Dental Hygiene/Periodontal Health While at our office, we make sure that you receive the highest level of service and ensure that our dental work is of the highest quality. To ensure that you maintain great oral health, this level of quality needs to extend into your personal oral hygiene routine. We can help you establish a dental hygiene routine that will keep your teeth healthy and white. If you have any questions about your current hygiene plan please ask us.
Your teeth are not the only important part of your mouth. Your gums are essential to oral hygiene as well. We can provide periodontal cleanings and treatment, or refer you to one of our recommended specialists. Please let us know if you have any questions.
Oral cancer screenings are a very important part of the dental visit for the patient. With the advances in modern technology, we are now able to pinpoint the start of a potential problem much earlier in its evolution. The ability to do so is extremely important in being able to treat any issues prior to them becoming a major irreversible problem.
Certain lifestyle choices can have a great impact on the health of tissues and your overall health in the mouth. If you are a smoker or heavy drinker, make sure to get regular screenings when you visit the dentist.
Often there is plaque and tartar that accumulates below the gum line. In this scenario, we will clean and smooth this area with special instruments to ensure that the area is completely spotless. If this area is not kept clean the entire area can become irritated with the bacteria that resides in the tartar and plaque. It's very important to have your dentist check this area if you have bleeding during brushing.

I have been going to Dr. Heide since moving to Eastchester in 2014. Dr. Heide and Arlene, are both caring, kind, and professional. Any procedure I have had has been well explained, both before, and during, all the while making sure I was comfortable. It is truly a pleasure to be a patient of Dr. Heide.

My family and I have been going to Dr. Heide's office over the past 15 years and have never had anything close to a complaint. They are some of the most respectful, kind, and caring people you will ever meet. They always explain everything that they are going to do in depth before doing the work. They give solid reasons why the dental work needs to be done and always are patient and helpful if you have any questions. I would recommend anyone to the office of Dr. Heide with enthusiasm. Edit: During the COVID pandemic, they are clearly taking every precaution to ensure the safest treatment possible, which I appreciated greatly during my visit.

I've been a patient for over 26 years and have nothing but the very best to say about Dr. Heide. He is not only very caring and compassionate, he is extremely professional and honest. I trust his medical opinion and he always took the very best care of me. My three children also have been patients of Dr. Heide because I knew he would be the best dentist for them. He explains everything he does and why, always reassuring the patient. We feel genuinely comfortable every time we go see Dr. Heide for a checkup or any tooth issue. His hygienist and wife, Arlene, is the nicest lady you will ever meet! She has a great sense of humor and I find myself always leaving with a great smile on my face! I'm so thankful that I and my family are Dr. Heide's patients!

I have been a patient of Dr. Heide and Arlene's for years now and feel at home in their office. I wouldn't go anywhere else, and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new dentist. My teeth have never been happier.

I've been seeing Dr. Heide for over 20 years. He is a great dentist -- he takes his time, does excellent work, and is honest and fair. He's made himself available for emergency work too -- even on a holiday. Amazing dentist and person.

Both Dr Heide and his lovely wife Arlene work very well together. They take that extra time to explain everything with details and patience. Cleanings are great due to Arlene's gentle hands. The atmosphere of the office is very peaceful with soft music and cleanness and never have to wait to be seen.

I have been going to Dr. Heide for over ten years as well as my husband. When I moved my 94 year old motherinlaw to Scarsdale two years ago she too became a patient. Dr. Heide is not only a great dentist but he is a very kind individual. He never recommends unnecessary treatment and if there is something that he feels would be better served by a specialist he is the first to refer you. I also like that his wife Arlene is his hygienist. It is a family business and therefore I feel a lot more care is taken with their patients. And if you are afraid of needles......I can honestly say that you never feel a needle from Dr Heide! I highly recommend this practice. Maria Benlian

Extremely pleased with Dr Heide's services. With Much professionalism and expertise he set up A game plan after having my braces removed (2 1/2 yrs I had them on) to place a beautiful 3/4 crown on my front tooth that looks like my original tooth and matched the color of my teeth after he performed a bleach whitening treatment on my teeth that I always wanted . Now my teeth are beautiful and pearly white .I can smile again with confidence ! He and his lovely wife Arlene are kind and patient . They make a great team and have a nice and clean practice. I strongly recommend him if you are looking for a top of the line Dentist! Very gentle with his hands and he explains everything in detail before he performs his work. Rarely felt any pain or discomfort with the various processes he performed on my teeth. My husband uses him too and I even switched dentist for my Two teenagers from Dr Penny Resnick in Tuckahoe to him. Could not be happier !!
