Dr. Hofkes received advanced training in oral surgery and dental implants with the Global Institute for Dental Education and continues to expand the scope of his professional experience with the International Congress of Oral Implantologists. He graduated at the top of his class while enrolled at the University of Southern California Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry and completed his internship in oral surgery at USC-LAC Medical Center.
Third molars sometimes come in with no issues. However, if they grow in horizontally, they may damage nearby teeth or a misalignment may form. They could also remain under the gumline and affect one’s oral health. In cases like these, Dr. Hofkes can gently and carefully remove these “wisdom teeth.”
For patients who are experiencing multiple oral health issues, a full mouth reconstruction may be recommended. In addition to helping rebuild your smile through a variety of treatments, it can also play a role in restoring your overall dental health and self-confidence.
