Highland Dental Studio

Dr Drone is absolutely one of the best in his field. He was the first dentist I have seen in my 30+ years of dealing with constant dental issues that came up with a permanent solution that ended up exceeding any of my expectations. Everyone that works in that office is so helpful and accommodating and makes you feel like you are the most important patient in the whole practice.

Dr. Drone and team are the epitome of professionalism and expertise. I really appreciate how everyone I have been in contact with at both their Valparaiso and Highland office, are so attentive and well versed on their practice and procedures. Their offices are clean, bright and soothing and I enthusiastically recommend them to anyone seeking a dental professional to put them at ease.

I wanted to take a few minutes to share my experience in hopes that it may make others more at ease with, what is a very big step in their lives. I first went to Dr. Drone with absolutely no idea exactly what my options were going forward. I had been a “grinder” for years but had not gotten the attention required to stop the destruction of my own teeth. Having not had a cavity until the age of 35, I took my good fortune for granted. My problems had started over a decade before our first meeting, my teeth were in pretty bad shape. They had been ground down to the point that not only did they look terrible, but nearly all my teeth had been compromised structurally. Dr. Drone informed me that he could repair my own teeth, but the underlying issues of decay would persist. I was in line for several root canals going forward. And that was just for starters.

Dr. Drone suggested a total replacement plan with several options. I chose a plan, with his guidance, that would be suitable for me personally and my lifestyle. During this time I had calls from doctor well after hours that were, as he explained, “Because he just had to make sure everything was perfect”. I then had 32 teeth pulled in one day! And at the same time had 7 implants put in my jaw. There is no way to sugar coat this experience. It was a challenge for the next six months while I waited for the healing process to be completed. Dr. Drone and his staff were very supportive during this time. Dr. Drone's attention to detail during the selection process and his clear communication as to what I should expect was right on! This was a huge step in my life.

I feel now that I couldn’t have made a better choice in the path I took, or the Doctor I chose. I truly had the feeling that Dr. Drone's main goal was improving my quality of life first. What more could you ask for from a doctor? And by the way I do have a new million dollar smile as well. Which also now allows me to eat absolutely ANYTHING! I can’t thank Dr. Drone and his staff enough. Not only for their professional attention. But making me feel at ease every time I walked into the office. THANK YOU!!
