Dentistry, also known as Dental and Oral Medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity. A general dentist, like Dr. Lee, is a primary care dental provider. They diagnose, treat, and manage patients’ overall oral health care needs, including gum care, root canals, fillings, crowns, veneers, bridges, and preventive education.

Being an Arizona native, Dr. Lee was born in Pinetop and raised in Mesa. He and his beautiful wife, Melanie, have three wonderful children – Hannah, Charlie, and Hazel. In his spare time, he enjoys art, reading, hiking, mountain biking, serving in his church, and spending time with his family. “What makes me happy? The connections I make while helping improve people’s smiles, my awesome family, and popcorn” as stated by Dr. Lee.
