Meet the Dentist

Dr. Mohler, and his wife, Janine, established their practice in 1994 with one single goal in mind – to provide their guests with the most advanced dental healthcare, in a modern, relaxed environment. Dr. Mohler is continually improving his education, technology, and office environment in an unending pursuit of that goal.

Dr. Mohler is a 1986 graduate of Loyola University School of Dentistry and practiced in St. Louis for three years. After a five-year tour in the US Navy Dental Corps, he came to Beaufort in 1992.

Dr. Mohler has taken numerous courses at the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies (LVI), including: Advanced Anterior Aesthetics, Advanced Posterior Aesthetics, Advanced Adhesive Aesthetic Dentistry, Practical Occlusion for the Cosmetic Dentist I, II, and III, the Master Anterior Aesthetics course, and Full Mouth Reconstruction.

Dr. Mohler has completed the core curriculum of LVI, and as such, has earned the right to take the fellowship exam. He has weighed this decision very carefully and has chosen not to take the exam in the belief that it would limit his focus and ability to comprehensively pursue other disciplines of education to be the best that he could be.

His most recent training is in the area of the Temporomandibular Joints (TMJ) and the orthopedic correction of associated Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMD). His advanced training in occlusion, or how the teeth fit together, has a direct benefit on the restoration of dental implants. Less than 1% of dentists internationally are certified at this level.

Dr. Mohler has reconnected with his mentor Dr. Clayton Chan, who has expanded the work of Dr. James Carlson Occlusion Program at the Las Vegas Institute by offering advanced occlusal teachings at his own institute, Occlusion Connections, also in Nevada. Occlusion Connections is an advancement and refinement of the occlusion programs at LVI targeting specifically the difficult TMD cases that do not resolve their pain. Occlusion Connections has eight levels of courses dealing with occlusion, TMD, and is rapidly become the premiere Center for Gneuromuscular Dentistry. Dr. Mohler has been able to begin at Level 5 due to his advanced training. Occlusion Connections training is more from the orthopedic approach to repositioning the upper and lower jaws, blending the best of the gnathologic and neuromuscular approaches to pain resolution for TMD cases.

Dr. Mohler is also a member of the AACD, American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. He places only the highest quality restorations, from laboratory processed Empress crowns to one-visit porcelain restorations utilizing the latest in CAD CAM dentistry. These one-visit porcelain restorations are fabricated in-office using his CEREC computer.

Dr. Mohler’s thirst for continuing education is unrivaled in this area. He typically completes up to 150 hours of continuing education each year, far surpassing the 14 hours required by the SC Dental Board.

Janine Mohler graduated from Rutgers University College of Medicine and Dentistry, obtaining her R.D.H. in 1981. She has extensive practice in all aspects of dental hygiene with special emphasis on pediatric and orthodontic care.

Dr. Mohler and Janine are the parents of Nina, Chase, Kylie, Carolina, and their newest addition, Macie Bruce.
