Lasting Impressions Dentistry

I’ve been seeing Dr. Heppe for more than two years and think she is awesome. Her staff is welcoming and her hygienists are thorough. She always takes the time to explain what she’s seeing or doing and it’s clear she cares about keeping your teeth healthy. She’s done two fillings for me since I’ve started seeing her and I’ve had no issue of any kind with them. As someone who used to dread the dentist, I’m glad to have Dr. Heppe who makes it a painless process all around.

I had a similarly awful experience to A M. I went in and suddenly had 7 cavities (I have not had a cavity since my baby teeth and my previous dental exam was only a year and a half before). I spoke to a few coworkers who went to her as well (we worked in the same building) and each of them had at least 7 cavities as well, which seems too impossible to be real. I went in to have three cavities filled at the same time, and had to go back multiple times to get them filed down to fix my bite. She took a picture to show me her work when she was halfway through the fillings, and my teeth had been almost completely filed away on the inside. Even with the fillings my teeth are now much deeper and sharper around the edges than they were before. I’ve been putting off going to another dentist because I know they’ll have to redo the fillings Dr. Heppe did, and feel like I probably am going to need a root canal in one of the teeth. I can feel gaps in the fillings when I floss, and think I probably will need a root canal on one of the teeth because the pain from the filling never went away.
This was by far the worst dental experience I have ever had, and would caution anyone away from seeing her.

Dr. Heppe said I suddenly had 9 cavities and wanted to fill them all. One they were able to show me directly, so I let her do that one and a neighboring one. This turned out to be a HUGE MISTAKE. It never felt right and I had to have it revised a few times because of problems with my bite and flossing, but still had problems so I just gave up with Dr. Heppe and went to another dentist. He said I didn’t have cavities where Dr. Heppe said I had them. But worse, he said that the fillings weren’t done well and had created problems with trapping food and they weren’t well filed down, which is why I was having problems with flossing and my gums. So now I have a quote for $ 700 out of pocket to get Dr. Heppe’s work fixed by a competent dentist.

Dr. Heppe is hands down the best dentist I have ever had. I’ve had quite a bit of dental work done, and although I’m a super nervous patient, she always makes me feel at ease and most importantly totally painless! Thank you Dr. Heppe for everything!
