To earn a Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry Degree, students generally need a four-year undergraduate education. Afterward, they go to dental school for another four years of educational, clinical and dental laboratory training.

His patients have excellent experiences with him, one stating, “The guy is good. The staff are friendly and helpful. Dr. Heucke has done a bunch of work for me over the years and he’s as competent as the best NYC dentist I have ever been to, but with reasonable prices. worth the drive.”
General dentists provide a wide array of services that are vital to patients’ continued health. These services include preventive services, including helping to maintain good oral health by stopping disease before it takes hold in the mouth; restorative services, such as receiving timely and appropriate treatment when a problem is identified; as well as cosmetic services, including performing a range of cosmetic procedures, such as teeth whitening, cosmetic bonding, and even porcelain veneers. Dr. Heucke is also involved with Invisalign, Clear Correct, Sleep Apnea Appliances, and Implant Restorations. General dentists also address overall health concerns as oral health is seen as the mirror of general health. In fact, some dental problems may reflect issues in other parts of the body and vice versa.
