Children's Dentistry
Our child-friendly dental visits focus on creating positive experiences through non-intimidating environments and specialized care. We use modern digital x-rays for quick diagnostics and offer complimentary nitrous oxide to help kids relax during treatments. Our team prepares children for each step of their visit to build confidence and lifelong oral health habits.
Sedation Dentistry
We provide multiple sedation levels, including complimentary nitrous oxide for mild anxiety and conscious sedation for more complex procedures. This ensures patients with dental phobias can receive necessary care comfortably. Our team evaluates medical history to determine the safest, most effective sedation method for each individual.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
We offer custom dental appliances that reposition the jaw to treat obstructive sleep apnea and reduce snoring. These devices provide an alternative for patients who cannot tolerate CPAP machines. Our dentists assess candidacy through consultations and collaborate with physicians for comprehensive care.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic services include porcelain veneers, natural-looking crowns, tooth whitening, and composite fillings. We help patients achieve desired smile aesthetics while maintaining functionality. We also coordinate with orthodontists for alignment issues to provide complete smile transformation options.
Dental Implants
Dr. Travis Hackney specializes in advanced implant techniques to replace single or multiple missing teeth. Implants offer permanent, decay-resistant solutions that preserve adjacent teeth. We use expertise from global specialists and local study clubs to ensure long-lasting, functional restorations for improved oral health.

Dentists themselves are really nice and good at what they do. I left because their office manager is so intensely and repeatedly rude (I would even argue that she's combative at times) I couldn't deal with any of it anymore. They're also incredibly overbooked. Their "emergency" appointments are booking three weeks out. A broken tooth can't wait three weeks. We moved on.

I never knew I could look forward to seeing my dental professional team. I moved from a big city (out of state) to Shelton, and had only been under the care of "chain" dental offices prior to moving here. I can tell the staff here actually enjoys their job, and has the experience to back it up. I always get major anxiety about dental care, even though I've never had any huge issues, but the Hackney dental team has been so stellar in taking care of my oral health that the overall demeanor brings me a sense of calm.
How refreshing! I am so pleased with all of the staff I have had the pleasure of interacting with so far. Everyone is so kind and compassionate, the office is absolutely gorgeous, and my teeth have never felt more cared for. I am so happy to be a part of the "family", and I look forward to my future visits with them. Highly recommend!

Just moved to the area and needed a new dentist, so I read reviews and picked Hackney Family Dentistry based on comments. They were able to get me in quickly to schedule a repair to a chipped crown. Turned out to be 2 cracked crowns, but ok. The process to fix these issues was remarkable, in that I think it's been just 2 weeks since my initial appointment, maybe 3. My temporary crown came off when I was brushing my teeth this morning and they squeezed me in today to re-stick it on. Turned out the permanent crowns came in early, and within an hour, I was out the door with 2 new teeth 5 days early.
The office staff is so friendly and efficient, the doctor is quick and thorough, but most importantly, painless. I still need some cleaning, but I'm not dreading it. That's a lot to say for someone who lives in terror of dentists. They are great, trust me.

Very friendly, yet professional people. Like so many others, going to the Dentist makes me feel anxious. I felt completely at ease with everyone I encountered at Hackney Dental within a few minutes after arrival for my 1st visit. I never felt pressured to do any of the suggested work needed on my teeth. I highly recommend Hackney Dental if you don't feel comfortable going to the Dentist. They will set your mind at ease & make you glad you are there. They will help you to achieve putting on your best smile!
