Summary

Dr. Heher
I have made a conscious effort over the years to strive for excellence in dentistry. It has been a mantra for my life. I have literally traveled the world to learn from dentists whom I believe are real masters of dentistry. It has been and remains an interesting and exciting journey. I’ve learned from American dentists, as well as from the greats in Europe, South America, and Canada. For me, this education keeps dentistry fresh, not routine, and has allowed me to avoid the burnout I’ve seen among some colleagues. In the process of perfecting my craft, I’ve gained an enormous appreciation for the complexity of dentistry and the artistic, biochemical, psychological, engineering and material selection challenges — all performed on a micro-level and all of which can dramatically affect the final outcome. As Michelangelo once said, "Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle!"
Because an attractive smile DOES matter. Call today to schedule your appointment with Dr. Heher. We deliver exceptional care and personalized service to residents of Salisbury and Delmarva.
