My sweet daughter has Autism, and was unable to work with a typical dentist. She must be sedated for dental cleanings, which can be scary for both of us. The team here is always very warm and understanding. They’re patient and willing to help us when she is struggling. Dr. Thoms is so helpful and kind. We’ve seen him for several years now, and I trust him and his team completely. Thank you!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words and trust in our team over the years. We’re so grateful to be part of your family’s care and truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to our team!
I am so impressed with this Place. The staff is super friendly and explains everything in great detail and really takes their time with their patients. I came here after 15+ years of not having Dental insurance or the means to see a Dentist.
Needless to say, my teeth were in pretty bad shape, and I needed a deep periodontal cleaning. When I went in for consultation back in February I was totally nervous, anxious had no clue what to expect. I just knew that I needed to a tooth that was falling out pulled and needed to do something about my teeth.
After talking with a staff member and Dr. Hoffmann I felt totally at ease. Both my procedures in Feb and May went incredibly well and I woke up from both with an incredible smile.
I came back today for follow up and cleaning my Hygienist was awesome I still had some sensitivity around my front teeth and when she noticed I flinched she stopped and said do you need break, or do you want me to put some numbing jell on your front teeth.
After we got done, I had a lot of questions about the proper way to floss, what type of tooth paste I should use for sensitive teeth etc and she really took the time to answer all my questions.
If you have been putting off dental work because of anxiety, I encourage you to check this place out. The staff truly cares about their clients.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your thoughtful review and kind words. We’re so glad you felt informed, supported, and cared for throughout your visits. Helping patients feel comfortable and confident in their dental care means so much to our team. We truly appreciate your trust!
I went to nervous and 3 to 4 hours later, I essentially woke up in the car on my way home without realizing anything had happened. If you have trauma with previous dental issues, this is the place.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your experience. We’re grateful our team could help provide a comfortable experience and appreciate your trust in us.

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.
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.
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.
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.
