A gap affects more than your smile
A missing tooth can make chewing harder, and over time the teeth beside the gap can drift and the bone underneath can shrink.
An implant is a small post placed in the jawbone where the root used to be. Once it has bonded with the bone, it holds a crown that looks and works like a natural tooth. It doesn’t rely on the teeth beside it, so they don’t need to be filed down the way they would for a bridge.
Care that fits your life
Six reasons west Kitchener families choose Highland Kitchener Dentist.
Same day appointments
We set aside time every day for urgent problems, so a toothache doesn’t have to wait for the next open checkup.
Evening hours
Open until 7 pm Monday to Thursday, and from 8 am on Fridays.
Direct billing and CDCP
We bill most dental plans directly, so in most cases you only pay the part your plan doesn’t cover. CDCP patients welcome.
A fully digital practice
Digital X-rays and scans help us plan treatment and show you exactly what we see.
Gentle with nervous patients
Tell us what worries you most. Nitrous oxide takes effect within a few minutes and wears off within minutes when the mask comes off.
Easy to reach
On Highland Rd W, handy for Forest Heights, Westmount and Belmont, with easy parking.
Dr. Vanesa Tomic
Dr. Tomic takes the time to understand each patient’s needs and concerns, then builds a treatment plan around them. Her approach is gentle and patient centred.
From routine checkups and preventive care to cosmetic dentistry and more complex procedures, she’s committed to continuing education and to the latest advances in dentistry.

Several visits over a few months, each with a purpose.
Consultation

Restoration
We attach a custom crown matched to your other teeth.
Is an implant right for you?
- Adults missing one or more teeth
- People who want a fixed option rather than a removable denture
- Patients with healthy gums, or gum disease that has been treated
- Patients with enough bone, or who can have a bone graft first
If a tooth has been missing for a while, the bone may have thinned. A bone graft rebuilds the area so there is enough support. We’ll tell you honestly whether an implant is the right fit.
Rated 4.9 by 82 patients on Google
“Dr Vanessa and her team are amazing! The work she does is just awesome. Highly recommended!”
“Called this afternoon with severe pain, they got me in same day and I had the tooth removed. Every person I spoke to was nothing but kind and amazing.”
“I appreciate that this location has parking that is easy to access, and Nedal provided one of the best cleaning experiences I have had.”
In pain right now?
Severe pain, swelling, a broken or knocked out tooth, or bleeding that won’t stop: call us the same day. We set aside time every day for urgent problems.
If swelling is spreading quickly or you have trouble breathing or swallowing, go to a hospital emergency department.
Before you call
Does getting an implant hurt?
The implant is placed with the area frozen. We’ll go over what to expect afterwards at your consultation.
How long does the whole process take?
The bone bonds with the implant over the following months, then we attach the crown. If you need a bone graft first, that adds time. We’ll give you a timeline at your consultation.
Do I need a bone graft?
Not always. If the bone has thinned where a tooth has been missing for a while, a graft rebuilds it. Sometimes it’s done when a tooth is removed, sometimes a few months before the implant.
How do I care for an implant?
Brush and floss around it like a natural tooth, and keep up with your regular checkups and cleanings.
Will insurance cover implants?
Coverage varies a lot between plans. We explain the costs at your consultation and can help you check with your plan.
