Advanced Training and Experience Worth Traveling For

Choosing a dentist for cosmetic care or full-mouth reconstruction means placing your trust in their experience, judgment, and attention to detail. Dr. Kohler brings more than 40 years of clinical experience and Mastership in the Academy of General Dentistry (MAGD), earned through more than 1,600 hours of continuing education. His long-standing experience teaching and mentoring other dentists, including at Spear Education, reflects his commitment to advancing dental care and sharing his knowledge.

Patients travel to our North Shore Chicago practice for full-mouth reconstruction because they value this thoughtful, comprehensive approach.

Dedicated to Educating Patients About Their Oral Health

Dr. Kohler is passionate about educating patients about their dental challenges and why he recommends specific treatments. Dr. Kohler thoroughly explains everything and patiently answers all your questions with professionalism.

And instead of simply telling patients what he found during their exams, this is demonstrated through visual illustrations and videos on a large screen. You’ll learn more about your teeth, bite, and gums at our dental office in Wilmette, IL, than you likely ever did at any other dentist!

We Offer Comprehensive Dental Services on Chicago’s North Shore

At Wilmette Implant & Aesthetic Center, we provide a full range of dental services at our modern and welcoming dental office. Whether you and your family need preventive care, suffer a dental emergency, or wish to improve your smile beauty, our team is dedicated to delivering dental care that restores oral function and aesthetics.

And unlike many practices that hard sell services, Dr. Kohler only recommends procedures that are necessary and explains why. For example, if you have missing teeth, you’ll undergo an in-depth evaluation to determine if dental implants are the right solution for you.

Experience a Smile Transformation with Five-Star Aesthetic Dentistry

Every smile has its own character, and your cosmetic care should reflect yours. Dr. Kohler takes time to understand your goals and evaluate your facial features, tooth proportions, and bite before recommending treatment. 

For advanced cosmetic cases, including porcelain veneers, we collaborate with a master ceramist to carefully refine the shape, shade, translucency, and texture of your restorations. This collaboration combines clinical precision with skilled ceramic artistry to create a smile that looks natural and complements your features.

Detailed Diagnostics and Technology That Help You Understand Your Care

 

Thoughtful treatment begins with a clear understanding of your oral health. Dr. Kohler combines microscope-based dentistry with advanced diagnostic imaging to examine fine details, evaluate concerns, and guide personalized treatment planning. Video-assisted examination and documentation allow him to show you what he sees, explain his findings, and help you understand the reasons behind his recommendations.

These tools support a meticulous, unhurried approach that gives you time to ask questions and make informed decisions. When local anesthesia is needed, the WAND® computer-controlled delivery system helps support your comfort. Dr. Kohler’s commitment to patient education also extends to home care through his invention of the MOTSY® LED toothbrush, designed to help you see where you’re brushing and care for your smile with greater awareness.
