Lead Dentist Worcester
Get to Know
Dr. Aidis S. Kozica
As a dentist, I enjoy educating on the importance of dental health and its impact on overall health. It’s 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 hadn’t been to a dentist in 40 years! He had a bad experience years ago and 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. He’s 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 minimally invasive 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 laser and have lectured on “21st Century Dentistry” locally, as well as in Moscow, Russia and Vilnius, Lithuania.
I’m constantly expanding my knowledge through hands-on technique workshops and attendance at lectures and conferences and 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 feel strongly that my patients deserve the best available treatment. My staff and I strive to achieve this with updated and ongoing continuing education.
In the Community
I served as the 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 spent coaching youth sports, including baseball, basketball, and football, were especially rewarding.
