About

Dr. Janice Kan founded The Centre for Prosthodontics in 2011 and its education program to build on Perth’s reputation as a leading centre in advanced dental and prosthodontic treatments.

In the years since she has forged her reputation through holding fellowships and lecturer positions at well-respected institutions around the world, presenting her knowledge at many national and international dental education events, publishing her clinical and research work in the reputable dental journal and textbook, and being sought out for leadership roles in peak industry bodies – most notably as the Past President of the Academy of Australian and New Zealand Prosthodontists (AANZP) and Study Club Coordinator of the International Team for Implantology (ITI) Australasian Section.
