I have been a member of our team since 1997. I will most likely be the first person you speak with and see at Red Maple Dental. I enjoy helping our patients with scheduling, reviewing financial options, and taking care of insurance matters for their dental needs. I am married to Terry and have a son Aaron, a daughter Kristin, and two Jack Russell Terriers, Shelby and Bear. I enjoy snow skiing, water skiing, traveling, riding my Harley, and spending time with my family.
I joined the Red Maple family in May of 2017. I am a Asheville native but have roots in Georgia as well. Dentistry has been in my blood since a very small child due to the fact my mother was a Dental Assistant for many years. I love everything about dentistry, even the sounds. I have enjoyed meeting all the patients and helping them with their dental needs. My husband Bronson is a Elementary School PE teacher and we are expecting our first child April of 2018. Our current fur baby is a Golden Retriever named Waylon. In my spare time I love to play softball and most importantly cheer on my SEC CHAMPS the Georgia Bulldogs during football season . GO DAWGS!
I have been with the practice since 1999 after graduating from AB Tech in 1992. I enjoy all aspects of dental assisting, from making pretty temporary crowns to seeing a patients smile changed with cosmetic dentistry. I am married to a wonderful husband, Michael, and have a son, Austin, who is a talented motocross racer. Our weekends stay busy cheering him on and working as his pit crew. We enjoy every minute!
I joined the team right after graduation from AB Tech Community College in 1992. I feel my job is vital to helping our patients maintain their exceptional dental work, and I enjoy my relationships with them. My husband, Johnny, is a firefighter for the City of Asheville. I have a son, Seth, and four dogs, a miniature Schnauzer named Jacks, English Bulldogs, Harley and Dozer, and a Rottweiler named Bo. I enjoy singing, shopping, and, most of all, spending time with my family. Im an active member of Riverside Baptist Church and am privileged to volunteer my time working with the youth.
I graduated from AB Tech Dental Hygiene school in 2000 and have been practicing in North and South Carolina ever since. I enjoy being a part of the Red Maple Dental team, getting to know patients and educating them about their dental health. My husband Jeremy and I have two children, Kamryn and Seth. In our spare time, we enjoy visiting family and friends, hiking and snow skiing.
Im happy to work behind the scenes taking care of all the small details that make your visit ideal and keep our family business running smoothly. I allow Dr. Hoffert to give her full attention to your care, which makes Red Maple Dental unique. I grew up in North Carolina, graduated with honors from the US Air Force Academy in 2001 and have a masters degree in Business. After a 14-year active duty career flying the T-37, T-38A, B-52H, T-6A, AT-38C and F-15C in both the USAF and Louisiana Air National Guard Ive decided, with my wife, to settle in Asheville and give lifes priority to our three children. I enjoy coaching T-ball in the North Asheville Little League, getting to know all the great outdoor activities in WNC and my monthly trip to Columbus AFB, Mississippi, where I teach the newest pilots of our US Air Force and of our allied nations the basics of military aviation.
At some point, nearly everyone will experience dry mouth. But there are many people who suffer from chronic dry mouth, a condition known as xeorostomia. Dry mouth is a common side effect of many prescription medications. Long term dry mouth can contribute to a number of dental problems including dental cavities and gum disease.
Depending on your specific condition, Dr. Hoffert can offer several treatments for dry mouth. There may be things that you can do to increase saliva production such as drinking more water, chewing sugarless gum, and avoiding certain food and drinks.

Dr. Hoffert recently relocated to North Carolina upon completion of a residency program in implant dentistry. She cant wait to meet you!
Dr. Hoffert grew up in Greeley, Colorado. She graduated with honors from Colorado State University with a degree in Biology. She attended dental school at the University of Colorado and graduated cum laude in 2005.
In 2010, Dr. Hoffert began her civilian dental career practicing in Texas and Louisiana as an associate dentist while accompanying her husband on his military moves. She used that time to study the specialized dental care of special needs children and completed another residency, CIRP (Comprehensive Implant Residency Program) with a focus on advanced surgical techniques including sinus lift and bone grafting.

That summer Dr. Hoffert, her husband, Stephen, and their three children decided it was time to live near family. Stephens home state of North Carolina was the perfect fit. As business goes in Asheville, they were introduced to Dr. Miller and his practice not through the internet, but through a network of good friends. God blessed them to find Dr. Stephen Miller and his wonderful practice and patients!
