Services
General Dentistry
Our general dentistry services focus on maintaining optimal oral health through regular checkups, cleanings, and early detection of potential dental issues. We use advanced diagnostic tools and techniques to ensure comprehensive care for patients of all ages. Our approach emphasizes prevention and early intervention to maintain long-term dental health and avoid more complex treatments later.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic dentistry services transform smiles with treatments like veneers, bonding, whitening, and smile makeovers. We combine technical expertise with an artistic approach to create natural-looking, beautiful smiles that boost confidence and self-esteem. Our goal is to help patients achieve the smile they've always wanted through personalized treatment plans.
Restorative Dentistry
Restorative dentistry services repair damaged or missing teeth using crowns, bridges, dentures, and implants. These treatments restore both function and aesthetics, helping patients regain their ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently. We utilize durable, natural-looking materials to create long-lasting restorations that blend seamlessly with natural teeth.
Preventative Dentistry
Our preventative dentistry approach focuses on stopping dental problems before they start through regular cleanings, examinations, and patient education. We emphasize the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene habits and provide personalized guidance to help patients preserve their natural teeth for life.
Dental Implants
Dental implant services offer a permanent solution for missing teeth with natural-looking, functional replacements. This treatment involves placing titanium posts into the jawbone to support custom-made crowns or dentures. Implants help preserve facial structure and provide a stable, long-lasting foundation for replacement teeth.

We were in search of a new dentist and Dr Hekking was recommended to us. We are thrilled with our service and care! The office staff is super friendly and communication is great. I appreciate not having to wait months and months to be seen as well. The staff and Dr shelling are great with children as well which is another bonus!

I needed to get in and out so I could get to work and they delivered. The hygienist is fast and efficient. Dr Hekking is very personable and friendly. After he did a thorough exam we joked a bit. Had a laugh or two and then I left. Very pleasant experience.

I absolutely love going to see Dr Hekking. His office staff is always friendly. The dental assistants are gently, thorough, and just the right amount of chatty. And of course Dr Hekking himself is not only a great dentist, but one of the nicest guys around. I couldnt imaging my sons and I seeing any other dentist.
