Dr. Christopher LaTocha graduated from Mackinaw City High School in 1984. He attended Central Michigan University where he completed requirements for Pre-Dental education. While there, his emphasis of study was Biology, Chemistry and Psychology. He was then accepted to Ohio State University College of Dentistry, where he completed his graduation requirements six months early.
Dr. LaTocha opened his first of three office locations in Mackinaw City in March of 1992. Mackinaw City was always home to the LaTocha family. The choice to return to the area stemmed from his love of the lakes and the desire to enjoy Michigans opportunities for hunting and fishing. Dr. LaTochas commitment to quality, as well as his extensive continuing-education background, exemplify a small town office with many advantages for patient care and state-of-the-art equipment and procedures. As you read through the website, you will find that Dr. LaTocha is committed to integrating the latest technology into his dental practice.
Dr. LaTocha has since moved his practice to Alanson, a better central location for many of his patients, while remaining close to his northern patients. In addition, Dr. LaTocha offers many procedures to the dental consumer, because he can perform many procedures that are typically offered only by specialists. His extensive continuing education in the fields of emergencies, state-of-the-art dental implants, orthodontics (braces), and options for tooth replacement, represent his commitment to evolving educational advances in the field of Dentistry.
