Devon Hofsess, RDH

Feel comfortable. Feel understood.

Devon wants you to feel comfortable in the chair and confident about your oral health. Her approach is gentle but thorough, with kind explanations, attentive care, and practical guidance that helps you feel proud of your teeth, gums, and smile.

She takes time to explain what is happening in your mouth and what can help, without judgment or a lecture. Her goal is for you to feel listened to, cared for, and ready to take the next step toward your healthiest smile.

A foundation in prevention.

Devon graduated from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry in 2020 with a bachelor’s degree in dental hygiene. She brings that foundation to every visit, combining careful attention to gum health with guidance you can use in everyday life.

Whether you want help with sensitive areas, a more comfortable cleaning, or a home-care routine that fits your day, she will work with you to make progress feel manageable.

A fresh approach to a clean, healthy smile.

Devon’s planned hygiene care at Rooted includes air polishing, which uses air, water, and a fine powder to lift away soft bacterial biofilm and surface stains. It adds a comfortable, effective option to a cleaning tailored to your teeth and gums.

She combines this with targeted hand or ultrasonic instruments where hardened tartar needs attention. Gentle and thorough belong together, and both are part of how she cares for your smile.

Her favorite miles, and her favorite company.

Away from the practice, Devon loves running. Half marathons are her favorite race, and she has run the distance in 1:18. Her running highlights also include a second-place finish at the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon.

At home, she and Ryan share life with Salt and Pepper, the affectionate cats they adopted from the Humane Society in September 2025. Cuddly Salt and active, playful Pepper make a much-loved pair—and very good company after a run.
