While Dr. Kozal is well-versed in general dentistry, he also recognizes the importance of specialized care.

What Professional Dental Care Can Mean for Your Family
Having a dental team that you can trust to treat every member of your family can provide many advantages to their health, happiness, and overall well-being. When visiting our office, you can expect to receive essential dental care in a comfortable, compassionate, and welcoming environment.
Our dentist skillfully treats children, adults, and seniors. He believes in taking the time to build trusting relationships with every individual. This attention creates positive experiences, greater confidence, and healthier oral hygiene habits. Dr. Kozal and his team will continue to protect your family’s smiles as their oral health needs change with age.
As a family dental practice, all oral health needs, goals, and concerns are cared for in one convenient location. This means no more juggling appointments with different providers or traveling back and forth to various dental offices.
Compassionate Dental Care for Children
Introducing your young child to our dentist and the office environment is vital to their care now and for the future. We encourage you to bring your child in for their first visit as soon as baby teeth erupt, or no later than their first birthday. Dr. Kozal uses these visits to show kids there is nothing to fear from regular dental care.
We work closely with you to help your kids feel relaxed and safe during appointments. When they feel relaxed and comfortable, it makes routine exams and cleanings easier. A positive relationship contributes to a lifetime of good oral hygiene habits and informed decisions regarding their dental care.
Why Dental Care is Essential at Every Age
Oral health concerns do not discriminate against age. While specific issues, like tooth decay, are often more common in children, this doesn’t mean that regular dental care is any less critical as an adult.
Having a dental care team that treats every member of your family means we can provide comprehensive care based on dental and medical history, lifestyle habits, and even shared genetic profiles.
Having access to specific details allows Dr. Kozal to keep your loved ones safe through effective treatments that can quickly adapt to changing needs.
Diverse Dental Care for Adults & Seniors
Adult and senior smiles often have the most diverse needs. Our Oak Lawn family dentist offers many services designed to address a wide range of concerns. We help improve dental function and appeal, and protect natural teeth whenever possible. These solutions often include:
Cosmetic Dentistry – Our cosmetic services can both improve and protect your smile. Our take-home teeth whitening uses powerful whitening agents to eliminate surface stains while producing beautiful, safe, and effective results. We use porcelain veneers to address multiple issues at once, providing you with a Hollywood-worthy smile that looks and feels completely natural.
Restorations – We provide many treatments to treat decay, damage, infection, and replace missing teeth. White composite fillings are ideal for addressing small amounts of decay or damage. When bacteria and infection compromise the tooth, we provide root canal therapy to save natural tooth structure whenever possible.
Extractions – Removing teeth may be necessary due to severe damage or infection. We provide beautiful and durable crowns, bridges, and denture restorations to restore one to all missing teeth in your smile.
Prevention – Preventive dentistry includes bi-annual dental cleanings, exams, and taking digital x-rays to protect your smile from common oral health concerns. We use appointments to discuss oral hygiene best practices and provide tips for improving oral health.
Dr. Kozal believes preventive care should keep your smile healthy while treating potential issues before they turn into serious concerns.
Gum Disease Treatment & Maintenance
At John F. Kozal, DDS, we can detect, diagnose, and treat gum disease with scaling and root planing, and maintenance cleanings. While more common in adults and seniors, gum infection can also affect children and teens. Our dentist can easily customize treatments for younger and adolescent smiles as well.
Our hygienists perform tooth scaling to remove dental plaque tartar buildup above and below the gum line. During root planing, they gently smooth tooth roots to encourage gum tissue reattachment and promote proper healing. Maintenance cleanings can be scheduled every three months for more advanced gum disease treatment.
