Why Proactive vs. Reactive?

Traditional dentistry often waits until something breaks, then fixes it, leading to repeated crises over a lifetime. By contrast, our comprehensive approach prioritizes stability and prevention, so you’re less likely to face emergency visits or expensive procedures down the road. We want to resolve the issue correctly the first time for your comfort and your safety.

Our Evidence-Based Approach,
Inspired by Dr. John Kois

Our office operates under the Kois Center philosophy, which emphasizes a comprehensive, science-driven method of dental care. This means every treatment plan is rooted in up-to-date research and tailored to your unique circumstances—no guesswork, no “one-size-fits-all.” We look at how each part of your mouth functions together, identify risk factors, and then create a plan that manages these risks long-term. We believe in:

Simply put, we don’t just fix issues; we aim to prevent them from happening in the first place.

A Comprehensive approach creates stable, predictable oral health

At the center of our care is a thorough diagnostic process that considers a holistic view of each individual and aims to create long-term, stable oral health.  A comprehensive approach is one that considers your whole-body health alongside your unique experience with your teeth while factoring in gum health, your bite and jaw joint, and tooth health.  Considering the “big picture” allows us to plan treatments that reduce the risk of future problems, surprises, and expenses.

Our Process: Creating Stability & Comfort

The craft of dentistry is important to our team. We’re deeply motivated to create outcomes for our patients that we are proud of, both artistically and technically. To this end, we’ve developed a step-by-step approach that addresses your concerns fully rather than patching single problems in isolation.

Assess the Complete Picture

We take the time to comprehensively examine, diagnose, and consult with our patients to allow them to fully understand their condition, what it means for them, and the options for treatment. We listen to understand your needs, where you’re coming from, and what’s important to you.

Risk Assessment

Next, we evaluate your unique risk factors. For instance, are you prone to gum disease or tooth decay? Do you grind your teeth? Do you have a systemic condition affecting oral health? By pinpointing these risks early, we can design a plan that stops issues before they manifest.

Risk Reduction

We plan treatment with our patients to achieve their goals and address and lower their unique risks, which creates long-term, stable, predictable health. Whether it involves addressing a structurally weak tooth before it becomes an emergency, or adjusting your bite to prevent future wear, we focus on delivering long-lasting results.

Our Commitment to You

We truly see dentistry as a partnership with our patients; a long-term relationship built on trust, transparency, and genuine care. By investing in advanced technology and the most current science (including sedation options if you feel anxious), we aim to make your visits comfortable, informative, and, yes, even enjoyable. It’s about making sure you feel confident in both your smile and in the care you receive.
