Today was the second time that I became a registered patient with this office. I had previously had work done in the past with a different clinician, paused treatment for some time, and then returned today and was put with a new physician. I cannot even begin to describe the comfortability that I had with my dental anxiety after leaving the office. The new physician that I met with took over an hour to sit with me and go over my concerns, history, present scans, and any questions about the treatment plan moving forward that I had. She was optimistic, kind, compassionate, and most importantly, there for me in every aspect that a patient requires. She made me hopeful about any future needs I might encounter, and I would truly recommend this office yet again to anyone. They continue to find the kindest staff to support them as well, making it a well-rounded practice from start to finish.

I cannot say enough about Dr. Hoffmann and his incredible staff. I never thought for a second that I would not be terrified to go to the dentist for the rest of my life, but Dr. Hoffmann changed that. I have had extensive work done over the last few months, all pain free. I was missing teeth due to a decades old bridge falling out and Dr. Hoffman made sure I had a beautiful smile in time for my daughter’s wedding. I have never experienced a kinder more compassionate team, when you go, you know you are in good hands. There is more work to be done, but I am no longer afraid, at all. Thank you Dr. Hoffmann, and thank you to your team. You’ve changed my life.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your incredibly thoughtful review. Your kind words truly touched all of us. It means so much to know that our focus on compassionate, gentle care and making people feel comfortable is making a difference. Dr. Hoffmann and our entire team are grateful for your trust and for taking the time to share such a heartfelt message. We appreciate you more than you know and wish you all the very best!

I was terrified of the dentist and had not gone in years. I’m so glad I found Dr Hoffmann. I now can go to the dentist and am not scared to death. He is so kind. So gentle. I’m so grateful!

Response from the owner:Thanks for your kind words! We're so glad you had a positive experience with our team. Providing compassionate, comfortable care is always our goal. We truly appreciate your support!

If you love coffee and wear Invisalign, then you probably wonder if it’s safe to drink hot coffee while wearing them. So, is it safe? Well, we hate to break it to you, but the answer is a resounding no. But it’s not all bad news; you can still enjoy your favorite beverage by making a few adjustments to your daily routine. But before we get to that, let’s look at a few reasons why you shouldn’t drink coffee while wearing your Invisalign.

1. Invisalign trays are usually made of a thermoplastic material that melts under high temperatures. Therefore, when you drink your hot coffee while wearing your Invisalign tray, it will melt and deform. Unfortunately, this means your Invisalign tray won’t achieve its intended purpose, which is to straighten your teeth.
2. Coffee is a strong beverage and is one of the most common causes of stained teeth. When you drink your coffee while wearing your Invisalign, it will stain your teeth as well as your Invisalign tray. This ends up ruining your beautiful smile.
3. Coffee contains sugar and creamer, two ingredients that contribute to tooth decay and cavities. This is worse for people who drink coffee with lots of cream and sugar. Drinking coffee with your Invisalign tray traps sugar and creamer between your teeth and the Invisalign tray. This can lead to tooth decay and cavities.

Invisalign Coffee Drinking Rules

You can still enjoy your daily cup of coffee with Invisalign treatment. Here are some tips to help you along.

• Always remove your Invisalign tray before you drink your coffee. And remember to put them in a clean and safe place.
• Try and drink your coffee in a short time. Dentists recommend wearing your Invisalign mold for 22 hours daily for the best results. So as much as you want to sip your coffee slowly and enjoy it, avoid taking too long. Instead, keep your coffee break short. 15 to 30 minutes is enough time to enjoy that cup.
• Maintain your regular oral hygiene routine. Whenever possible, always brush your teeth after drinking your coffee. This will help remove particles stuck in the Invisalign tray and also prevent staining of the teeth.
• Avoid adding creamer and sugar to your coffee. These two are the biggest culprits when it comes to tooth decay and cavities.
• Drink lots of water. Taking water and swishing it around your mouth after your cup of coffee will rinse out any particles from your mouth and freshen your breath.
