About

Dr. Craig S. Kohler D.D.S. M.B.A. MAGD has been practicing on the North Shore of Chicago for over 30 years. His dedication to his patient's dental health is evident as he uses cutting edge technology, consistently pursues more education, and prioritizes the comfort and satisfaction of his patients.

Dr. Kohler is among the elite dentists in the country that utilize microscopes to deliver premium care for their patients, enabling him to see over 20 times better than the average dentist. This allows him to partner with his patients in helping them keep their teeth for life.

Dr. Kohler is tireless in pursuing continuing education in order to best serve his patients. In the State of Illinois only thirty-two hours of continued education per two years is required for dentists. This year alone Dr. Kohler will complete 150-200 hours of education as he firmly believes that keeping a current understanding of the leading dental techniques is vital to his practice.

Finally, Dr. Kohler understands the discomfort that many patients associate with dentistry. He prioritizes his patients comfort through the use of the Single Tooth Anesthesia System that allows the numbness to be localized to the particular area of work, preventing the mouth for being numb for hours, while blocking any pain that would otherwise result. His awareness and concern for his patient's comfort is indicative of the compassionate care that Dr. Kohler is known for.
