MEET YOUR DENTIST

Built on Roots.
Built for People.

The name comes from something real. Dr. Bouz grew up with birch trees, and he chose them as a symbol of what he wanted this practice to be: connected to the community, not just operating inside it.

A Background Built for This

Dr. Bouz came to dentistry with a broad foundation — philosophy, clinical ministry, hands-on construction work — and brought that same curiosity into the operatory. He asks questions, explains what he finds, and doesn't move forward until the plan makes sense to you.

Honest Care, No Pressure

Dr. Bouz will stop the moment you say stop. Every diagnosis comes with a clear explanation — X-rays, photos, whatever helps the finding click — and nothing moves forward until you're ready and comfortable.

Dr. Sviatoslav Bouz

Dr. Sviatoslav Bouz

DDS

Dr. Bouz chose dentistry because it gave him what medicine couldn't: visible results, direct patient relationships, and work that fits into a life. A fluent Russian and Ukrainian speaker, he's an active part of Ooltewah's Slavic community.

"I had a dental emergency and my regular dentist was closed. I called Monday morning and they had me in that same morning — crown placed within 3 days. Dr. Bouz and his staff explain everything in detail, and the front office is amazing with cost breakdowns and financing."

"We love Dr. Bouz. I trust him with my whole family's dental care. Most recently I went with my 2-year-old for his very first appointment. Dr. Bouz was so warm and helped him feel comfortable right away."
