As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Lee offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Tartar Buildup: Tartar, or calculus, is hardened plaque that irritates gums and can lead to gum disease; your dentist can help prevent and treat it.
- Swollen Gums: Inflamed or swollen gums may lead to more serious gum disease if left untreated; a dentist can diagnose the condition, perform a professional cleaning to reduce inflammation, and teach you how to better care for your gums at home.
- Sensitive Teeth: Sharp, shooting pains in your teeth triggered by temperature changes or certain foods often indicate sensitive teeth, a problem your general dentist can help resolve.
- Traumatic Dental Injuries: Traumatic dental injuries are damage to your teeth or mouth from accidents, and your dentist can repair or replace damaged teeth.
- Tooth Avulsion: Facing a knocked-out tooth? Your general dentist can expertly manage the situation, aiming to reinsert the tooth or providing solutions for replacing it.
- Tooth Malformation: If your teeth have unusual shapes or sizes due to a condition called tooth malformation, a general dentist is the right professional to help you understand and manage this issue.
- Oral Hairy Leukoplakia: Your dentist can identify oral hairy leukoplakia, a white, fuzzy patch on your tongue often linked to a weakened immune system, and discuss its management.
This list represents some of the common conditions treated. An accurate diagnosis and a personalized care plan can only be developed through a direct consultation with a qualified medical professional.
To provide comprehensive and patient-centered care, Dr. Lee offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Snoring Prevention: Your dentist can assess your mouth and jaw to identify potential causes of snoring, like misaligned jaws or airway obstructions.
- Amalgam Filling Removal: This procedure replaces outdated or damaged silver fillings with more modern, and sometimes safer, alternatives.
- Local Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is a numbing medicine used to make dental procedures comfortable by preventing you from feeling pain.
- Athletic Mouthguards: A mouthguard is a preventive measure to safeguard your oral health during athletic activities.
- Nightguard: Nightguards are a preventative measure to safeguard your teeth and jaw from the damaging effects of teeth grinding.
- Pediatric Crown: When a child's tooth is significantly decayed or weakened, a pediatric crown acts as a protective cover, preventing further damage and improving its strength.
- Gum Surgery: Gum surgery can improve gum health, making it easier to clean your teeth and reduce the risk of infections.
Service availability can change. To understand which services are appropriate for your specific health needs, please schedule a consultation to develop a personalized care plan.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Lee:
- How is my dental health connected to my overall health, like my heart?
- Your oral health is critically linked to your overall health. Bacteria from chronic gum disease can enter your bloodstream, increasing your risk for heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Regular dental care is essential for maintaining not only healthy teeth and gums, but also your overall well-being.
- My medications make my mouth constantly dry. Is this a dental problem?
- Yes, dry mouth (xerostomia) is a common side effect of many medications. Saliva is the body's natural defense against cavities, so a dry mouth significantly increases the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Dr. Lee can recommend special rinses, gels, and other strategies to manage dry mouth.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists, like Dr. Lee, are trained to perform many root canals. For more complex cases, such as a difficult-to-reach molar, a referral to an endodontist may be necessary to ensure the best possible outcome. Many root canals can be performed right here in the office by Dr. Lee.
- What is the difference between a crown and a filling?
- A filling is like a patch to repair a small area of a damaged tooth. A crown is like a cap or helmet that covers the entire tooth, providing strength and protection when a tooth is significantly damaged, cracked, or has had a root canal.
- How often should I see the dentist, even if nothing hurts?
- Most people benefit from a check-up and cleaning every six months. These visits are crucial for prevention, as they allow our team to remove tartar buildup and catch problems like small cavities or early gum disease before they become painful or expensive to treat.
- Are dental implants a good option for replacing missing teeth?
- Dental implants are often an excellent long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. They provide a secure foundation for a crown or bridge, restoring a natural look and feel, and can help preserve the jawbone.
- My dentures don't fit as well as they used to. What can be done?
- Over time, jawbone and gum tissue change, potentially loosening dentures. A relining procedure can reshape the denture for a better fit, or a new denture may be necessary if the current one is significantly worn. A proper fit is crucial for comfortable eating and speaking.
- What is an oral cancer screening and is it part of my check-up?
- An oral cancer screening is a quick, painless part of every routine dental exam. Dr. Lee will visually inspect your lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat for any unusual sores or discolorations. Early detection is key to successful treatment.
