Preventive Dentistry & Air Polishing · Lafayette, ColoradoA fresh start for a healthier smile.
A cleaning should help your mouth feel good and help you feel good about caring for it. Devon Hofsess, RDH, brings a gentle, thorough approach to prevention, with clear explanations and encouragement at every step.
Planned for our February 2027 opening. Treatment availability and suitability will be confirmed before scheduling.
Dental cleanings that are gentle, thorough, and personal.
Your comfort and your gum health both deserve attention. Devon takes time to understand your past experiences, explain what she is seeing, and check in as she works. Whether you keep a regular routine or are finding your way back to care, you will have a supportive place to start.
Your visit brings together a review of your teeth and gums, a cleaning suited to your needs, and practical guidance for home. The aim is healthy teeth and gums, fresh confidence, and a smile you feel proud to share.
Air polishing: a fresh approach to biofilm care.
Air polishing uses a controlled mist of air, water, and fine powder particles to lift dental biofilm—the soft bacterial layer that forms on teeth—and surface stains. With a suitable low-abrasive powder and careful technique, it is an effective, gentle way to clean around the contours of your teeth while caring for enamel.
This biofilm-focused approach can mean less scraping for soft deposits and a more comfortable cleaning. Hardened tartar still needs targeted hand or ultrasonic instruments. Devon brings those tools together around your teeth, gums, and comfort for a thorough, refreshed feeling.
Understand your gums. Build a routine that fits.
Devon explains gum measurements, bleeding, and plaque patterns in a kind, straightforward way. Together, you can identify the small changes most likely to help, whether that means adjusting your brushing technique or finding an easier way to clean between teeth.
If your gums need periodontal treatment or closer follow-up, we will walk you through the plan. You will know what we are working toward and how your everyday care supports it.
A few helpful answers.
Does air polishing replace every part of a cleaning?
Air polishing is especially useful for soft biofilm and surface stains. Hardened tartar needs hand or ultrasonic instruments, and gum disease may require additional treatment. Devon selects the combination that gives your mouth a thorough cleaning with close attention to comfort.
Can you help if cleanings make me nervous?
Absolutely. Tell Devon what has been uncomfortable before and what helps you feel at ease. She will explain each step, check in with you, and make room for breaks. Your comfort is part of the plan from the beginning.
How often should I have a cleaning?
Your gum health, history, and home-care needs guide the timing. We will recommend an interval for you and explain how it helps keep your teeth and gums healthy between visits.
General education, not a diagnosis or an individual treatment recommendation. An examination is needed to discuss your options.
