Dr. Mandic-Kuljic takes the time to listen to each patient's concerns and builds an individual plan around them. She has always been committed to going deeper, taking courses in both dentistry and whole-body wellness, because patients who understand how to care for their teeth improve their overall health along the way.

A recent milestone was completing a four-year mini-residency at the Kois Center for Advanced Dental Learning in Seattle, which expanded her skills in cosmetic dentistry, implants, and the treatment of TMJ dysfunction.

Children have always been a particular focus. Over time she noticed how many of her younger patients were mouth breathers, tooth grinders, and tongue thrusters, and those symptoms led her to complete an Airway Mini-Residency so she could identify and address their causes directly. Today she is a trained Myobrace educator and a licensed Orofacial Myology Therapist, helping patients correct the dental and lifestyle habits behind those patterns.

She believes in treating the root cause of a problem rather than its symptoms, and finds airway dentistry some of the most rewarding work she does: helping patients breathe, sleep, and live well.
