About Our Practice

At the heart of MOSAIC lies the simple yet powerful belief that each patient is unique, with distinct concerns and needs. That’s why our mission is to provide the highest level of comprehensive oral and maxillofacial care in a comfortable and friendly setting. We don’t just treat dental conditions; we treat individuals.

Our practice is built on a philosophy of being results-oriented. Led by Dr. Noble, a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon, we go the extra mile to ensure that each patient receives the best care possible. Whether it’s through utilizing state-of-the-art technology for procedures such as same-day implants, or working diligently to find solutions that perfectly fit each patient’s needs, we are devoted to achieving superior results.

Our commitment to excellence goes beyond providing high-quality clinical care. We actively participate in continuing education, both as learners and educators. We are dedicated to developing new expertise in clinical care and surgical techniques as they emerge. By engaging in clinical research and publishing in both national and international journals, we make significant contributions to the future of oral and maxillofacial surgery.

In all we do, we remain deeply committed to our patients and community. As a team of individuals, we support each other in our pursuit of excellence, always guided by the belief that in advancing our field, we are helping improve the lives of those we serve. We do not just fix teeth – we change lives. And in the words of Dr. Noble, this is what makes our work akin to the greatest paradigm shift in dentistry since the amalgam fillings. It’s not just a profession, it’s our passion.

I live in Mt. Vernon, IL & was referred to Dr. Hesterberg to have a tooth extraction. He made me feel at ease & explained everything he would do. The procedure was pain free. At my follow up today he said it was healing perfectly. I highly recommend him & love that he makes you feel like a friend, instead of a patient.

I had an excellent experience here. From the initial consult to the procedure itself, the staff was friendly, calm, and very knowledgeable. Dr. Hesterberg was incredible and explained everything ahead of time, answered all my questions, and made sure I was comfortable throughout. The surgery went smoothly and recovery has been exactly as they described. I would absolutely recommend this office to anyone needing oral surgery.

I've had one molar extraction done here, a couple of years ago. Im having another one done, with an implant in a couple of weeks. These are the best people to work with! Everyone explains things so completely. When I had my prior extraction, I had little to no pain or bleeding afterwards. Dr. Noble is wonderful!

If you’re needing an oral surgeon, Dr. Noble is the man I’d recommend. Doc has removed a number of teeth, and placed a couple implants for me; and I have nothing but good things to say about not just the Dr, but his front office help is great! Actually, long ago I saw Dr. Hesterberg, and he was awesome as well! He removed my wisdom teeth, although his old office help needed some retraining in compassionate care. This MOSAIC office is top notch!! Don’t hesitate to visit this office, I’m getting ready to have Dr. Noble place more implants, and I know it will be done professionally, and I’ll receive the very best care! Update 12/17/25 had 2 additional implants placed, another excellent experience!!!

I had a dental implant done by Dr. Hesterberg. I have a very sensitive mouth and I am always scared to get dental work done. He did an amazing job, and was very gentle! I would 100% recommend going here. I had absolutely no problems and hardly any pain even the next day.

On 11/7/25 I had two teeth removed by Dr. Hesterberger. Being a nurse, I am typically the calm voice my patients hear. In this case, Dr. Hesterberger and his staff were the calm I needed that day! My procedure went well and everything was explained by Dr. Hesterberger as we went along. I highly recommend the Belleville office because they genuinely care about you and it shows in their actions!

My husband recently had two teeth pulled and a consultation for dental implants with Dr. Noble and nurse Danielle, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the level of care he received. From start to finish, both of them were incredibly kind, professional, and attentive. Dr. Noble explained every step clearly, making sure my husband felt comfortable and informed, while Danielle was so sweet and helpful, always offering reassurance and making the whole process feel less stressful. Their teamwork and compassion made what could have been a difficult experience so much easier. We truly appreciate their stellar care and would highly recommend them to anyone needing oral surgery.
