When you’re searching for a dentist in Wylie, TX, or driving in from Sachse, Murphy, Plano, or Garland, you want more than someone who passed dental school and stopped there. You want a dentist who keeps learning, keeps questioning, and keeps raising the bar on the care they deliver. That’s exactly the standard Dr. Fesaha Gebrehiwot (Dr. G) holds himself to. Among his many advanced credentials, one of note is that he’s a Graduate of the Kois Center, a Seattle-based post-doctoral program widely considered one of the most rigorous and evidence-driven continuing education institutions in dentistry.
If you’re ready to schedule an appointment with one of the most trusted dentists in Wylie, contact Trusted Dental Care today by calling our office at (214) 702-0446. New patients are always welcome.
What Is the Kois Center?
Founded by Dr. John C. Kois, DMD, MSD, the Kois Center in Seattle, Washington, is not a typical weekend CE seminar. It’s a structured, multi-course curriculum that takes dentists years to complete, and it accepts only small class sizes of up to 41 students at a time, ensuring every participant gets a deeply personalized learning experience.
What makes the Kois Center uniquely credible is that it’s the only continuing dental education program in the country that conducts and publishes its own independent research. Every course is updated multiple times a year as new scientific evidence emerges. The center doesn’t accept sponsorship funding from dental manufacturers or suppliers, which means the education is driven purely by science, not by anyone’s sales agenda.
The curriculum is rigorous by design. Dentists must work through a series of advanced courses before they can graduate, covering:
- Treatment Planning & Digital Implementation or Functional Occlusion (how your bite works and affects your entire oral health)
- Managing the Restorative/Periodontal Interface (how gum health and restorations interact)
- Biomechanics (how teeth and dental work hold up under real-world forces)
- Dental implants — Fixed & Removable
- Advanced Treatment Planning & Interactive Case Management
The final course requires dentists to bring and present their own patient cases for review. This isn’t just memorizing material; it’s demonstrating clinical mastery with real outcomes. Earning the title of Kois Center Graduate means Dr. G has completed all of it.
Why Evidence-Based Dentistry Matters
You may have heard the phrase “evidence-based medicine” before. In dentistry, it means treatments and recommendations are grounded in current, peer-reviewed scientific research, not habit, tradition, or manufacturer recommendations.
At a practice where evidence-based principles guide every decision, you’re less likely to hear “we’ve always done it this way,” and more likely to receive a treatment plan that reflects what the science actually says is best for your long-term oral health.
This distinction matters especially for complex care. If you’re considering dental implants, full-mouth reconstruction, veneers, crowns, or treatment for gum disease, the difference between a dentist trained with current evidence and one who isn’t can be significant in outcomes, in longevity of your results, and in whether treatment addresses the root cause of your problem or just the symptom.
How Dr. G Brings Kois Training to Patients in Wylie & Beyond
Dr. G didn’t just attend the Kois Center; he internalized its principles and applied them every day at Trusted Dental Care in Wylie, TX, serving families from across the DFW area.
Here’s what that looks like in practice:
- Comprehensive Diagnosis First: Kois-trained dentists are taught to evaluate the full picture before recommending treatment, periodontal (gum) health, bite function, bone support, and aesthetics, all considered together. Rather than treating one tooth in isolation, Dr. G looks at how everything works as a system.
- Predictable, Long-Lasting Results: The Kois curriculum emphasizes biomechanics, understanding the forces that affect how restorations hold up over time. When Dr. G places a crown, a bridge, or a set of veneers, he’s thinking about how that work will function five, ten, and twenty years from now.
- Honest, Patient-Centered Treatment Planning: The Kois philosophy is built around informed consent and individualized care. Dr. G will tell you what he sees, what your options are, and what the evidence says, then let you make the decision that’s right for your life.
A Commitment to Education That Doesn’t Stop
The Kois Center is just one chapter in Dr. G’s ongoing pursuit of excellence. In the last five years alone, he has accumulated over 1,300 hours of continuing education, far exceeding what Texas requires for license renewal.
He’s also a graduate of The Dawson Academy, holds an implant fellowship from the Resnik Implant Institute and the Pikos Institute, and completed the prestigious Clinical Mastery Series. He’s currently working toward Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry, a distinction held by fewer than 6% of general dentists nationwide.
Dr. G chose this path because he believes his patients deserve a dentist who is always getting better. He started from humble beginnings in Eritrea, East Africa, arrived in the U.S. through a Diversity Visa Lottery, and earned his DDS from the University of Washington School of Dentistry after first studying electrical engineering at Arizona State University. That background, the discipline of an engineer, the curiosity of a lifelong learner, drives everything he does at Trusted Dental Care.
The Dr. G Difference
There are plenty of dental practices in the Wylie, Sachse, Murphy, Plano, and Garland area. What there aren’t plenty of are Kois Center graduates, dentists who have invested years of their life, and thousands of hours of study, into mastering the science of comprehensive dentistry. When you sit in Dr. G’s chair, you’re not just getting a cleaning or a filling. You’re benefiting from a dentist whose training pushes him to diagnose with precision, plan with intention, and treat with evidence behind every decision.
If you’re looking for a dentist in Wylie, TX who brings specialist-level thinking to general dentistry, we’d love to welcome you to Trusted Dental Care.
