integrity, and committed to doing what’s best for every person who walks through the door. Families leave with more than restored smiles. They leave feeling supported, valued, and understood.
For the Hinkle family, opening this office was never just about dentistry. It was about honoring the community that welcomed them, raised their children, and shaped their purpose. Today, that gratitude shows up through care that is steady, sincere, and deeply rooted in Southlake.
