Meet Dr. Joseph Houlik

Dr. Houlik is guided by the golden rule, treat others how you like to be treated. This is reflected in his sincere, genuine care for all patients and exceptional dentistry. Born and raised in Wichita, Dr. Houlik attended Wichita Collegiate and Kansas State University. He graduated at the top of his class and received multiple scholarships during his tenure at the UMKC School of Dentistry.

Dr. Houlik is a comprehensive dentist with advanced training in cosmetic dentistry, veneers, dental implants, full mouth rehabilitation, TMJ/TMD, orthodontics, oral surgery, and facial esthetics. He has completed the Clinical Mastery Series I–IV, with a focus on esthetics, veneers, complex case design, and full mouth reconstruction.

He approaches dentistry comprehensively, viewing the teeth, bite, jaw, and airway as part of an interconnected system to deliver more predictable, long-term results.

Dr. Houlik has received specialized training at the Misch/Resnik Implant Institute, focusing on advanced implant techniques including single, multiple, and full arch restorations, as well as implant-supported prostheses.

He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine (ABDSM) and has completed advanced training through the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine (AADSM), reflecting a commitment to excellence in the treatment of sleep apnea and snoring.

In addition to his work at Houlik Dentistry, Dr. Houlik is the founder of LiveWell Dental, a practice focused on dental sleep medicine and comprehensive care designed to improve patients’ overall health and quality of life.

Dr. Houlik is an active member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, and the American Academy of Implant Dentistry.

Outside the office, Dr. Houlik is most proud of his family. He is married to his high school sweetheart, Alexa, and together they are raising their two sons. He is actively involved at St. Thomas Aquinas and values faith, family, and continual personal growth. In his free time, he enjoys spending time with family and friends, practicing Spanish, and playing with their Shih-Tzu, Lady.
