Philadelphia native, Quakertown-raised and current denizen of Harleysville, Rosie is the “go-to girl” overseeing all office operations at Heritage Dental. For more information, call 21 or visit or /DrBethSkovron. As her practice’s success and growth attests, more patients are opening their hearts, minds and mouths to the Heritage Dental experience. Skovron has challenged the perception that a visit to the dentist has to be cold and clinical to deliver excellent care. Also in the works is a Zen Room replete with more massage chairs, an expanded aromatherapy program and additional dental treatment rooms to accommodate new specialists. The office will gain an additional one-third of square footage and will nearly double in space. To meet the needs of its booming practice, Heritage Dental will celebrate a grand opening in April as it expands into a larger space and offers new amenities.

With a staff that takes a whole-body/whole-mind approach and has advanced technologies at their fingertips, with the knowledge to properly execute targeted procedures, it is no wonder Heritage Dental is growing. Then we also have this holistic zen vibe. As a team we are so unique in that we really go above and beyond as far as dental treatment and dental care with our state-of-the-art equipment, and we’re constantly striving for exceptional service by keeping up with continuing education and training. Beth and I love what I do,” enthuses Hetrick. Skovron’s second-in-command, office manager and patient liaison Rosie Hetrick, is perhaps Heritage Dental’s most effusive fan: “I love Dr. This commitment shows itself in the palpably friendly, relaxed and caring atmosphere inside the office. Skovron also subsidizes continued education and training for employees so they remain up-to-date and their skills diversify. Skovron regularly plans group outings for her dental staff past trips have included skydiving and a painting class. Charcoal rinses and full-body barriers are employed to minimize and shield patients and practitioners from the deleterious effects of mercury exposure and the potential toxicity associated with mercury poisoning.īecause mercury is also considered toxic to the environment, Heritage Dental uses environmental filters and follows all protocol and procedures to ensure that mercury does not make its way into the sewer system.īuilding a strong and cohesive team has been critical to Heritage Dental’s success. It also specializes in the holistic practice of safe mercury removal, which protects the client and staff from mercury vapor during extraction. Holistic dentists consider root causes of a dental issue from a whole-body perspective, and they work to ensure the whole body and well-being of the patient are not adversely affected by what transpires in the dentist’s chair.Īs a holistic dentist, Skovron states that, “in our office, we use practices and procedures that take care of dental needs in the safest, most natural way possible.” Heritage Dental honors a commitment to the use of metal-free dentistry. Skovron’s drive to improve patients’ experiences in her office merged with her attentiveness to patients’ other interests and concerns, leading her to research and embrace holistic dentistry.Īccording to, “Truly holistic dentists are dentists who perform dentistry that is good for the body as well as the teeth and gums.” Holistic dentistry focuses not only on treating a problem that has cropped up in a patient’s oral care, but also on preventive measures. Heritage Dental even makes its own organic lip balm. While patients are in the dentist chair, they can put on headphones and select from a choice of soothing imagery and music. Increasingly, Skovron began to incorporate spa-like elements into her practice, elements such as an aromatherapy diffuser, massage chairs throughout the office, warm towels and lotions, nutrient-rich snacks and herbal teas. “My concept was to create a completely different environment-one that didn’t feel at all like a dentist’s office,” says Skovron. Beth Skovron’s inquisitive, scientific mind and compassionate heart, compelled by the desire to create a dental office unlike any other she had frequented. Staff members would greet co-workers and patients with a radiant conviviality.įortunately, innovative imagination can become reality, as evidenced by Heritage Dental, in Montgomeryville.

Nestled in the corner would be the deep, inviting cushion of a leather massage chair. KIND bars would sit next to a Keurig, perched atop a hotel-style mini-fridge housing exotic, bottled iced teas. Imagine if a state-of-the-art dentistry practice had a lovechild with a holistic spa: the light aroma of peppermint and cloves would waft pleasantly though the air as the soft whir of a nearby air purifier commingled with the ongoing susurrus produced by gentle cascades of a zen waterfall.
