Restorative Dentistry

Highland Dental Clinic is a practice built around functional esthetics, which means Dr. Dhillon focuses on making your smile look amazing and also function comfortably in daily life. If you have been struggling with decayed, worn, broken, or missing teeth, she can perform a number of restorative procedures to rejuvenate your mouth. We'll also look at how your teeth fit together, which is called your 'bite' or 'occlusion', to make sure your jaw and teeth are in the optimal position. Often, issues of the bite and jaw can cause distress to the jaw joints and result in headaches, pain in the neck and shoulders, and other complications. Diagnosing and addressing these problems has relieved many of our patients from chronic pain.

From crowns to dental implants to full-mouth reconstruction, Dr. Dhillon's restorative dentistry procedures build a solid smile designed to last. We also work with porcelain and tooth-colored composite materials when providing restorations like veneers, crowns, and dental fillings, so the all-white aesthetic of your smile can be preserved.

We find that many patients are reluctant to schedule a dental appointment until they experience discomfort, tooth loss, or other unavoidable issues. Don't wait till a problem gets too big to ignore. We're here to help. Our caring and understanding team will never judge you based on your mouth's condition or for being apprehensive.

We gladly offer sedation options to those who are nervous about visiting the dentist, or who may need to consolidate extensive restorative treatment

Crowns

Also referred to as 'caps', crowns are commonly used to repair and protect broken, decayed, or worn teeth. If Dr. Dhillon finds that a crown is appropriate in your situation, she will prepare the damaged tooth by removing the affected tooth structure, and then fit a crown snugly over the remaining portion.

The appearance of a crown can vary significantly depending on the dentist, laboratory, and materials used. We realize that beautiful restorations are an art and a science, and we are committed to employing only the finest materials and using trusted dental laboratories when creating your beautiful custom restorations. Dr. Dhillon can personalize the size, shape, color and translucency of your porcelain crown to preserve your natural-looking smile right here in our Kitchener office.

Dental Implants

Losing teeth can be detrimental not only to your health, but also your social self-confidence. If you are facing the hurdles that an incomplete set of teeth can pose to your day-to-day life, consider dental implants. This revolutionary tooth-replacement solution provides the most lifelike, longest-lasting result available.

Dental implant posts provide a strong foundation with which Dr. Dhillon replaces missing teeth. Coupled with restorations that look and function like your natural teeth, dental implants are designed to blend seamlessly with your smile. Implants are made of biocompatible metal, and directly attached or implanted into the jaw bone, resulting in a replacement that closely resembles natural teeth. D ental implants offer superior strength, reduce bone loss, and don't compromise surrounding healthy teeth, as other types of restorations do. Whether replacing a single tooth or a complete arch, implants offer many benefits over other tooth replacement options

Dr. Dhillon works with experienced oral surgeons, coordinating your care through each step of the process. Once the surgeon has placed the implant or implants, Dr. Dhillon can top it with an artistically fabricated restoration, like a single crown, a bridge, or even a full denture.

If you're unhappy with your current bridge, denture or partial, ask us how dental implants can firmly secure your restoration and give you back the freedom to smile, laugh, and eat what you like. Experience the freedom that you enjoyed with natural teeth!

Veneers

One of the most popular cosmetic dentistry procedures, porcelain veneers are one of the most effective ways to transform dull, cracked, stained, or misshapen teeth into a fantastic, unforgettable smile.

Veneers are thin shells of dental porcelain that are firmly adhered to the front teeth. Translucent and precisely fabricated to create your ideal smile, lifelike porcelain veneers require the trained and artistic eye of a cosmetic dentist like Dr. Dhillon.

When you choose porcelain veneers, Dr. Dhillon will hold a private consultation with you at our Melbourne practice to discuss your ideal smile, and will recommend the best way to achieve the results you want. At your veneer appointment, a very thin layer will be removed from the front of any teeth which will receive veneers. Temporary veneers will be put in place until your permanent veneers arrive from the specialized laboratory. At your second visit, Dr. Dhillon will cement your custom porcelain veneers permanently into place.
