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.

My experience at Highland Dental was excellent from checking in to the routine exam with the most competent and pleasant dental hygienist and the doctor was very thorough and thoughtful. I highly recommend!
