Services
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns restore damaged teeth' strength and appearance. Our high-quality, natural-looking crowns protect weakened teeth from further damage while maintaining your smile's aesthetics. Custom-fitted to match your existing teeth, this procedure typically requires one visit using advanced CEREC technology for same-day results.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening treatments effectively remove stains and discoloration. We offer KoR whitening systems with custom trays for at-home maintenance. Results show noticeable improvement within weeks, with options for sensitive teeth formulations to ensure comfortable treatment for all patients.
Mercury Removal
Safe mercury filling removal follows IAOMT SMART protocols to minimize exposure. Using specialized suction and protective barriers, we replace old amalgam fillings with biocompatible composite materials. This process reduces potential health risks while improving your smile's natural appearance.
Gum Disease Treatment
Comprehensive gum disease treatment includes scaling and root planing to remove plaque buildup. We employ non-surgical techniques to restore gum health and prevent tooth loss. Regular maintenance visits help control infection and maintain oral-systemic wellness connections.
Emergency Care
Same-day emergency appointments address broken teeth, infections, and severe pain. Our team provides immediate relief through temporary restorations or pain management before scheduling definitive treatment. Prompt care prevents complications from dental trauma or sudden oral health crises.

I really appreciate that Dr Kozica has made every effort to make his office safe for his patients during this Covid 19 crisis. He seems to always be "out front" in the use of the latest dental technology in serving his patients and making the procedures near painless. I highly recommend him and his practice.

Dr. Kozica and his staff are first class professionals. They choose high quality service over high quantity, and it is reflected in the high level of care they give all of their patients. I give Kozica Dental my full recommendation.

Love this dentist office - so much that I travel 1hr each way for their services. I chose Kozica Dental primarily to help me SAFELY remove my amalgam fillings. I didn't entrust this process to just any dentist, but someone that was properly trained and certified in doing so. My teeth look much better, I'm starting to feel better as well (amalgam fillings are horrible for the body due to their high mercury content). I trust Dr. Kozica's judgement when it comes to my dental health. I'm grateful for him and all the staff with putting me on track towards good overall health. Thank you.

Extremely helpful and kind staff! They really pay attention to their patients. It's nice to walk into the dentist office and not feel like you're gonna "get yelled at" because you haven't been flossing as well as you should be and you haven't gotten a cleaning in a year and a half. They understand life happens. They are kind and informative, and instead of making you feel bad they educate you and tell you what you can do to improve. It's never negative. I have found my dentist for life!

My family and I are all patients at Kozica Dental and we highly recommend this office! The staff is great and Dr Kozica is an excellent dentist. Our four year old had her first dental appointment there yesterday. The hygienist took the time to familiarize our daughter with all of the equipment, giving them all child friendly names, so our daughter was comfortable during the entire appointment. In fact, she can't wait to return there again in the fall!
