Dr. Kishawn Kole-James
Dr. Kole-James has treated patients across the Detroit area for over 8 years. He's board-certified, with a DDS from the University of Detroit Mercy and an orthodontics degree from Howard University.
Before opening Superior Orthodontics, he ran the dental program at three community health clinics, where he learned firsthand what it takes to make good care affordable.
At home, he's outnumbered by his wife Uchenna and their two sons, Samuel and Emmanuel. That same family-first attitude shows up in how he treats every patient.

Patient Stories
Straight from our Google reviews, in their own words.
I had given up on braces, accepting that I'd never have the smile I wanted. The very first appointment the benefits coordinator gave me an affordable payment plan, the Dr. put me at ease and made me feel as if what I needed was very fixable. That same day I left with braces.

We visited with 6 orthodontists over the past two years, not really hearing a plan for treatment that we felt was right for our daughter. Our daughter is excited to get braces and can't wait to see how her smile looks at the end of her alignment journey!

I absolutely look forward to going to my ortho appts. Dr. Kishawn Kole-James is the best Dentist I've ever had. I am very pleased with my teeth so far. The financial part is affordable and they make it possible for anyone to afford.
