Dr. Hightower has over 20 years of experience and a passion for creating meaningful patient relationships. Originally from Pickering, Ontario, and Linstead, Jamaica, she discovered dentistry at age 13 after her uncle sparked her curiosity. With a love for science and a desire for a career that offered both fulfillment and work-life balance, she found her calling in dentistry. Dr. Hightower first attended the University of the West Indies to study Natural Sciences before moving to the U.S. There, she earned her dental degree from the Howard University College of Dentistry and followed her formal training with an Advanced General Residency. She has practiced throughout the Washington Metropolitan area, gaining experience in both general and pediatric settings. Over the years, she’s become especially drawn to restorative and cosmetic dentistry because of its power to bring joy and brighter smiles. For these reasons, she regularly pursues continuing education in these fields to continue building her skills. She's also certified in Invisalign and Six Month Smiles, allowing her to provide orthodontic treatment alongside other beautifying procedures. Whether she’s caring for her younger patients or chatting with seniors about their lives, Dr. Hightower believes everyone deserves a healthy, beautiful smile and a relaxing experience at the dentist. Her philosophy is to take a more conservative, minimalist approach while making sure every treatment plan is fully individualized to the particular patient. Outside of work, she enjoys reading books about esoteric subjects, herbology, astrology, history, and civics, traveling to new places, and reading texts from ancient civilizations. She also used to scuba dive.
