I had an appointment for a regular check-up and cleaning at Highland Dentistry on Hwy 280. I was greeted by the desk clerk and seated. The office and rooms were clean and well furnished with very nice up to date equipment. Within a short time, I was greeted by the technician who took x-rays and then brought me to another room for my cleaning. I was highly pleased with the technician who was so pleasant, checked my mouth, and proceeded with the cleaning. There was no discomfort. I was in and out within an hour, thanks to a well-trained technician. The office is in a very convenient location off Hwy 280.

The staff was amazing. The front desk was sweet, polite and very friendly. Dr. Swicord and his assistant made me feel very comfortable and at ease and they were friendly, caring and honest with me. I would recommend anyone who need a root canal to see Dr. Swicord.

Three days after my birthday, my front tooth fell out and I was panicking. I had vacation coming up. I called Highland Dentistry, expecting a long wait, and they got me in the very next day. The root turned out to be way back and the dentist worked for four hours straight. But Dr. Dillon’s and her team were amazing! They were kind, funny, and kept me calm. Zero pain. Her assistants were, dare I say, the BEST! I I was nervous about costs, but Sarah walked me through coverage and payments and made it manageable. Best dental experience I’ve ever had. Real superheroes of the dental world. Truly 12 out of 10. Highly recommend.

When I first went to Highland Dentistry, I had loose teeth from clenching, my bite was off, and I was embarrassed to smile. After visiting 2 dental practices in Chelsea (they wanted to remove all of my teeth and give me dentures), Dr. Swikord is the only Dentist who would take on my complicated case. Yesterday, I walked out of the office, and I looked like a movie star. He straightened my teeth, realigned my bite, and for the first time I was not embarrassed to smile. Everyone is so sweet at this practice, and I would highly recommend everyone going to see them.
