The Kois Center’s Role in Dental Education
Located on the shore of Lake Union in Seattle, the Kois Center has a rigorous program comprising nine intensive courses that focus on the science behind beautiful and healthy smiles.
What truly sets the Kois Center apart is its unwavering dedication to conducting and publishing independent, scientific research. The curriculum also uses cutting-edge technology, such as detailed computer animations and live video demonstrations, to deconstruct complex procedures.

- Value Science Over Guesswork: They deeply respect proven evidence, ensuring your treatment plan is based on what is predictably successful, not just what is convenient.
- Thrive on Collaboration: The small classroom environment fosters discussion and collaboration.
