It has always been a great experience coming to your office. Everyone is always friendly and professional. You are made to feel comfortable as soon as you enter the door and leave satisfied with treatment received. Would not hesitate to recommend your office.

Great Implant Experience

Just had my final follow-up examination with Dr. Hoffman. This was my second implant to replace teeth cracked by night-grinding. Contrary to my original expectations, the whole process was nowhere near the medieval torture experience I was expecting. From the initial extraction, to the drilling of the newly grafted bone and the insertion of the hardware, I experience no pain other than a little initial soreness. The bone graft took spectacularly well, and there was no recession after the process was completed. Before the procedure Dr. Hoffman uses well designed computer graphics to explain the whole process, and keeps you updated all the way with clear explanations. As a special treat, he takes you down to his dental man-cave in the office basement to show you an amazing 3-d rendering of your jaw. Dr. Hoffman is a consummate professional, but also warm and friendly with a great sense of humour, which made visits actually enjoyable. He genuinely cares about the overall health and well being of his patients. The rest of his team are similarly both professional and personable. So don't worry about the implant experience if you need one. I highly recommend Dr. Hoffman. I want to thank him and his team for a great job and a great overall experience. -Aldo M. Richmond Hill

Two surgeries-excellent results!

Just had some more gum surgery. Had some done in the fall with Dr. Hoffman that went quite well (just like this one). After 2 weeks, there is no sign of palette tissue removal. I could not be happier with the work. My gums are beefier and healthier. Do not wait for your dentist to recommend gum surgery. Take Charge and go straight to a periodontist (Dr. Hoffman is a great choice). Now is a great time during social distancing and mask wearing for recovery. Dr Hoffman has floor to ceiling glass doors, open windows and 3 air purifiers around the surgical chair along with all other precautions. I have great confidence in his work. My gums have retained 100% attachment. I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Hoffman.

Connective gum graft surgery

I had my second gum grafting surgery done on October 23rd by Dr. Hoffman . Once again it was a very easy procedure . After receiving the local anaesthetic I didn’t feel a thing on the roof of my mouth or where the grafting was placed . I ended up taking 2 pain killers later that day and that was it ! I did have some bruising but because you have to wear masks everywhere it wasn’t a problem :) The way Dr. Hoffman takes the graft from the roof of your mouth is very simple, he stitches it up and it was healed in a couple of days. I will be having my next one done as soon as possible !!

Excellent place to keep your teeth healthy

20 years ago I had a good fortune of being referred to Dr. Hoffman. He is extremely knowledgeable, highly experienced and dedicated to the patient’s needs. He always takes time to explain process of procedure. Always gives a follow up call after a surgery. Based on my personal experience I’ve received the best care for my dental needs. Office staff is supportive, caring and friendly. The office itself looks impeccably clean. During my recent visit I found all COVID 19 precautions were taken. In short: when you find the best, you keep it.

The mouth of my dreams!

I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Dr.Hoffman and his team over the past 2 years when I was referred to his practice for gum recession. Being in my 30’s and in a profession where first impressions matter, it was important for me to put my “best smile” forward. After 3 very successful grafting surgeries and excellent post op care I’m amazed by the results! Not only am I happy with the aesthetics, it also cleared up the sensitivity issues and eliminated the food traps at my gum line. I now have a healthy smile I’m proud of and I can’t thank Dr. Hoffman enough for his incredible precision and care from day one. Truly best in class!

Thank you

Thank you, Dr. Hoffman and staff, for making my recent appointment so comfortable. I really appreciate all of the precautions your office has taken to make your patients feel safe. The online reminders, pre-visit forms and the check-in on the day of the appointment were hassle free. It is obvious you have all worked very hard to keep your patients and staff safe. Thank you for your efforts. Jennifer B.

Just had gum surgery 24 hrs ago at Dr. Lloyd Hoffman`s practice in Richmond Hill. I have to say that the freezing and the surgery was much less painful than taking out a sliver from my finger. I don`t want to say that it was a great experience, but he sure put me at ease. It did not feel like a surgery. It was finished in no time. I had two bottom and two upper teeth done at the same time. I have had gum surgery in the past using synthetics before which did not last. This time, material from my palette was used. I have had root canals, implants, and teeth fillings before and lots and lots of freezing but nothing as gentle as my last experience with Dr. Hoffman. I found him through review sites and that is why I fell compelled to write. If not for the reviews, I would not have known about him. I searched the Web for a periodontist that does gum surgeries which is not easy to find. From my house, Dr. Hoffman`s office is a 1.5 to 2.5 hours drive depending on traffic. It is worth it. Yes, his staff is courteous, professional and will go out of their way to make sure that the end goal is met. Parking is a plus.

Dental visits aren't something I want to experience. Being rushed and not knowing what's going on leads to negative experiences, no thanks. Today I was pleasantly surprised by Dr. Lloyd Huffman. He explained what's going on with my teeth, bones and gums. I finally have an understanding of what's going on and what needs to be done. Dr. Lloyd Huffman is detail oriented, informative and professional. The staff is friendly and the office is very clean. I'm impressed by the way everyone goes above and beyond the Covid-19 procedures insuring safety and cleanliness. This is important to me. I left feeling feeling satisfied. I understand what's going on with my teeth, bones and gums and I understand what I need to do between visits. I'm looking forward to getting a healthy smile with Dr. Lloyd Huffman. I highly recommend him.

Periodontal work - Dental implants

My name is Valery I was fortunate to have Dr. Hoffman do my 3 dental implants recently. Due to a crack in the root of one tooth, I had to extract it. Dr. Hoffman did the extraction and bone graph at the same time, which was virually painless. He is the very best of the 3 Periodintists I have had.. He as well as his staff are very gentle, patient caring and kind. They thoroughly explained every step of the procedure and made me very comfortable. I was impressed by the way Dr. Hoffman from beginning to end explained the options, fees, healing process and frequency of visits included in the fees. His fees were reasonable. Unlike my 2 previous periodontists, Dr. Hoffman made a template of my gum with the actual hole placements for the posts and teeth. He has all the professional equipment necessary, and there was no need to refer me to any outside lab for the special x-rays. Before hand, he demonstrated via a precise computerized model, how the implants would be fitted into my mouth. Amazingly, with my consent, Dr. Hoffman invited my sister to observe his work, from extraction to positioning of the posts at each of her visits with me. He explained every step along the way. She was so excited and impressed, that she had Dr. Hoffman do her own extraction and implant she need to have done . I had my one year follow up visit on July 14, 2020 and both myself and Dr. Hoffman are pleased with the x-ray taken. Dr. Hoffman is the very best. I will continue to refer him to everyone I know who needs periodontal work done. Thank you Dr. Hoffman and your wonderful staff. God bless you all. Good luck with your practice. Valery J.
