Dr. Hofmann graduated in 1972 from Trinity University with a B.A. and attended the University of Texas Dental School in San Antonio, Texas, graduating in 1977. (The U.T. Dental School is now ranked the #1 dental school in the United States - U.S. News and World Report). He served as the Chairman of the Dallas Dental Emergency Services Committee for 3 years and participated twice in the Dental Association's annual Scientific Table Clinic presentations and officiated at ADA's Table Clinic presentation. An avid photographer and art lover (he minored in art at Trinity University), Dr. Hofmann uses these skills to dramatically improve a person's smile and change their image and perception of who they are. Dr. Hofmann has also had the honor over the past 30 years of serving on the mission field as both a dentist and evangelist. "Before and After" photos are available of many of our patients and Dr. Hofmann will be happy to show you our many "
OFFICE PHILOSOPHY: I believe in a conservative approach to dentistry and to preserving health in general. I was trained at what is now considered the #1 dental school in the country (UTHSCSA as recognized by the U.S. News and World Report). We were taught to use extreme care in shaping teeth: for instance in removing decay I was taught to use 3 levels of decay removal (fast speed then slow speed and then by hand...in order to lessen heat and friction sensitivity). This procedure also insures that all decay is removed ! I prefer to save natural tooth structure and to do crowns only when necessary. I have 27 years of experience in making dentures (including the first titanium-gold denture made in a private dental office), performing root canals (using the most advanced techniques), filling teeth with natural looking artistic composites in the precise layered technique, finding and diagnosing problems and weak areas, and teaching you on how to care for your teeth and prevent further damage. I like being on the edge of discovery such as creating a strong new temporary material that can easily repair broken teeth or resolve tough challenges with moisture and reach. I use children's tooth polish to polish adult teeth so as not to wear away the enamel and scratch teeth. I know how to properly use natural colored fillings, inlays and onlays that will not allow decay to invade and occlusion pressures to crack them. I attend professional meeting multiple times each year to improve my skills and increase my knowledge of new materials and techniques. And I enjoy the challenges of using these skills even in adverse conditions such as in the primative areas of Africa and Central America..
Lasers can be used to remove bacteria and inflamed tissue with minimal invasion and with little or no pain. Digital radiography uses 6 times less radiation than normal x-rays and allows you the patient to see and understand at that very moment what is wrong. And our "Wand" gives me the ability to apply anesthetic with less discomfort pain. The ZOOM light allows me to whiten your teeth in less than 1 1/2 hours. I ZOOMED my own teeth (which had been sensitive to tray whitening) and had no sensitivity. I am now making SNAP ON TEETH for people with discolored teeth or recessed bites. It is a quick easy way to resolve major cosmetic issues without grinding away any tooth structure!
Dr. Hofmann practices Green Dentistry by not using x-ray chemicals and by submitting all his insurance electronically! He also uses a conservative approach in protecting teeth by using the latest and strongest material: Zirconium, a space-age ceramic.
