About

Very outgoing, high energy, will take care of you, like I would my own family member. Highly skilled at what I do & I will go above & beyond most patients expectations

Why should patients choose you as their provider instead of others in the area?

I take great pride in my work. Even though I pay attention to the minutest of details, I don't loose sight of the overall big picture, when it comes to oral systemic health & how it affects us as human beings. I have attained Fellowship with the AGD, something that less than 3% of all dentist have. I do a lot of extensive cases, that involve implants, cosmetic smiles, periodontal procedures & Invisalign

What are the top 3 treatments that you focus on?

Periodontal foundation using laser Cosmetic smile simulation & cases Full mouth reconstruction

What are you proud of in your practice?

I am proud of the fact that I have patients come from far, even after they have left the area, to continue to be seen at our office. It speaks highly of the trust that we have earned, with them, over the years. The best compliment that a patient can give us, is when they bring their entire family & refer us to their colleagues & friends. That is what we are most proud of.

Which cases do you enjoy treating? Why?

I enjoy using surgical solutions to transform a patient's smile. These include complex extractions, Implant placements, Smile Contouring, multi unit veneers & crowns that look very natural

    Very good experience and professional. I like the service they provided me. I will definitely come back. I wish they would inform patients what is covered or not by your insurance, and what is optional before proceeding to what is protocol/routine for them. That would be super helpful for some patients who would not need/want the optional diagnostic or treatment.

    Dr. Hedge is very quick but also pay attention to details. She also listened to her patients to see what they were feeling instead out just based off of her observations. I appreciate how she listened to me to diagnose a few things!

    Had some scheduling issues in the beginning because opencare and the office availability differed. They have very qualified professionals there no doubt and I learned more and had a better understanding of my teeth and applicable steps than before.

    Definitely 5 out of 5 stars! I had not been to a dentist in at least 3 years because I was nervous about the work I needed to get done. Opencare finally got me through the door and it was such a pleasant experience. The entire staff was personable, friendly, thorough, professional, and helpful. They made me feel extremely welcome and confident that I will be taken care of. Proud to say that this is my new dentist.
