Welcome to Hoffman Dental
Our Philosophy: Health-First Dentistry
At Hoffman Dental, we believe that oral health is the gateway to total body wellness. Our mission is simple yet transformative: to empower patients through education, individualized care, and a proactive approach to prevention. We see each smile not just as a set of teeth—but as a vital part of a whole, healthy person.
We don’t just fix problems. We work to prevent them from happening, because true health begins with awareness, early action, and a partnership between dentist and patient.

Understanding the Oral-Systemic Health Connection
Did you know that the health of your mouth can directly impact the rest of your body?
Gum disease, for example, is not just a dental issue—it’s been linked to heart disease, diabetes, stroke, pregnancy complications, and even cognitive decline. Inflammation in the gums can signal or contribute to inflammation throughout the body. Similarly, chronic oral infections may weaken your immune system or worsen existing conditions.
We educate each patient on these important links because when you understand your mouth’s role in whole-body health, you’re more likely to take ownership of your care—and see real results.
Personalized Preventive Regimens
Every individual is unique. So is their dental care.
At Hoffman Dental, we design customized preventive care plans based on your medical history, lifestyle, risk factors, and goals. Whether you’re managing a chronic illness, navigating pregnancy, or just want to stay ahead of decay and gum disease, we tailor your regimen to support your total health.
Your plan may include:
- Individualized cleaning schedules (not everyone fits the 6-month mold)
- Nutritional guidance to support oral and systemic wellness
- At-home hygiene coaching, including brushing, flossing, and product recommendations
- Risk-based screening for periodontal disease, oral cancer, and more
- Lifestyle and stress management strategies to reduce inflammation

When you visit Hoffman Dental, you’re not just getting a cleaning or a filling—you’re stepping into a proactive health partnership. Together, we’ll focus not just on smiles, but on longevity, vitality, and quality of life.

The Proof is in Our Patients
Hoffman dental is a fantastic place to get your teeth taken care of. They were extremely personable. My first visit there, right when I walked in Karen greeted me by name and with one of the biggest smile I’ve ever seen. Dr. Tom took the time to get to know me in his office before Julia took me for a tour of the facility. The care was great, personable and unrushed and they had top-notch equipment and technology. Very excited to keep visiting Hoffman Dental.

First time visit here after several years of no dental care. The entire staff could not have been more welcoming and friendly. After a get-acquainted session with Dr Tom , we went to an exam room where he did a thorough and considerate inspection. X-rays followed by a cleaning by him and recommended treatment plan. At my age I could have been easily duped into more work than necessary but the exact opposite occurred. I felt listened to, respected with care and skill. That reason is among many others, I highly recommend this practice to everyone with dental concerns.

Wow! What an amazing experience. The whole staff is welcoming and kind. Dr. Tom took his time to give me a tour and understand my situation. He was communicative and knowledgeable. Everybody should have the privilege of going to a dentist's office just like this one. I never thought I'd say I can't wait to visit my dentist again! Thank you all for doing what you do. Please never change.
