Prosthodontist—Bloomfield Hills, MI

Meet Lisa Kane
DDS, MS, FACP

Board-certified prosthodontist Lisa Kane, DDS, MS, FACP, Diplomate of the American Board of Prosthodontics and Adjunct Clinical Associate Professor at the University of Michigan School of Dentistry has been practicing for over 22 years, and she strives to rebuild nature while helping her patients recover what has been lost. She seamlessly combines her extensive training and artistic eye with the latest technology to help people recover their function, comfort and esthetics following tooth loss and other complex dental problems.

She takes an interdisciplinary approach where she works with only the top implant surgeons using a prosthetically-driven implant placement approach. This means the prosthetic or restoration is planned first and then the implant placement is guided by that plan. This attention to detail and commitment to personalization is why she has built such a strong and lasting reputation with both patients and fellow dental professionals over the decades.
