Joseph Lee, DDS

Just started coming to Dr. Lee’s office last month. We moved from west Los Angeles and were looking for a good dentist/​hygienist. We received his name a friend and after reading his reviews here, we close used to book appointments.
This office is thorough and professional. Tiffany is a wonderful hygienist and does a great job of explaining all your problem areas as well as how you can improve on them through your dental routine. Dr. Lee was knowledgable and comprehensive with his assessment and recommendations.
I appreciate that they give you the cost of their care before you move ahead, especially when things will come out of pocket. We’re very satisfied with their service.

Dr. Morita is competent and personable and did a good job with my dental fillings. Tiffany the dental hygienist is also very well educated and did a deep cleaning on my whole mouth. Although my copay cost was pretty high, possibly due to my insurance, I think it was worth it to get quality care for my teeth.

If you are looking for the best dental team in all of Silicon Valley, Dr. Joseph Lee and his staff might very well be it. A high level of expertise and extremely modern equipment is what his practice exemplifies.
Before coming to Dr. Lee’s office, my teeth needed a LOT of work after years of neglect. I had to do a routine cleaning, deep cleaning, and replacement of fifteen aging silver fillings with white fillings. I don’t have insurance, so I have to pay everything out of my own pocket. With potentially having to spend thousands of dollars, I wanted to find the best dentist in Silicon Valley. I researched over a dozen candidates, reading their background biographies, educational history, years of experience, Unilocal reviews, and even LinkedIn profiles. Out of this dental Hunger Games, I chose Dr. Joseph Lee based on his credentials, experience, commitment to continuous learning, and stellar Unilocal reviews. Now after having had my teeth restored to a beautiful state, I am happy about my decision and plan to visit Dr. Joseph Lee for all of my future dental care.
During a recent visit, I overheard a conversation where Dr. Morita (the other doctor who is as equally excellent as Dr. Lee) explained her plans to attend a dental conference in New York on Thanksgiving with her family (she comes from a family of orthodontists). A dental conference on Thanksgiving! That is a testament to the continuous education and dedication to their craft that both Dr. Lee and Dr. Morita exhibit. Dr. Lee’s website states that he «continually seeks to better his knowledge and skill in order to provide his patients with truly comprehensive care.» If you want a dentist who is knowledgeable of the most modern practices and continually improves themselves, you’ve found the right doctor.

I can’t say enough, My husband, my 17 yr. old son and I have been going to Dr. Lee for a three or four years now. I have a horrible fear of dentists and he is calm and patient and waits for me. He makes sure I am okay and then he does his thing. The whole office is professional yet they make you feel like your an old friend. Suzanne who runs front office is beyond wonderful. They tell you up front how much things cost and what your insurance covers. They don’t force any treatments either. My husband and son really enjoy Dr. Lee as well, although they don’t have the fear issues I have. I am glad to see his office has become busier as everyone seems to have found out how great he is.

My wife and I started going to Dr. Lee as soon as we moved down to the South Bay, and we’re very happy with the choice.
Dr. Lee is very attentive to detail and he takes his time looking at your teeth and different things that could be improved.
A plus to them always letting you know how much treatment will cost before you agree to it — not all practices do that, especially when you have insurance.

Had a great experience today! That’s coming from someone whose scared of dentists. Ha!

Excellent service with very charismatic people, Dr Lee, Suzette and Tiffany make a great team.

I had to switch dentists to follow my insurance and decided to check this place out after reading numerous stellar reviews on Unilocal.A good dentist is hard to fine and boy was I impressed just after my first visit! I initially came in for a cleaning but will be returning soon to get a few other things taken care of.
The Good:
— Tiffany took my X-​rays really quickly and professionally so I didn’t have to chomp down for too long on the bite plates. The X-​rays showed up in front of me on their monitor in real time so she could talk me through the preliminary findings.
— Tiffany did my cleaning, and was incredibly thorough. She talked me through every step she was taking through the cleaning. She also pointed out mistakes I was making in brushing or flossing, and the impact it was visibly having on my teeth. She then showed me to correct way to change my brushing and flossing to account for my specific teeth and mouth shape.
— Joseph came in to examine me in person and check out my x-​rays. He is very soft spoken, but is very professional and direct. He mentioned a few fillings that would need to be redone and a few new cavities he found. I was reluctant at first that my previous dentist would miss this, seeing as my last cleaning was only a year ago, but Joseph has a really cool lighted snake camera he uses to get realtime shots of cavities /​decay in the rear molars. He was able to point out to me in realtime the cavities on his LCD screen.
— Extreme cleanliness. Everything is spotless.
— The amenities are all updated and digital including patient records, photos, paperwork, etc.
— I came in for a cleaning, and they were able to schedule me right away to redo the fillings two weeks later.
— I really liked that the office was well run. There was never any down time or additional waiting. I also really appreciated having a dedicated person talk to me about my insurance, what I would expect to pay out of pocket, what was covered, etc. They even were helpful enough to slot my ‘non-​urgent’ fillings to next year, so my insurance would kick in again and I wouldn’t have to pay out of pocket. Great service.
Bottom Line: Come to think of it, I can think of any negatives from my current visit. Hoping that I will become a regular here as long as I reside in the area. I even left with a ultra soft toothbrush, some sensodyne toothpaste, and expanding floss all for my extra sensitive teeth!

Dr Lee and all the personnel are really good, caring, professional, responsive!

The dentist is very friendly and helpful. The nurses are really nice in helping with insurance and making sure thta everything is taken care of. Definitely recommend to anyone. There is free coffee and tea here too.

What separates great professionals from good professionals are the little things that they do. Dr. Lee and his front office staff has exemplified this in every regard during my visits to them. I came in to get my wisdom teeth pulled and had nothing more than previous Unilocal reviews to go on to make my decision to come to his office.
Dr. Lee is extremely professional and takes great care in explaining in detail the procedure and risks involved and was very patient in making sure all my questions were answered. I also can’t speak enough of how wonderful their front office staff is. They took care of all my insurance issues without a hitch and were very transparent with what my insurance plan covered. What blew me away was how accommodating they were. Originally, Dr. Lee’s next available time for my procedure was not for another two weeks. After I explained that I had to return to school out of state in that time frame, they told me that they would call around to see if they can shift around time slots to accommodate my schedule. They called me not 15 minutes after I left the office and told me they were able to squeeze me in the next day. This only shows how much they care about their customers new or old.
As for the procedure, I have nothing but good things to say. He constantly checked on me during the procedure and cracking light-​hearted jokes throughout to maintain a relaxed atmosphere. Dr. Lee also made sure to personally call me the next day to make sure I was feeling OK and to answer any additional questions I may have. I highly recommend Dr. Lee and I am sure this won’t be the last visit I make to his office.

I can’t speak highly enough about this dental practice. I called and the woman (name starts with an S) at the front desk was so nice and got me a next day appointment for a hurting tooth. I went in and was seen within five minutes of handing in my paperwork. They were able to do a painless tooth extraction in ten minutes. I am so impressed with their level of service, timeliness, competency, and general understanding. I will be back and I hope to refer a few folks their way.

Ok so let me just say… AMAZING!
I went to Dr. Lee on a recommendation after a bad experience at another dental office for a second opinion. Not only was I extremely impressed by the staff (kind and knowledgable as well as super professional) the office is clean and beautiful as well as the exam/​procedure rooms. I was treated so kindly and explained all my options by Dr. Lee. I immediately felt comfortable and scheduled my dual front teeth root canals. On my procedure day I was treated like a queen even though I can’t judge morning traffic right and was late. Root canals were a breeze! Fast and absolutely PAINLESS! In and out in less that 2 hours! Dr. Lee is a consummate professional and a magical wondrous dentist! Not only was he a better choice but I would recommend him to anyone seeking a dentist! Thank You Dr. Lee I’ll see you again and again!

I visited this office by my wife’s recommendation since I have a few problems my teeth. I was told to get a deep cleaning so I did it. When I was getting my half side of deep cleaning, nurse was strongly recommended me to buy Arestin which was 50 dollar time for 9 teeth. after treatment, I called my dentist friend in LA and talked about my treatment. my dentist friend told me it could be better with Arestin but there is no guaranty how long it will last. The most of time, it may not last long as anticipated
Later, when I was getting the other half side, nurse was asking me to buy 10 arestin which she think I need to buy to keep my gum healthier but I refused. Another words, I was told to purchase 19 Arestin for my 23 teeth (except 1 implant).
Also I was told to remove one of upper tooth and put an implant due to infection, but I went to see another dentist for 2^nd onion after deep cleaning experience. The other dentist to told me see an endodontist for accurate evaluation. So I went to see the endodontist who has removed my infection without pulling my tooth.
I was very close to pull the tooth out by Dr. Lee’s recommendation but I’m so glad i didn’t have to pull that tooth.
.

The service and energy here from every single person was unbelievably top notch. They do an amazing job from top to bottom!

I have written a couple reviews already, but I would like to say again at how amazing this facility is! I have been so impressed with the quality of care, attention to details when it came to my oral health, the immediate calmness I felt around the staff and Dr. Lee himself (he’s such an approachable guy, and the staff is always full of smiles; love it!), and the thoroughness in explanation of benefits with my insurance, and the procedures I had to partake in (shout-​out to Suzette for this!)
Unfortunately, I had to take my business elsewhere due to the drive I endured getting to the office. I will miss all of you at the office, and the great service you’ve provided me these past couple years. You’re a practice that is few and far in-​between, and I hope my new office can at least meet your quality of standards.
All the best to you guys :] *tear*

I needed to get my wisdom teeth pulled so I shopped around on Unilocal and emailed a bunch of places. Dr. Joseph Lee emailed me back that very night and we discussed my concerns with my TMJ (Temporomandibular joint dysfunction) and the wisdom teeth possibly affecting that negatively as well. I was sold by his quick and thorough responses, especially the detail in which he addressed my TMJ concerns.
They scheduled me for a consultation the following week. We took a panoramic x-​ray, confirming my wisdom teeth were an issue, and he also diagnosed a recurrent gum infection with the wisdom teeth which had been causing inflammation in that area turning into further TMJ trouble.
Day of wisdom teeth extraction, Dr. Lee talked me through everything and answered all my questions without any annoyance. I felt so much more reassured afterwards because I was definitely quite anxious. Annnd… the procedure went perfectly! The numbing took longer than the actual extraction! He got the top teeth out in no time and the bottom were out a minute later. I literally garbled «oh my god!» after he was done, it was so fast! Barely any pain. I only had barely noticeable swelling the first day and I was able to eat normally once the numbing wore off 5 hours later. They have been healing fine, check up confirmed yesterday. I’m not so sure anymore what I was so worried about in the first place!
I was very happy to learn that his office specializes in TMJ and other Craniofacial issues. Financially, they gave me a great deal on the wisdom teeth extraction considering I was paying all out of pocket. My current dental insurance seems to only be accepted by less than smile-​worthy dentists, and I am glad I paid more out of pocket for the peace of mind I received here. I’ll be looking into PPO insurance options so I can continue with this office for my future dental needs.
I was so impressed with the level of attentiveness and customer service from the entire office, Dr. Lee and the front office staff, very jovial group of people.
Super recommend. A+ :D (full smile, minus 4 pesky wisdom teeth squatters)

Brought my 7 year old in and again received phenomenal service. The hygienist was so fun and informative. Tiffany truly showed care and concern for my son’s teeth. She patiently explained to my son how to properly brush and floss his teeth in a fun way. Dr. Lee also made sure my son’s teeth were cared for by adding protective sealants.
The next morning my son brushed his teeth just how he was taught, and was so proud of his teeth!
We LOVE our family Dentist, we’re here to stay!

I don’t normally leave reviews, but I figure that great performance should be recognized.
Dr Lee is a fantastic dentist. He did my veneers/​crowns a year ago and they look great. I’ve received many compliments on my teeth for the first time in my life.
Dr Lee is attentive and courteous and was sensitive to my questions and pricing considerations. Highly recommended

I don’t usually write reviews. But I want to say that Dr. Lee is AWESOME !! He is great !
Very professional and detailed on the procedures.
Staff members are great too.
You will not go wrong by going here.
