Request an appointment
Tell us what you need and when suits you. We’ll get back to you to confirm a time.
In pain or swollen? Please call us at 519-885-1598 so we can see you as soon as possible.
First visits that build good habits
By around age 3 most children have their full set of baby teeth and are old enough to sit in the chair, or on a parent’s lap, for a short look.
The first appointment is short and relaxed. If your child only lets us take a quick peek, that still counts as a good first visit.
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.

What we look for as they grow
Care that keeps up with growing teeth.
Early signs of decay
A chalky white spot on a front tooth can often be treated with fluoride and better brushing.
Sealants and fluoride
Sealants protect the grooves of back teeth, and fluoride helps strengthen enamel.
Cleaning and coaching
We clean the spots small hands miss, then show your child, and you, how to brush them.
They do more than you’d think
Baby teeth hold space for the adult teeth coming in behind them, help children chew properly and learn to speak clearly. Some of the back ones stay until age eleven or twelve.
- Checkups and cleanings
- Sealants and fluoride
- Tooth coloured fillings
- Sports guards
- Help if your child hurts a tooth

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
When should my child first see a dentist?
We recommend a first visit around age 3.
What happens at the first visit?
It’s short and relaxed. If your child only lets us take a quick peek, that still counts.
Do you do sealants?
Yes. Sealants protect the grooves of back teeth, and fluoride helps strengthen enamel.
What if my child hurts a tooth?
Call us the same day. If an adult tooth is knocked out, pick it up by the crown, keep it in milk and come straight in.
Is my child’s care covered?
We bill most plans directly and accept the CDCP, which covers eligible children.
