Katherine Schier Bandos, DMD, a Dentist with Kalamazoo Smiles

Get to know Dentist Dr. Katherine Schier Bandos, who serves patients in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

Described by patients as honest, upfront, and compassionate, Dr. Bandos is a general & cosmetic dentist who loves her job. She is the Founder of Kalamazoo Smiles in Michigan, using the latest dental technology to provide the highest quality of care. 

Accepting patients of all ages, from babies to mature adults, she offers a range of dental services, including family dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, oral surgery, endodontics, and porcelain veneers.

Taking a conservative approach to dental care, Dr. Bandos does her best to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible when one needs cavities removed or restorations placed. She always looks at the big picture when recommending treatments to patients, thinking about how a dental procedure might affect one’s oral health weeks, months, and even years from their initial appointment.

Academically, Dr. Bandos completed her undergraduate studies in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering from Vanderbilt University. From there, she attended the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine and graduated with honors in 2015. 

Furthering her training, she completed her general practice residency and fellowship training at LSU University Medical Center.

Over the years, Dr. Bandos has enjoyed taking advanced dental classes, including, but are not limited to: tooth extractions with socket preservation surgery, dental implant placement and restorations, root canal therapy, and cosmetic dentistry.

Among her professional dental affiliations, she is an active member of the American Dental Association, the Michigan Dental Association, the Kalamazoo Valley District Dental Society, and the Academy of General Dentistry. 

Dentistry, also known as Dental and Oral Medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity.  Dentists diagnose and treat problems with patients’ teeth, gums, and related parts of the mouth. They provide advice and instruction on taking care of the teeth and gums and on diet choices that affect oral health.

In 2022, Dr. Bandos was voted Best Pediatric Dentist in Southwest Michigan by KZOO KIDS. It has always been her goal to help patients smile with confidence. 

Outside of the office, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, playing tennis, enjoying nature, and cooking.
