General Dentistry
General Dentistry focuses on preventive care, early diagnosis, and treatment of common dental issues. Our practice emphasizes regular check-ups, digital X-rays, and professional cleanings to maintain optimal oral health. We address tooth decay, gum disease, and minor restorations while educating patients on proper hygiene techniques. This service caters to patients of all ages seeking foundational dental care to prevent future complications.
Emergency Dentistry
Emergency Dentistry provides immediate treatment for acute dental trauma or severe pain. We handle broken teeth, lost fillings, abscesses, and knocked-out teeth using advanced diagnostic tools and pain management techniques. Our team prioritizes rapid intervention to alleviate discomfort and prevent permanent damage. Patients experiencing sudden dental crises can expect prompt, compassionate care to stabilize their condition and restore oral function.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic Dentistry improves the appearance of teeth through procedures like veneers, bonding, and teeth whitening. We address discoloration, chips, and misalignment to create aesthetically pleasing smiles. Our approach combines artistic skill with technical precision, using high-quality materials for natural-looking results. This service targets patients seeking to boost confidence through enhanced dental aesthetics and symmetry.
Dental Implants
Dental Implants offer permanent solutions for missing teeth through titanium post integration into the jawbone. We provide single or multiple tooth replacements with crowns, bridges, or dentures. The process involves detailed planning using 3D imaging to ensure proper placement and longevity. Patients benefit from restored chewing function, facial structure preservation, and a natural appearance that blends seamlessly with existing teeth.
Invisalign
Invisalign straightens teeth using custom-made, removable clear aligners. We create personalized treatment plans with digital scans to gradually reposition teeth without traditional braces. The nearly invisible trays allow for comfortable wear and easy maintenance of oral hygiene. This service appeals to teens and adults seeking discreet orthodontic correction for crowding, spacing, or bite issues.

Dr. Kohler is by far the best dentist I have ever had. I've had a good bit of work done lately and each time I am left feeling like I just had a world-class experience from a true expert. He's patient, skilled, gentle, and explains what he is doing very well. Beyond that, his staff and office team are awesome. I also purchased a unique teeth-cleaning system he invented, which has really helped. Very good COVID protocols, too: High quality HEPA filters, staff wear good masks. 10/10.

Dr. Kohler is a spectacular dentist! Dr. Kohler will do anything he possibly can to save your teeth and try to prevent you from having major issues in the future. Dr. Kohler has not just helped fix my teeth but has motivated me to take care of my teeth now more than ever. Dr. Kohler is an expert with teeth traction. If you want a perfect bite, this is the place to visit. Staff is super friendly and very helpful. The office is very helpful when I've had emergency issues or needed a quick adjustment.

What a great experience! Dr. Kohler is very passionate and driven about his work. He loves what he does and it shows. Check out his MOTSY invention for everyday oral care to see what I mean. Dr. Kohler pays attention to all the details and incorporates video and microscopic dentistry. He spoke about my dental X-rays in depth which showed me for the first time just how much those X-rays can communicate.

His exam was comprehensive and thorough. He was honest, direct, straightforward, and enjoyable to interact with. He is well connected in the industry and his practice uses top-notch equipment. I am so glad my wife and I went to Dr. Kohler.
