Get to know Dentist Dr. Ton Lee, who serves patients in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Working at both Summerlin Smiles and Distinctive Smiles in Las Vegas, Nevada, Dr. Lee’s goal is to help each patient feel and look their very best through excellent dental care. “It’s important to understand the needs and concerns of my patients. It’s just not teeth that I care about, it’s about the people themselves” as stated by the skilled dentist.

The team of professionals of Summerlin Smiles & Distinctive Smiles have been dedicated to providing the highest quality care to their patients for nearly 15 years. They help enhance and improve quality of life by providing service that delivers the “excellence you expect and the gentle care you deserve.”

Throughout his academic career, Dr. Lee received his Bachelor of Science (BS) and Bachelor of Arts (BA) degrees from the University of California, Irvine in 1996. He then attended Indiana University where he graduated at the top of his class in 2000 and received the James Maus Memorial Scholarship. Shortly after receiving his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree, he completed his internship at the Georgetown Medical Group and the VA Hospital of Indiana. 

A firm believer that patient care comes hand in hand with patient education, Dr. Lee sees himself as a partner in the health and well-being of his patients. He believes that patients have the fundamental right to a comprehensive oral evaluation and appropriate treatment in accordance with their personal objectives.

Among his professional affiliations, he is a member of the American Dental Association, the Nevada Dental Association, and the Southern Nevada Dental Society.

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. Dentists diagnose and treat dental issues and help patients develop better oral hygiene regimens. They clean teeth, correct bite issues, perform surgeries and extractions, and perform other duties to ensure that the teeth and mouth are healthy. 

Along with his commitment to continuing dental education, Dr. Lee is one of the top Invisalign providers in Las Vegas. The same dedication to patient care and treatment has garnered him with multiple awards and honors in the last decade.
