Cosic Dental: From Dentistry to Well-Being™

Cosic Dental: From Dentistry to Well-Being™ is a distinguished dental practice located at 6417 E Riverside Blvd, Rockford, IL 61114. The clinic, established in 2021 when Drs. Vanja and Dunja Cosic Carlson acquired the practice from Drs. Roger and Pamela Schmidt, prides itself on a unique "whole-body wellness" approach to dentistry. This philosophy, encapsulated in their "From Dentistry to Well-Being™" motto, recognizes the intrinsic connection between oral health and overall physical and emotional well-being. The practice is known for its highly professional and friendly staff, who prioritize patient comfort and clear communication. They utilize state-of-the-art equipment, including intraoral cameras, laser dentistry, digital X-rays, and the iTero® IntraOral Scanner, to ensure precise diagnoses and effective treatments. Cosic Dental offers a comprehensive array of services, spanning general, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry. This includes routine cleanings, fillings, dental crowns (including CEREC same-day options), bridges, dentures, extractions, bone grafting, and dental implants. A cornerstone of Cosic Dental's philosophy is Holistic dentistry. This involves a focus on minimally invasive treatments, preventative care, and the use of biocompatible, mercury-free, and fluoride-free materials. They employ advanced techniques like Safe mercury removal (SMART certified), ozone therapy for infections, and utilize an Anterior Quest mercury containment system for environmental responsibility. To further support their holistic approach, Cosic Dental provides an on-staff health coach certified by the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, offering nutritional counseling and lifestyle guidance. They also offer the NuCalm system, a natural and drug-free way to alleviate dental anxiety and promote deep relaxation during appointments. Cosic Dental also specializes in cosmetic procedures such as Invisalign® clear braces (with Dr. Vanja Cosic being an Invisalign Gold Provider) and porcelain veneers. They are dedicated to serving patients of all ages, including children, with a focus on airway and nasal breathing evaluations for pediatric orthodontic needs. The clinic actively engages with the community, notably by providing free comprehensive oral screenings and services to veterans in Rockford and partnering with Carpenter's Place to assist homeless individuals. Their commitment to excellence has been recognized with awards such as the "Best Dental Clinic in Rockford for 2023" by Northwest Quarterly Magazine.
