Koch Aesthetic Dentistry
John Paul Koch, DMD:
Practice Profile Page

My experience at Koch Aesthetic Dentistry was exactly what I hoped it would be. From the relaxing atmosphere to the kind and knowledgeable staff – it made going to the dentist easy. Dr. Koch is patient and easy to talk to. Yvette, my dental hygienist was so sweet and taught me so much about the importance of gum and dental hygiene. Five star experience for sure!

I have major anxiety issues. When I went to Dr. Koch, I had been through 3 or 4 dentists, but never let any of them touch me. I was always talked down to by dentists & their staff because of my anxiety attacks, & the only sedation dentists I could find either only did IV or wouldn’t do all of my procedures while I was sedated. & so I gave up for a few years. I decided to give it another shot last year, & found Dr. Koch. I had 2 cavities & a baby tooth that was still hanging in there after 20 years, & my goal was to be able to get braces. I called the office & the receptionist was so kind & helpful. She said to come in for a consultation, & I was able to sit down with Dr. Koch & one of the assistants & explain my fears. He sat there & walked me through every single process & what to expect. He built trust with me & him & his staff made me feel so comfortable, & they maintained the most upbeat, positive, & supportive attitudes even when I was feeling anxious. I took my small (& inexpensive) sedation pills, went in, had the procedures done, got taken home, & I slept it off. No anxiety, no pain, no memory of anything that happened. Everyone at Koch Aesthetic knows me by name & even where I work & my student life. Dr. Koch referred me to the orthodontist he used for his own kids, & I now have my braces. I reached my goal thanks to Dr. Koch. Can’t say enough good about him & his staff. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to be my dentist.

My family and I call Dr. Koch, Dr. Rolls-Royce, because he is the best of the best! My first impression of Dr. Koch, was that he genuinely cares about people and to this day he has continued to care for me as a patient and a friend. I had to get two teeth implants and multiple veneers. It is always a little scary getting work done on your teeth, but Dr. Koch has a creative mind and is able to envision the end result before the work even begins! Every week I get compliments on how beautiful my teeth are and I owe that all to Dr. Koch and his amazing staff. I have truly been blessed by them and I love my smile!

Dr. Koch is the best dentist you can ever find! Him and his staff actually cares about what you want and how you are feeling. They take care of you and want to make sure everything you want is met and that you are satisfy all the way. The office is completely clean and atmosphere is indescrible. Dr. Koch and all of his staff were very gentle while doing my services and always made sure that I was comfortable at all times. Its been years since I have been to a dentist office but they never made me feel bad or judge how my mouth was. I am terrified of pain and I must say, the whole process of working on my teeth, I have never felt a thing. If you are scared of the dentist because of past expericense, you need to give Dr. Koch a visit. He will NOT disappoint you. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

I was born with Hypodontia, the developmental absence of one or more teeth. In other words, one of my permanent teeth never came in. Consequently, I had a baby tooth until I was 20 years old. It was a major insecurity for me as it was a glaring imperfection right in the middle of my smile. I had seen several dentists in the Birmingham area that all gave me the same disappointing news– there just wasn’t enough space to fit an implant in the space between the roots of the teeth on either side of what was remaining of the root of my baby tooth. I don’t know all of the dental terminology, but basically everyone told me that not much could be done about my situation without me having to get braces again for another 2 or more years. I had already endured braces for 2 and a half years, so I was intent on finding another answer. I did extensive research online for other dentists in the Birmingham area who could potentially help me, and when I found Koch Aesthetic Dentistry on google and read all the positive reviews, I decided to schedule a consultation. It is now two years later, and I am so glad that I did! Dr. Koch was the first dentist to take on my tooth and explore all of my options with me. Equipped with all of the latest technology and techniques, Dr. Koch and his amazing team were able to give me the implant of my dreams! Finally, I am so happy with my smile! I am so thankful for Dr. Koch & his team, and I have taken the time to write this review in hopes that it will help someone out there looking for help just like I was when I came across Koch Aesthetic Dentistry!

Kor Whitening. Dr. Koch. I cannot say enough good things about both of them. My teeth were horribly stained via tetracycline as a child. I had always been told, so sorry, veneers are your only choice. Well, veneers are well out of my price range, I’d rather travel. Enter Kor Whitening. While not cheap, it was worth every single penny. I was totally skeptical about the whole process. Sure, there were before/after pictures but were they real? And my teeth were horrible. Four weeks later, my teeth are white. Not perfect, but white. And I still have two weeks of treatments left, they will get whiter!! No way!! It is the most life changing, amazing thing I’ve ever experienced and I’ve lived a full life. Don’t hesitate, make the appointment. Life changing. Pinky promise.

Sad to say, I hadn’t been to a dentist office in years due to abnormal fears. I searched online particularly for a dentist offering conscious sedation. Dr. Koch’s Dentistry did! I found his staff to be so down to earth, truly a precious group of ladies. Dr. Koch’s way of explaining every aspect of my procedure eased my anxiety. This is a dentist who truly cares about people and does exceptional work! P.S. I would definitely recommend conscious sedation to those with fears like I have. It was an awesome, pain free experience! Yup, going to the dentist can now be awesome!

Dr. Koch & Staff, I wanted to shoot you all a quick email and thank you for taking good care of me yesterday. It was really great to be treated as a patient for the first time in over 10+ years of me working for Dr. Koch. From the time I emailed with Dr. Koch about the procedure, and especially when I called in yesterday to make the appointment and got to speak with Sarah and hear her personal testimony over the phone without her even ever haven met me! Her excitement about the procedure was infectious even over the phone. She worked me into the busy schedule yesterday and just told me to come on in. She really helped my decision process because I had put it off for weeks and wasn’t sure even when I called. If she had not done that I would have likely just put it off again. From the time I walked in the lobby door everybody called me by my name as I noticed they also did this with everyone else, which goes a long way with folks. Sarah again disarmed any anxiety I really had by just having nice conversation with me while I waited. My consult was superb with Dr. Koch and all the knowledge he was able to share with me was wonderful. I know he spent extra time with me and I didn’t feel rushed even though I knew he had other appointments stacked behind me and he also needed to check on his wife. So I realize I was basically a “work in” type appointment. By the time I was lead to the Opp room and actually set me in the chair for the procedure I was totally at ease. Let’s face it, who wants a bunch of needles stuck in their face?! The discomfort was so minor as I found myself relaxing to the spa music with no background noise and distractions, which was truly helpful for me!! It was so different than my last experience with a different practice. The difference was the people that cared and didn’t over-stack the appointments, make you wait 20 + minutes in the lobby with 10 other people reading those boring magazines. But the ultimate difference was I never felt like I was in a Doctor’s office like those other places that feel so “clinical” and uncomfortable. As I left Melissa greeted me out front just like I had been greeted when I came through the door. I could go on but I will keep it short. So thank you all for such a great experience and I will see you on my next appointment in a few weeks!

I’m so happy that I found a new dental home! After having the same dentist for close to 12 years, she moved and I began a search for a new dentist. I’d visited with a few dentists prior to finding Dr. Koch through a Google search. I have been 100% pleased since day one of being a patient of Dr. Koch! The staff is friendly, professional and very knowledgable about all of the procedures that they perform. They are careful to answer all of my questions. I love walking through the door and being greeted with a smile! I was initially apprehensive to give them a try because of the insurance filing procedure. After my first appointment, I was sold! Let’s talk about my white teeth! I decided to try their recommended whitening system and I could not be more pleased! It was so easy to use and delivered dramatic results in just 2 weeks! No sensitivity at all. Dr. Koch and his staff are amazing! When it comes to physicians, I want the best. This office represents excellence in every way! Dr. Koch is confident in his work and that brings me joy. I love authentic confidence. I’m happy with my new dental home:)

I hadn’t visited a dentist office in several years due to bad experience, insensitive staff and inpatient dentist. I found Koch Anesthetic Dentistry on line. Wrote the number down and held on to it for a couple of months. When I finally made that phone call it was the best call I could have made. Welcoming voice, engaging in conversation, starting out with asking me how I was doing that day. I expressed my concerns about the insensitively of dentist as well my fears. The Koch staff ease all that from that first call to the first appointment. Meeting Dr. Koch was a pleasure with his firm hand shake, which meant a lot to me. His explaining what I need to have done in detail. Then being patience allowing me to ask questions. I had to have several surgeries and he assures me my comfort level was as important to them as it was to me. It was the greatest I had experience. After each surgery Dr Koch would check on me by calling my home and speaking with my husband and later that night he would call and speak with me after some of the anesthesia had worn off. Finding out my pain level and how I was feeling. Dr Koch and his staff kept close tabs on me through each procedures I had to have done. If I had an issue they would get me in that day I never heard we can see you until next week or two week. They address my issues promptly. Even now when I go in to get cleanings Dr Koch comes in and check to see that things are going well. I have never had such confidence in a dentist and his staff. Dr. Koch and his staff are the greatest. I would recommend anyone who has to have any dental work done and wants to have a great outcome with a great experience call to Dr. Koch’s office. CM
