Dr. Ola Kobierzycki
Hello! I’m Dr. Ola Kobierzycki (pronounced Kobe-jetski), a third-generation dentist with a deep passion for helping people smile and live healthier lives. Dentistry runs in my family, and over the years, that legacy has inspired me to pursue extensive training around the world in both general dentistry and dental sleep medicine.
I earned my dental degree from the University of Michigan, and my academic journey also includes a degree in Marine Biology, several years of study abroad in Europe, and volunteering internationally on dental mission trips. Each of these experiences has shaped the way I care for patients today – with curiosity, compassion, and a commitment to excellence.
As one of the few highly credentialed dental sleep medicine providers in West Michigan, I specialize in helping patients find comfortable, effective alternatives to CPAP therapy through custom oral appliance therapy. Whether you visit me for a smile restoration or to finally get a good night’s sleep, I treat every patient as I would my own family. My practice philosophy is rooted in honesty, empathy, and personalized care. Above all, I believe that great care begins with relationships and trust.
Although I’m originally from Canada, Grand Rapids has truly become home for myself, my husband, Scott (a physician caring for patients with chronic kidney disease), our two energetic young children, and our French bulldog. We love exploring everything West Michigan has to offer, and I feel so grateful to serve this wonderful community.
