Claudia C. Cotca isn’t your typical dentist. She’s a triple-degree graduate of the University of Michigan—Chemistry, Public Health in Toxicology, and Dental Surgery—and she’s turned that foundation into a career that fuses science, aesthetics, and systemic health.
At her Washington Institute for Dentistry & Laser Surgery, Cotca doesn’t just fix smiles—she reconstructs them within neurological and skeletal frameworks, using custom protocols that span TMJ, sleep apnea, oral-systemic links, lasers, and anti-aging therapies. Her work is not just advanced—it’s disruptive.
Outside the clinic, Cotca is a policy force. She’s testified before Congress, served on key national and international boards, and shaped dental standards through the American Dental Association and World Dental Federation. When she speaks, policymakers and professionals listen.
In a world of surface-level cosmetic dentistry, Claudia C. Cotca is a reminder that real influence comes from depth—of knowledge, of practice, and of impact.
