Professional Profile

Dr. Julian Kokuja began working at Trio Dental Center in March 2016. During his first years at the clinic, he developed broad clinical experience in general dentistry, restorative dentistry, diagnosis, treatment planning and routine surgical procedures.

As his professional experience developed, he increasingly focused on implant prosthodontics, oral surgery and dental implantology.

Dr. Kokuja combines surgical and prosthetic knowledge when planning implant treatments. This allows him to evaluate not only the surgical placement of the implants but also the position, stability and function of the final fixed dental restoration.

His treatment approach is based on careful diagnosis, accurate planning and the selection of an appropriate long-term solution for each patient.

Clinical Approach

Dr. Kokuja believes that successful implant treatment requires close coordination between surgery and prosthodontics.

Before beginning treatment, he evaluates the patient’s oral health, available bone structure, functional needs and the type of final restoration required. This integrated approach helps ensure that implant placement is planned according to the final prosthetic result.

He also places particular importance on clear communication, explaining the proposed treatment stages and helping patients understand what to expect before, during and after their procedure.
