Meet Dr. Lisa Burkett
I love prosthodontics and being able to provide a beautiful, confident, and healthy smile for our patients and improve their overall health. I see such a wide range of patients each day with varying dental needs. I like working with different age groups of patients, because it always keeps me sharp and on my toes. Having someone come in to our office afraid to smile, and then leave with a confident smile on their face, is the best “thank you” that I can get!

I am a member of several dental organizations and attend dental meetings across the country to stay current with new technologies and techniques, which enables me to provide the best care for my patients.
Outside the Office
I am a Texas native and live in Austin with my husband Danny, who is a dental ceramist (i.e., he makes crowns and veneers). In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors doing almost anything. Mostly, I garden, run, bike, play tennis, and fish down at the coast. Additionally, Danny and I are active at our church where we are greeters on Sundays.
