Originally an onion farm, Hillcrest Dental Center came about as the vision and desire of its founding doctor, Raymond G. Klockow, DDS. A local dentist who at the time ran a practice with the Clinic of Family Medicine, Dr. Klockow sought to establish a family-based practice north of Rensselaer that would be easily accessible to several communities in and out of Jasper County.
In 1997 the practice expanded with a broader variety of services, including general, cosmetic and emergency dentist services, and longer hours of operation. A second dentist was also hired, John Ahler, DDS, a local resident of the community. By 2001, Hillcrest had grown in staff and patients, making a renovation of the grounds and clinic necessary.

Services
Dentistry is founded on the principle of prevention. All patients are recommended biannual teeth cleanings and examinations. Not only do they help you quash dental problems before they arise, they leave your gums healthier, and your teeth cleaner and whiter. A professional teeth cleaning removes hard plaque that cannot be removed by brushing and flossing alone.
If you have a damaged or decayed tooth, our dentists can help you choose the best solution. Crown and bridge options include custom-fitted tooth prosthetics that function and look like natural, healthy teeth. Veneers are a less invasive alternative, but may only be a solution for those with slight tooth damage or discoloration.
Missing teeth can make your cheeks look hollow and your mouth look sunken. More importantly, your diet can suffer. Those missing multiple teeth in a row may want to consider dentures for both cosmetic purposes and overall wellness. Depending on the amount of teeth missing, we may suggest partial or full dentures.
Our dentists make every effort to preserve your natural teeth. However, extractions are necessary when decay has made the tooth unsalvageable or when you have an advanced periodontal disease. When a tooth is malformed, damaged, impacted or ingrown, different procedures are used, but all extractions are considered dental surgery.
Used to prevent the spread of tooth decay or correct any cosmetic damage, a tooth filling is just one of the ways our dentists preserve your health. Before placement, any rot must be drilled out. We offer local anesthesia along with sedation to ensure maximum comfort for our patients.
There are two different types of tooth fillings: amalgam (otherwise known as silver fillings) and composite resin, the color of which can be customized to match your natural teeth.Made up of silver, copper, mercury, and tin, amalgam fillings are the most durable and economical option for our patients.
