Get to know Dentist Dr. Adam DeCota, who serves patients in Fenton, Missouri.

A competent dentist, Dr. DeCota has spent the last 10 years developing DeCo Dental Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, an adult advanced cosmetic and rehabilitative practice. He was recently awarded the distinguished status of Mentor at the Kois Center, an Academy of General Dentistry-approved didactic and clinical program offering the latest advances in esthetics, implant and restorative dentistry.

“Becoming a Mentor has been a huge growth experience for me both personally and professionally! Not only has this training given me the skills needed to predictably and successfully restore the most complex dental problems but as I go back and teach other dentists at the Kois Center, I come away with even more knowledge. I truly consider this award a reward” expressed the doctor.

Attaining his skills through hundreds of hours of continuing education, he received his Bachelor of Arts degree and Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Missouri-Kansas City. He then went on to complete a mini-residency in implant placement from the McGarry Implant Institute, followed by the completion of F.O.R.C.E., which is the first and only extended orthodontic continuing education program patterned after a graduate school education and presented by qualified, credentialed specialists with clinical and university experience.

Continuously advancing his efforts, Dr. DeCota is an active member of the St. Louis Dental Society, Missouri Dental Association, American Dental Association, and is a proud member of the Fenton Chamber of Commerce. He has also been a member of the Seattle Study Club, taking courses at such places as the Dawson Center and The Scottsdale Center.

Dentistry, also known as Dental and Oral Medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity. Dentists diagnose and treat dental issues and help patients develop better oral hygiene regimens. They clean teeth, correct bite issues, perform surgeries and extractions, and perform other duties to ensure that the teeth and mouth are healthy.

Among his most notable achievements, Dr. DeCota was recognized in the Top 40 Dentists Under 40 in Incisal Edge Magazine.
