A message from Kairos Holistic Dental: Family-owned, metal-free dentistry that supports whole-body health

Share this story:

Kairos Holistic Dental is an independent, family-owned practice in Overland Park, founded by Dr. Tyler Koupal and his wife, Allie. Their holistic practice takes a whole-body approach to dentistry, built on the belief that your mouth and your body are inseparably connected.

The holistic difference

Holistic dentistry is based on a fundamental understanding that the mouth and body are integrally connected. At Kairos Dental, that philosophy shapes your care, starting with an in-depth examination of your oral health and its relationship to your overall well-being. The findings then inform treatment, from fluoride-free routine care to carefully selected biocompatible materials for restorative treatments.

For more involved procedures, such as dental implant placement, Kairos Dental places special emphasis on healing, using technologies such as red light therapy alongside personalized supplement protocols to support your recovery and long-term health.

Whether you need regular teeth cleanings and checkups, restorative care, or cosmetic options, the same approach guides your treatment.

Meet Dr. Tyler Koupal

Dr. Koupal is a biological and holistic dentist, originally from a small town in South Dakota. He earned his dental degree at Marquette University and practiced in traditional dental settings.

While working in a corporate practice in Kansas City, he felt a nudge toward something more. As he reflected on the holistic choices he made for his family, he realized his career in traditional dentistry didn’t match many of the values he lived by every day. That realization led him to biological dentistry and inspired him to open Kairos Dental.

Metal-free dentistry and safe mercury filling removal

Kairos Dental takes a thoughtful approach to metal-free dentistry. For patients considering silver filling removal, the practice uses a carefully planned process designed to minimize mercury exposure during removal and support patient comfort throughout treatment. Dr. Koupal follows SMART protocol guidelines from the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT), using a rubber dam, high-volume suction, air filtration, and protective gear for you and the team. He incorporates ozone therapy to help reduce harmful bacteria and create a cleaner environment within the tooth, then restores it with a tooth-colored, metal-free material such as a composite filling, inlay, onlay, or ceramic crown. 

Ceramic implants and biological extractions

Dr. Koupal places metal-free zirconia implants, a biocompatible alternative to titanium. Made from a high-strength ceramic material, they offer a durable solution for replacing missing teeth. He also performs biological extractions for infected teeth using minimally invasive techniques designed to help you heal faster. Dr. Koupal personally performs both procedures, allowing you to stay with the same dentist from extraction to final restoration.

Advanced technology and healing support throughout treatment

Kairos Dental uses advanced CBCT 3D imaging to provide detailed views of your teeth, jawbone, and sinuses. This technology typically uses less radiation than a conventional medical CT scan while providing valuable information to help guide your dental care. This helps Dr. Koupal evaluate your oral health and identify concerns that could affect your general health.

In addition to advanced technology for diagnosis and treatment planning, Kairos Dental offers therapies and tailored protocols to support your body’s healing process.

Depending on your procedure, your care may include:

Straightforward costs, insurance, and financing

Before treatment begins, the Kairos team will take time to explain your costs, answer your insurance questions, and walk you through financing options so you feel comfortable moving forward. Kairos Dental is an out-of-network provider, but the team can submit claims on your behalf, and you may be eligible for reimbursement depending on your plan. If you’d prefer to spread out the cost of care, financing through Cherry offers smaller monthly payments that can make treatment more manageable.

Trusted by patients across Kansas City

Since opening in October 2025, Kairos Dental has earned a 5.0 rating on Google. Dr. Koupal and his wife built the practice around unhurried appointments and time to get to know each patient, and that’s the experience the team works to deliver at every visit.
