Dr. Heil is proud to offer a wide variety of dental services all under one convenient roof.

Whether your needs are preventive, cosmetic, or restorative in nature, Dr. Heils expertise reduces the need for sending out referrals to other specialists you may not know as well.

In short, youre a member of the Oshkosh Complete Dentistry family.

Just keep reading below.
Dr. Heil has always enjoyed biology, and he found himself interested in healthcare from a young age, although dentistry was not included at first. It was during a routine cleaning while he was home for spring break in college that his family dentist first asked if hed ever considered joining the dental field.
At the time, Dr. Heil laughed off the suggestion, but later on, he chose to observe his dentist in the dental office for a week since he had no friends at home to hang out with. During that week, he learned that there was so much more to dentistry than hed ever known before. It was a career that combined science and art, which were both areas he felt passionate about! The rest, they say, is history.
After completing his undergraduate degree at St. Olaf College in Northfield, MN, Dr. Heil pursued his Doctor of Dental Surgery at the University of Minnesota. He also underwent a General Practice Residency at the Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis. Over the years, hes completed advanced training in dental sleep medicine and DOCS certification for sedation dentistry, along with various continuing education courses in all areas of general care. He is a current member of the American Dental Association, Wisconsin Dental Association, and the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine.
Dr. Heil and his wife of over 20 years have four children together: Tyler, Drew, Erik, and Dane. The last member of their family is Stella, a Labradoodle! When he isnt busy at work, he enjoys (but doesnt necessarily claim to be good at) fishing and hunting. He and the kids go deer hunting, pheasant hunting in South Dakota, and fishing during an annual trip to Canada. He finds it more enjoyable to watch them catch birds and fish better yet, he can claim to be an excellent guide when they succeed.
As for other hobbies, Dr. Heil likes to relax in a boat, go waterskiing/tubing, and keep up with his kids various sporting activities, especially hockey. Even though he never played competitively himself, its enlightening and rewarding to be involved with coaching them. The ongoing commitment to learn a sport is a lot like dentistry! Occasionally, the family is able to squeeze in a family vacation between sports seasons too.
The team at Oshkosh Complete Dentistry has been serving the community not just since Dr. Vu, but for many, many years. While Dr. Heil is taking the helm, the same team you know and love is providing you the care and attention you deserve as a dental patient. They are happy to answer your questions, break down specific treatments and financing options, and make sure youre leaving the dental office with a bright smile on your face.

The gums often dont get as much attention as your pearly whites do, but they absolutely matter today and in the long-term. Gum disease can appear when you least expect it, but routine care from Dr. Heil and his dental office ensures your gums remain healthy and keep teeth stable and protected. If your gums ever begin to feel sensitive, tender, or inflamed, we have modern techniques, dental technologies, and comprehensive treatments tailored to help. Call us to learn how we can get your gum health back on track with periodontal treatment in Oshkosh, WI.
When gum disease has progressed past the gingivitis stage, deep cleaning is needed to stop the infection from spreading. This includes scaling, a process where calcified plaque (or tartar) is removed from enamel both above and underneath the gum tissue. The second step of deep cleaning treatment is root planing, which helps the tooth roots reattach to the gum tissue and reduces further gum recession moving forward. Those in need of deep cleaning treatment will need to visit us once every three to four months to confirm the disease does not come back.
