From our soothing treatment rooms and pain-free procedures to a variety of calming relaxants, you have a choice in making sure you have a fear-free dental experience.

Sedation dentist Dr. Fred Hecht has served Staten Island area residents for more than 38 years, helping countless patients with dental anxiety to overcome their fears about going to the dentist. He is fully certified to use all levels of dental sedation, and can transform your nervous and negative feelings into confidence that you will receive the dental care you deserve.

“I wouldn’t trust my teeth to anyone else”

“Going to the dentist is not always an easy thing. But the doctor and staff are the best by far. They make my visits a pleasure every single time. I recently went through some major work and I choose to use sedation. It was the best choice I have made. I never felt any pain and it felt like I was never in the chair, it went by so quick. I totally recommend sedation—it’s the best. The dentist and staff are great and I wouldn’t trust my teeth to anyone else.”

Jennifer Rossi

“The most pleasant dental experience I have encountered”

“I cannot say enough about your sedation dentistry procedure. When you did your initial examination of my mouth, I couldn’t believe you completely explained to me everything you were going to do, and even asked permission to touch some of my teeth. I was still nervous the day I was to undergo 3 hours of dental work, but it turned out to be the most pleasant dental experience I have encountered. After drinking the medicine, I barely remember a thing. I have no memory of drilling, which I know must have happened because I had a root canal, six cavities filled, and two crowns repaired! I highly recommend not only sedation dentistry, but you as a dentist, to anyone trying to find an excellent, gentle and kind dentist and staff.”

Jennifer Hicks

“There is a place that truly caters to us cowards, and that place is Staten Island Dental Care”

“I cannot express in words how grateful I am to you and your patient and caring staff for making a most ‘terrifying’ experience of going to the dentist so comfortable and pleasurable. To all those fellow ‘cowards’ and ‘phobics’ out there, that there is a solution to our fears and there is a place that truly caters to us cowards…and that place is Staten Island Dental Care… Dr. Frederick Hecht and his miracle team.”

Ellice Saranga

“You worked miracles & made me smile again”

"I don't know how to begin to tell you how wonderful my latest experience with you and everyone in your office has been. As you all know, I am one of the most apprehensive patients you have and because of that, have gone for many years coming in to see you only when it was a dire emergency. But you made me feel so comfortable on one recent visit that I actually had two procedures done without any intravenous sedation which would never have happened had it not been you doing it. You worked miracles and made me smile again."

Laurel Conti

“The best dental experience I have ever had.”

“I just wanted to say thank you so much for the best dental experience I have ever had. I came to your office with a lifelong fear of the dentist: the sound of the drill, the anxiety of needles and a low tolerance for pain. I appreciate your straightforward honest style and for keeping me so well informed every step of the way. It was great to know what to expect and even better that everything that was described to me about the sedation procedure and treatment happened in the manner it was told to me, with no surprises. The painless experience resulted in my dental needs being brought up to date with no trauma, no drama. I would recommend the sedation procedure to anyone having any fear of the dentist. I guarantee satisfaction and never having to worry about being afraid of the dentist again.”

Diane Prete-Giasi

“Sedation dentistry is the best thing I have done in a very long time”

"The experience I have recently had with the sedation dentistry is the best thing I have done in a very long time. The day I had the work done, with sedation, was absolutely wonderful. I had everything done in just one shot!!!! How great is that, and with no pain!!!!! Dr. Hecht is definitely one of a kind!!!"

Why choose sedation dentistry?

Reasons to choose dental sedation from our Staten Island sedation dentist include:

Reduced anxiety. Your fears evaporate under sedation as your body becomes calm and relaxed.
Greater tolerance. Because sedation dentistry reduces your awareness, you won’t notice the sometimes unpleasant sounds, smells and tastes of dentistry.
Increased efficiency. Dr. Hecht can use sedation to perform multiple procedures in a single visit, saving you time and money.
Greater control. With a variety of sedation techniques to choose from, as well as our intra-oral camera and painless injections with “The Wand”, you decide what will be the best ways to give you an ideal dental visit.

Dr. Hecht’s expertise makes him the perfect sedation dentist for your family. He is a graduate of the Pankey Center and the Kois Center and has studied many advanced procedures covering multiple facets of dentistry. He volunteers with the Flying Doctors and has undertaken many trips to impoverished villages around the world on a quest to improve oral health.

That same zeal and commitment to quality dental care is shared with the entire staff of his Staten Island sedation dentistry offices.
