in the West Bloomfield or Bloomfield Hills 
area who previously drove to Canton or 
South Lyon.
Opened in October, Lifetime Dental 
Group’s West Bloomfield location is the 
practice’s most advanced office yet. “It’s 
high-tech and has every state-of-the-art 
technology in dentistry,” Kam said.
This includes special X-ray machines 
that are able to take X-rays outside of 
patients’ mouths, digital scanners to create 
impressions and even massage chairs in 
every room at the West Bloomfield office.
The goal? To help patients feel more 
comfortable. “We have digital X-rays, 
which use 90% less radiation than regular 
X-rays,” Kam says. “We have the latest in 
sterilization techniques to make sure that 
everything is 100% sterile and clean.”
Offering trustworthy services, Kam 
explains, is the key to being successful in 
dentistry. 
Kam can often suggest less-expensive 
treatments for dental conditions. This saves 
patients time, energy and money. 
This mindset is shared by Kam and 
everyone who works at the practice, he 
says. Lifetime Dental Group also offers a 
Lifetime Dental Discount Plan that serves 
as an alternative to traditional dental insur-
ance for those who don’t have it, since den-
tal work can be pricey without some type 
of insurance or discount plan in place.
The discount plan, Kam explains, was 
a cornerstone of wanting to form his own 
practice after earning his doctorate from 
the University of Detroit Mercy School of 
Dentistry in 1996.
“I had a philosophy where I knew what 
I wanted,” he says, “and that was opening 
an office where if you don’t have dental 
insurance, we could have a good, in-office 
discount plan, and an office that takes most 
insurance networks.”
Now nearly 25 years after launching his 
dream practice, Kam says he and his team 
have achieved that goal. “We provide excel-
lent service without cutting any corners.” 
 
WIDE SERVICES OFFERED
Currently, Lifetime Dental Group offers 
a number of services that include teeth 
cleanings and fillings, dental X-rays, root 
canals, dental crowns and bridges, and 
dental implants. They also treat gum dis-

ease, dental emergencies and perform den-
tal extractions.
Kam explains there are orthodontists, 
endodontists and periodontists available 
to see in their practices, which isn’t com-
mon for general dental offices to have on 
staff.
Yet amongst many services and special-
ties, Kam says the most rewarding part of 
the job is the ability to change or improve a 
person’s smile.
“We do a lot of smile makeovers where 
we transform people’s smiles,” he explains. 
This can include people who have broken 
teeth, stained teeth and other concerns that 
might prevent them from wanting to smile. 
“We give them a beautiful movie-star 
smile.”
Kam says some patients have even been 
in tears to see the results. “Whether they’re 
a grown man or a young woman, they 
just can’t believe how happy they are,” he 
describes.
For many, smiles are an extremely per-
sonal trait. “It’s changed their lives. They 
could smile now, and they feel confident. 
Their teeth look good, and they feel good 
in return.”

MAINTAINING A PHILOSOPHY
These important and often life-changing 
relationships that Kam and his staff build 
is what makes patients stay with Lifetime 
Dental Group over the decades.
Brian Kaufman of Bloomfield Hills, 
who has been a patient at Lifetime Dental 
Group for five years, says the practice’s 
attention to every detail is what makes 
them stand out.
“They’re always available and happy to 
help when needed,” he says. “There are no 

expenses spared to provide every patient 
with the most advanced technology.”
It’s a feeling, Kaufman says, that patients 
can experience all the way from the lobby 
when they walk in through the front door 
to each treatment room. “Everything is 
done with the patients’ comfort in mind,” 
he adds.
Robyn Presser, 53 of West Bloomfield, 
agrees. “Lifetime Dental Group has been 
more than just a dental office to myself, 
my husband and my two boys,” she says. 
“It’s a part of our family.” A “lifetime,” she 
explains, is exactly how long she’d like to be 
a patient.
“They make you feel comfortable and 
at home,” she continues. “The decor, 
machines, technology and staff are all state-
of-the-art.”
Kam says that if all goes well with the 
new West Bloomfield location, he plans to 
continue expanding Lifetime Dental Group 
in the near future.
“We have the same philosophy,” Kam 
says of every expansion. “To provide the 
best service at the best price.”
