ABOUT ME
Dr. Koticha says, “My goal as a periodontist is to improve my patients’ quality of life by saving the teeth they have or giving them new teeth, when needed. I want each one to be able to smile with confidence.”

“My first experience with dentistry was watching my mom, who is a dentist, work with her patients. It provides the perfect balance between working with people and working with your hands. Being able to help patients save their teeth or help replace lost teeth with the ultimate goal of restoring function is very fulfilling. I will go out of my way to ensure patients get all the information they need and want about their problems and the recommended treatment. No question is too small!”
