Dr. Lorie Hodd believes that being a dentist also means being a lifelong learner. She completed her BS degree and DDS degree with honors in 1987 from the University of Minnesota. She then completed extensive postgraduate training at the L.D. Pankey Institute in Key Biscayne, Florida, where she specialized in TMJ treatment modalities and Comprehensive Full Mouth Reconstruction. She became a practicing dentist soon after but never stopped learning. When she is not in the office, Dr. Hodd is completing a continuing education course, ensuring that she stays at the forefront of modern dental technologies and treatments. She is also an active member of the Minneapolis District Dental Society, the Academy of General Dentistry, the American Dental Association, and the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.
