Dr Linda Feduska DDS FAGD
A Passion for My Profession
I love dentistry. It allows me to blend all my talents and passions: art, science, and truly making a positive difference for people. Helping my patients achieve and maintain their aesthetic best and a healthy smile makes me happy, and I love it when someone we have cared for, for more than 35 years, thanks us because they still have their own teeth.
That’s what it’s all about. It starts with a conversation to learn about the person’s dental goals and overall health, and then developing a treatment approach that is right for them. I might recommend a nutritional assessment or dental hygiene instruction, suggest new or different dental products, and offer restorative treatment or orthodontics. Whatever the person’s goal, solutions are available, but I can’t start helping until I truly understand the person’s needs and desires.
While I love the hands-on aspects of dentistry, it’s the people we treat that make me the happiest. Patients here range from 2 to 102, and once we start seeing a patient, he or she becomes like a member of our own family. After years of practicing, it warms my heart to know we are often caring for the third generation of a family. I am honored by their devotion to our practice and the care we deliver.

Commitment to Continuing Education
There have been many advances in technology, methodologies, and materials since I attended dental school. In order to stay current and able to offer my patients the best care options, I participate in many hours of continuing education (CE) each year.
I appreciate the Academy of General Dentistry’s (AGD) effort to encompass all 16 disciplines of dentistry, and pursue a lot of my CE through the AGD. I’ve earned my fellowship in the AGD and am working toward my mastership. I am also an associate in the International Association of Orthodontists, am working toward my Diplomate status, and am active in the Pennsylvania Academy of General Dentistry.
Personal Life & Community
I’m a native Pennsylvanian, having called Marshall Township my home since 1985. My husband and partner in the practice, Dr. John A. Kokai, and I have two adult daughters, Valerie and Colleen, and a very small Teacup Yorkie, CoCo.
I keep busy when I’m not at work, whether I’m enjoying being outside, biking, going on day hikes, walking at the beach, or spending time in the garden. I also enjoy cooking, decorating, reading, and music of many genres.
I believe in giving back to the community, to the best of my abilities. In addition to offering free screenings as part of the Oral, Head & Neck Cancer Awareness program, I’m also involved with Women at Risk, the Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign, and am a volunteer with AGD Cares.

When I called to inquire if they were accepting new patients, the kind receptionist advised me they were, but I wasn't sure if they took my insurance. She took down my insurance information and called my insurance company to confirm, and then she promptly called me back to let me know they accepted my insurance. That was over and beyond my expectations right there. I was able to get an appointment within 1 week, which was also impressive. When I arrived, I was at the wrong side of the building. Make sure to pull around the back of the building to get in to My Best Smile so you aren't walking through the gym in the front of the building. I was greeted by 2 very kind, warm receptionists and promptly taken back to my appointment, where I had the most thorough, yet gentle cleaning I've ever had along with x rays. After the hygienist was finished, the dentist promptly checked my teeth and talked about the practice is more detail. I'm so glad I stumbled upon My Best Smile from my internet search. I had a great experience here and would recommend this practice to family and friends. read less

Dr. Kokai introduced himself as John and was as friendly and non-judgmental as they come. I had an infected tooth and was in terrible pain. He presented all the options and let me decide what I could manage at that time. I absolutely can't believe I'm saying this, but the entire experience, from injecting me with Novocaine to pulling the tooth out of my jaw was completely painless. My comfort was the first concern there. Everyone was so pleasant and understanding. The after-care instructions were very detailed and even had his office and cell phone number listed if there was an emergency. From someone who's TERRIFIED of dentists, this place is definitely the place to get your teeth in shape! Thanks Dr. Kokai!!!! read less

I know, I know.. how could you possibly love going to the dentist?!I have been going to Drs. Kokai and Feduska for several years now, and I would never dream of going anywhere else for my dental needs. The hygienists are all super gentle and educate me without scolding me, which is wonderful. I actually look forward to my 6-month cleaning appointments!Both Drs. Kokai and Feduska are very patient and understanding. Everything is always explained very clearly and they don't mind answering your questions. They really go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable. They even call a few hours after your procedure just to see how you're doing--just makes you feel very well-cared-for.Aside from the genuine care My Best Smile offers, the actual office is beautiful and the atmosphere is very calming. If you're looking for a dentist that can erase your traumatic dental experiences of the past, get in here! Your teeth will thank you 😀 read less

Well, actually I do not mind going, but with the amounts of wine and coffee I drink, it can be a crapshoot as to what they find. My Best Smile is located on Myoma Road in Seven Fields/Mars. They also have an another office, but I have only been to the Seven Fields location. The office itself is relatively new. Inside is quite spacious, clean and comfortable. I actually think this dentist office schedules the right amount of appointments at one time as the wait time is not long at all. I must caveat that I usually try to get the first appointment of the morning, but my better half has never had any issues when she has appointments. They have two dentists there and I usually schedule with Dr. Linda. She is professional and courteous. Though I have had no major teeth issues, she still makes you feel comfortable. My cleanings have been quick, easy and painless.The professionalism in the office is really good. Everyone is friendly and pleasant. The Seven Fields location is only open Monday - Wednesday.Since I must go to the dentist twice a year, I have no qualms about going to see Dr. Linda. If you are in the area, this is a nice clean, professional place to go. read less
