Craig S Kohler, DDS, MBA, MAGD

Painless! Just had a filling completed… rare these days with their thorough preventative oversight. The small crack was due to grinding, and since he caught it right away, he was able to save my tooth. I asked to see the video of the procedure after he finished, and was glad he made it all better!
When Dr. Kohler is with me, I have his full concentration, care and expertise throughout because he is passionate about people and dentistry. His carefully selected and trained staff works seamlessly and professionally. This office is a rare blend of skill, sincere caring, and intelligence across the board.

Wonderful staff, Dr Kohler is the best in the area. He uses the latest hi tech equipment to examine your teeth and does his job with a lot of professionalism.
Prices are in line with with the quality of the services provided.
Very recommended.

Absolutely wonderful, kind, caring and highly talented dentist. If you are looking for a cleaning, a checkup or consultation for cosmetic dentistry strongly consider making an appointmnet with Dr. Kohler.
His staff is top notch and knowledgeable– you really cant go wrong here. Get your new smile on!

I never would have guessed a guy like Dr. Kohler would be shady, but he is. He signed me up for Invisalign in October. I asked him repeatedly if there was any option lower than the price point I was paying, since I was only getting five trays (for an extremely minor adjustment). He told me no, and reiterated that there were only two price points to Invisalign per that company (which was out of his hands): the ten-​trays-​and-​under price and ten-​trays-​and-​over price.
Well, in a sudden change of life circumstances, my husband got a job across the country and we had to move during the course of my treatment. Finding a new dentist to monitor my Invisalign on the west coast would be no problem. .. if Dr. Kohler had been truthful. After some investigation, it turns out he signed me up for the FIVE tray Invisalign treatment, which he had lied about even existing, charged me for the ten-​tray package and pocketed the difference.
I called him on this bs and he stumbled a bit, but eventually refunded me close to the difference I paid and was extremely rude about it. I was still out much more money than had he just been forthright with me from the beginning, but I have bigger worries in my life than chasing a few hundreds dollars from this guy.
The work he does is okayish but I do NOT recommend him.
EDIT — Dr. Kohler’s office has responded, but don’t believe a word of it. If they were innocent in this deal, they wouldn’t have paid me off, would they?

I’ve been a patient here for a few years, and continue to be impressed by the quality of care, and state of the art technology. I have decided to bring my young kids from their normal pediatric dentist to Dr. Kohler, because I know they will be getting the best possible dental care!

I visited Dr. Kohler after a 9-​month hiatus — I know, I know — and this was the best experience I’ve ever had with a dentist. I went in for a simple cleaning and left there feeling like had been at a spa. I cannot tell you how comfortable I felt and how welcoming everyone was from the second I walked in.
It started with the receptionist asking if my commute was stress free and asking if she could get me anything before my exam. Then, one of the nurses walked over, helped carry my purse, coat, etc. (I was filling out paperwork) to the next room so she could take a full set of x-​rays. When I say full set, I mean the machine spun around my head. At this point, I’m already impressed with their level of technology in-​house. I was then taken to the exam room where the doctor pulled up the films on a flat-​screen TV and went through the status of each tooth with which he had concerns. He was able to click on the teeth and show me up-​close, 2D why he was concerned. Clearly, they’re not lacking in their software either.
Dr. K then followed up with a full exam of my jaw, even sticking his fingers in my ears to make sure the joint was in good shape — I have NEVER had a dentist ask about my jaw. After feeling around the muscles of my jawline, the first thing he said was, «you’re a clencher, huh?» He then explained how everything was connected and why certain teeth were getting filed down and others seemed completely fine. I, of course, had a zillion questions, all of which he answered without rushing through. Again, just the best exam I’ve ever experienced, and I’m pretty loyal to my dentists (the last one recently retired).
Next was the actual cleaning with the hygienist, I believe her name was Susan/​Suzy. Susan could not have made me feel any more relaxed. From her soothing tone to her reassurance of a no-​pain strategy, I was melted into that chair and ready to go. She started with a cancer screening… A CANCER SCREENING. I have NEVER had a hygienist do a cancer screening. She explained each step and asked if I was comfortable with how things were progressing. When it was time for the polish, Susan asked about a using a new technology they had that was much faster, but a little awkward for a first time experience. It’s basically a power sander that doesn’t harm the teeth… amazing! Umpteen days later and my teeth are still slick and smooth! Throughout the cleaning she talked to me about random things and by the time I knew it, the cleaning was over. I was relaxed and refreshed, and ready for my day.
I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Kohler and his staff to anyone. My husband is scheduled to go in next week and is actually looking forward to it. If you’re looking for a new dentist, give this office a try!

Each time I go back to the dentist I am more impressed each time. Dr. Kolher goes above and beyond his peers in the industry by staying on top of the latest technologies that keep his patients not only more comfortable but also gives us a higher standard of dentistry. I am 100% satisfied with his work and his staff.

I moved to the area a year ago and searched for a quality dentist. I found that with Dr. Kohler. His staff is extremely friendly and he is professional. He is updated on recent technologies used in dentistry. He us an educator to others in the profession, which I find to be an asset. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Kohler has been my dentist for over 12 years and I have never been dissatisfied once. His staff is very personable and knows what they are doing. He always has the highest quality equipment in his office to get the most accurate results in anything he is doing. I moved to the city a few years ago and I still travel to the suburbs, and will continue to.
I recently had 2 veneers replace two of my front four teeth and it was the best decision I have ever made. You can’t tell the difference between my actual teeth and the veneers. My friends and family can’t even tell the difference, and now they all want to do it. It was painless and he wouldn’t let me out of the chair until they were 100% perfect (which they are). I highly recommend Dr. Kohler for anything you may need!

A pleasant doctor at the most. I felt that he had a pretty extreme assessment of my teeth, without barely touching them. IN addition, gave a very suggestive «heads up» to the hygenist (sp) as well. He was quick to judge my previous dentist based on xrays forwarded over and was basically assuring me he had the best equipment and my other dentist was outdated (not the case at all). I felt he used a lot of scare tactics to have work done on my teeth.
Overall meh. I didn’t go through any work with him and won’t be going back.

Craig Kohler has been my dentist for over 25 years. In that time I have seen him become the premier dentist not only on the North Shore but in the country. He uses the most cutting edge technology available. He is often asked to teach other dentists. If you are in search of a wonderful dentist who happens to be the best at what he does you must see him!

I met Dr. Kohler a few months ago and decided to make the switch after having some issues with some recently redone fillings. Turned out the old fillings weren’t done very well and I had new cavities under the new fillings… sweet!
He does the most thorough exams I’ve ever seen. He even uses this cool video/​exam camera and then shows you on a large LCD TV what he’s doing and why. He has a great pain control system, you barely even notice the needle, so if you’re pain-​phobic, DDS. Kohler is your guy.
A couple of my teeth had some major work (see other reviews) and he’s great at making sure you have the best opinions and specialists view your mouth.
Simply put, he’s more than a tooth doctor. His goal is to have you keep your teeth and to put a great smile on your face.
