Dr. Heinsheimer is experienced in nitrous oxide and oral sedation techniques for all procedures and ages. However, he finds that often, through establishing great and trusting relationships with his patients, he is able to help many patients overcome their dental anxieties and need for sedation.
Dedicated to What Makes You Unique
Dr. Heinsheimer was born in Philadelphia and grew up with a love for sports, especially baseball and water polo. Before dentistry, he held many other jobs: He rented cars, worked in a hospital sterilization department, worked as a fry cook, as well as a waiter, administered an agriculture energy efficiency program, and pushed carts at Whole Foods.
These experiences led him to have a better understanding of people’s unique desires and perspectives. It allows him to see his patients as people with unique situations instead of just another number on the assembly line. He prides himself on listening to his patients’ wants and needs to create dental treatment plans specific to the individual.
Life Outside of Dentistry
Outside of the office, Dr. Heinsheimer enjoys the beach, fishing, and cooking for his wife, two children, and two dogs. If you have a good recipe or a secret spot for great food, he wants to hear about it!
