Dr. Philip Lisk grew up in the small town of Randleman, NC. He graduated from North Carolina State University in 1993 with a Bachelor of Science in Zoology and went on to earn his Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of North Carolina School of Dentistry in Chapel Hill in 1997. Since then, Dr. Lisk has been in private practice as a general dentist in the North Raleigh area.
Dr. Lisk is a member of the American Dental Association, North Carolina Dental Society, Wake County Dental Society, and the American Academy of General Dentistry. He is a Dawson Academy alumnus and is an active participant at the Dawson Center for Advanced Dental Study. The Dawson Center’s philosophy focuses on occlusion (the way teeth come together) and the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), with the goal of achieving a stable, harmonious balance of the entire masticatory system.
In addition, Dr. Lisk is a Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine, having completed his advanced training and achieved diplomate status in 2021. This distinction reflects his commitment to excellence and advanced education in dental sleep medicine and the treatment of sleep-related breathing disorders.
Dr. Lisk resides in North Raleigh with his wife, Heather, and their two daughters, Sophia and Maddie, and their son, Sawyer. The Lisk family are members of Saint Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, where they volunteer much of their time. Their youngest daughter, Maddie, has Down syndrome, and the entire family is passionate about Down syndrome awareness. The Lisks are also supporters of Anna’s Angels Foundation, which funds research to improve the cognitive and communicative abilities of individuals with Down syndrome.
Away from the office, Dr. Lisk enjoys spending time with his family, participating in Y Guides, coaching his children’s sports teams, and cheering on the NC State Wolfpack.
