THE TICHY DIFFERENCE
Every procedure. Under the microscope.
Most dentists work with loupes. Dr. Tichy belongs to the rare group of general dentists who perform every exam and procedure with a dental operating microscope — the gold standard of precision care.
More magnification means decay is caught earlier, treatment stays conservative, and more of your healthy tooth is preserved. A camera on the scope streams to ceiling-mounted TVs, so you watch your own exam in real time while Dr. Tichy explains what he sees.

MEET YOUR DENTIST · DR. MICHAEL TICHY, D.M.D.
Precision has always been the job.
Before dentistry, Dr. Tichy competed in professional alpine ski racing — collecting national and international titles where success is measured in hundredths of a second. Today that same discipline shows up in a different arena: evidence-based, microscope-assisted dentistry.
A graduate of Oregon Health & Science University and an Oregonian of twenty years, Dr. Tichy is a husband and father of two who loves treating adults and kids alike — and teaching families how oral health connects to whole-body health.
"Less invasive, more comfortable, and honest about what you actually need — that's the promise of the microscope."
