Dr. J. Hunter Hicklin,DMD


Dr. Hicklin is an upstate native, grew up in Spartanburg, and graduated from Furman University with a BS in Biology in 2005. He enjoys living in Greenville SC and felt there was no better place to plant his roots and his practice.

Dr. Hicklin graduated a Doctor in Dental Medicine from the Medical University of South Carolina Dental School in 2009, and completed an additional year of General Practice residency at the University of Alabama in Birmingham.

He continues his education through the Academy of General Dentistry, the American Dental Association, and the South Carolina Dental Association. Dr. Hicklin says, “For me, dentistry doesn’t feel like work-I can’t imagine doing anything else. I enjoy the variety of procedures and especially getting to know my patients!”

In his leisure time, Dr. Hicklin can be found spending time with his wife, Anna Louise, their children Mary Joyce, Sanford, and Wesley, and his Boykin Spaniel named Lady. He loves time in the outdoors, running, biking, hunting, and kayaking.
