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.

Your emergency visit, step by step
Fast, clear and focused on getting you out of pain.
Call us first
Tell us what happened. We’ll tell you what to do before you get here and find you the soonest appointment.
Exam and X-rays
We look at the problem and take any X-rays needed to see what’s going on.
Relief first
We focus on relieving the pain and stopping the problem from getting worse.
Options explained
If more treatment is needed, we explain your options and the fees before anything else is done.
Speed matters most
Pick the tooth up by the crown, the white part you chew with, never by the root. If it’s dirty, rinse it briefly with milk or water, but don’t scrub it or wrap it in tissue. If you can’t put it back in the socket, drop it into a small container of milk and call us on the way.
Go to a hospital emergency department if swelling is spreading quickly, you have trouble breathing or swallowing, or you have a serious injury to the face or jaw.

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
Do I need to be a patient to be seen?
No. Call us and tell us what happened. We’ll do our best to fit you in.
Can you see me today?
We set aside time every day for urgent problems. Call as early in the day as you can.
What if it happens when you’re closed?
Send a request with the form above and we’ll get back to you when we open. If swelling is spreading quickly or you have trouble breathing or swallowing, go to a hospital emergency department.
What can I do for a toothache until then?
Rinse with warm salt water and floss gently around the sore tooth in case food is trapped. Never hold an aspirin or a crushed tablet against the gum: it burns the tissue.
Is emergency care covered?
Most plans cover emergency exams, and emergency care is among the services the CDCP covers. We explain the fees before treatment.
