As a dentist, I enjoy educating my patients on the importance of dental health and its impact on overall health. Its rewarding to help each of my patients achieve their best possible oral health, and build long-term relationships with them at the same time. I enjoy seeing their beautiful and healthy smiles as they conclude treatment.
I take pride in converting fearful or timid patients into willing participants in their oral health. I recently had a patient who hadnt been to a dentist in 40 years! He had a bad experienceyears agoand was traumatized as a result. One day, his dental pain became so overwhelming that he found the strength to call and come see me. Working together, and using virtually painless techniques, I was able to help him. Hes a terrific guy, who is now 100% committed to getting healthy. What a turnaround!
Since day one I have been on a never-ending quest to focus on modern dental techniques and minimallyinvasive dentistry. I am passionate about finding and understanding the leading-edge discoveries and improvements in dentistry. I was one of the first U.S. dentists to be certified in the dental laserand have lectured on 21st Century Dentistry locally, as well as in Moscow, Russia and Vilnius, Lithuania.
Im constantly expanding my knowledge through hands-on technique workshops andattendance at lectures and conferencesand by participating in oral healthcare webinars. I also stay abreast of the latest research through dental journals. We are pleased to announce that we are now a mercury-safe, mercury-free office and are Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal (SMART) certified by the IAOMT.
I served asthe Director of the Maironis Park Lithuanian Charitable Society, and I began an annual fundraising golf tournament to raise funds for college scholarships. Additionally, I have served as President and Vice-President for the Northborough Youth Travel Basketball Association. My years spentcoaching youth sports, including baseball, basketball, and football, were especially rewarding.
Im originally from Libertyville, IL. Ive spent the last 23 years living in Northborough, MAwith my wife of 28 years, and wehave two adult sons.When Im not workingor learning about advancements in dental care, Im usually spending time with my family and friends. I also enjoytraveling and playing golf.
In March youll find me passionately following college basketball. I get a thrill out of watching the games and trying to predict the winners. I have many spirited discussions with patients of all ages, who are just as passionate about their favorite teams. Its good fun!

I love meeting people who are new to our practice and hearing the latest news from those I already know. Spending my days helping people develop and maintain great oral health and smiles is very rewarding.I assist the doctor during dental procedures, supporting him and our patients. During treatment, I make sure our patients are comfortable and relaxed. I also keep them updated on how well theyre doing.
I really like getting to know our patients of all ages. Its important for me to educate my patients about oral hygiene and to help them see the connection between optimal oral health and their overall health. Though the patients are my favorite part of the job, I love working with the doctor and the teamwe greet each other with a smile every day!
Working part-time at the front deskallows me to greet and serve our patients. I also love to work behind the scenes on various projects, including developing and updating office forms and improving and facilitating new procedures.

The people at Kozica Dental are great. They are all so helpful and friendly and I am so happy to finally find a dentist with a holistic point of view who is informed about alternative practices and who really takes time with his patients. I had the most comfortable cleaning ever there just yesterday! I'm really happy I made the switch to this practice.

I really appreciate that Dr Kozica has made every effort to make his office safe for his patients during this Covid 19 crisis. He seems to always be "out front" in the use of the latest dental technology in serving his patients and making the procedures near painless. I highly recommend him and his practice.

The dental hygienist was wonderful as always, and I've had previous positive encounters with Dr Kozica but at my most recent appointment, he was incredibly rude and hurtful. I have a chronic condition, which he has long been aware of and the complications it can present, and on report out he said snarkily, "it's always something with you," as if I choose to consistently deal with health issues. He proceeded to be incredibly and unnecessarily condescending. Honestly, in spite of seeing him for some time now, it has made me question whether or not I should seek a new dentist because the last thing I need to deal with is another doctor belittling me and shaming me for health issues that in spite of my very best effort, continue to plague me.

I want to preface with the fact that I have severe dental anxiety due to a difficult experience as a child. There has been many of times in the past where I felt completely uncomfortable and walked right out of a dental visit out of panic. Apart from my anxiety, my teeth have never been great to me with cavities no matter how well I brush and floss. Dr.Kozica numbed me SO well, and spent time to explain each step of the process as we went. He let me know that if I ever needed a break just to raise my hand. It was such a calm experience, I don't feel as anxious anymore for my next filling appointment. I will recommend the office to everyone looking for a dentist as it really was a wonderful experience with both him and his assistant. Even the front desk admin is so sweet when I come in - despite it being 5pm!! My experience was a 10/10 !

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Kozica and his wonderful staff. I've been a patient of his for about 3 years now. The office is always impeccably clean, the staff is ALWAYS so friendly & professional and Dr. Kozica's work is top notch. I always walk in with anxiety (due to childhood trauma from dental visits) but I have to say, everyone there goes above & beyond to minimize my anxiety and not once has my visit been dreadful. I love them! Thank you Dr. Kozica & staff!

Polite, friendly, professional, and accommodating. Went the extra mile to find times that fit my schedule, to make sure they had all my dental records, did a very thorough first cleaning and gave me a solid treatment plan. Happy to be a new patient with them!

I saw Dr Kozica for a consultation/second opinion after a not so good experience with another local dentist. I have major ptsd when it comes to dentists. After explaining that to him, he seemed so in tune to my anxiety-even during just the preliminary exam, that I already feel less anxious for my procedures in a few weeks. Obviously I'm not looking forward to it, but I feel better going into it than usual. I am very grateful for his patience.
