- Dental ExaminationDuring an oral examination, a visual inspection can detect normal and abnormal structures of the entire mouth, head, and neck. Along with radiographs, an examination detects cavities, abnormalities in existing dental restorations, gum and bone recession, and other abnormal findings within the mouth, head, and neck.
- Oral Cancer Screening
- Teeth CleaningA dental cleaning, also known as oral prophylaxis, removes dental plaque and tartar (calculus) from the teeth. Specialized instruments gently remove these deposits without harming the teeth. First, an ultrasonic device that emits vibrations and is cooled by water is used to loosen larger pieces of tartar. Next, hand tools manually remove smaller deposits and smooth the tooth surfaces.

- CrownsCrown lengthening is commonly used to expose more tooth structure, crown lengthening involves the removal of gum tissue and/or bone to expose more of a tooth’s structure.
- BridgesDental implants are tooth replacements that look natural and function much like a natural tooth, offering consistent support and a natural smile. Dental implants consist of a strong titanium post, an abutment that connects the post to the restoration, and finally, the crown or bridge that completes the dental implant. In addition to replacing one tooth, dental implants are also a great option for securing a dental bridge, partial dentures, removable dentures, or a full set of dentures, too.
- Dental BondingYes, of course. Most teeth that have been broken, chipped, cracked, fractured, and so forth can be treated with restorative dentistry procedures, such as porcelain dental crowns or composite bonding.
- Restorative DentistryRestorative dentistry uses dental procedures designed to restore and repair your natural teeth. If left untreated, any dental issue, such as tooth decay, cracked teeth, or weakened teeth, can cause bigger problems for your oral health. But thanks to restorative dentistry, ailing teeth can be brought back to full functionality and appearance.
- Root Canal TreatmentWhen infection has made its way into the inner area of your tooth, a root canal may be needed. This procedure removes infection that has spread through a decayed or cracked tooth to the sensitive pulp area.
- Deep CleaningThe dental examination is a diagnostic evaluation of a patient’s overall oral health and hygiene. For optimal results, regular hygiene visits are typically spaced six months apart, and can involve a deep cleaning, X-ray scans, oral cancer screenings, fluoride treatments, and periodontal (gum) cleanings.
- DenturesFor those looking to replace missing teeth or looking to replace traditional dentures, this may be a great option for you.
- Dental ImplantsWe believe that excellent oral health has a significant impact on our patients’ lives and provide services to help our patients maintain or improve their oral health. Keeping the mouth free of harmful bacteria, infection and inflammation helps to prevent the entry and spread of germs or illness. Having strong, healthy teeth, gums and proper bite are also critical to a beautiful and healthy smile. For patients who have already experienced tooth loss, implants can help repair and maintain oral and overall health by replacing natural teeth and minimizing bone loss.

- Tooth ExtractionsRidge preservation is a procedure to help reduce bone loss or provide a dependable foundation for restorative treatments such as dental implants, crowns, or bridges. Typically performed on the same day as tooth extraction, Dr. Hoffman may use bone grafting material or bone growth enhancing elements to prevent resorption of the bone.
- Bone GraftingFor bone grafting procedures, Dr. Hoffman may use a grafting material taken from the patient or another source. Synthetic material contains tissue-stimulating proteins that can encourage the body’s natural ability to regenerate bone and tissue.
- BracesIf you or your child participates in sports, it’s important to have a custom mouth guard to protect the teeth and jaw from injury. Mouth guards are especially important for patients with orthodontic braces. We take an impression of your teeth, then create a device fitted to your mouth for a more comfortable fit, easier breathing, and better protection. Preventing injury is much more budget-friendly than repairing the damage caused by facial trauma.
