Dr. Kogan has dedicated his state of the art spa-like dental practice to his patients who are seeking to improve, renew, and rehabilitate not only their smile, but also their overall health. Dr. Kogan practices dentistry which takes into account the whole person and recognizes that dental conditions and procedures impact a person’s general health and well-being. The health of the mouth and the health of the body simply cannot be separated, Dr. Kogan maintains.
With that in mind, Dr. Kogan practices Minimally Invasive dentistry, or Microdentistry. The goal of minimally invasive dentistry is to conserve healthy tooth structure. It focuses on prevention, remineralization, and minimal dentist intervention. Using scientific advances and specific techniques, minimally invasive dentistry allows Dr. Kogan to perform the least amount of dentistry needed while never removing more of the tooth structure than is required to restore teeth to their normal condition. In addition, in minimally invasive dentistry, long-lasting dental materials are used in order to conserve the maximum tooth structure so the need for future repairs is reduced.
Dr. Kogan is passionate about creating beautiful and healthy smiles using this as a guiding principle. He believes in combining the most natural and minimally invasive treatment available with the latest technologies and rejuvenating relaxing spa environment in order to provide his patients with the optimal oral health and for life.
