Growing up in Grandville, Michigan with a father who also practiced dentistry, it is clear to see how Dr. Lee became passionate about dental and oral health. He attended nearby Hope College for his undergraduate education, where he received a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology in 1995. From there, he went to University of Detroit Mercy Dental School, graduating as a Doctor of Dental Surgery in 2000.
After joining his father’s family dentistry practice, Dr. Lee continued to foster his love of dental and oral care. It was in 2005 when he began his journey of asking the question, “Why?”
Why did people lose teeth?
Why did people break teeth?
Why were so many people walking around with sore muscles and joint problems?
Why aren’t people happy with the way their teeth feel?
These questions lead him to further his education through the Pankey Institute for Advanced Dental Education in Florida. Upon completion of the full curriculum, Dr. Lee had a renewed sense of the importance of focusing on patient relationships in order to improve their overall dental and oral health. With this knowledge, he has been able to provide his patients with the attention and care they need to ensure they feel safe and comfortable, while also remaining healthy.
Dr. Lee’s relationship based dentistry philosophy fits right in with the fact that he loves to serve. As much as he enjoys learning to fuel his passion for dentistry, he also loves to help others acquire such valuable information. Because of this, he has been involved in several study groups which were focused on comprehensive care. Through teaching and spreading his knowledge to other dentists and his patients, he is improving the overall oral health, as well as the quality of life for many people.
In addition to the previously mentioned credentials, Dr. Lee is also an active member of the American Equilibration Society (AES). Staying up-to-date with this association for education in comprehensive dental sciences ensures that Dr. Lee is able to provide premium and individualized care for the well-being of his patients.
While Dr. Lee loves practicing dentistry, he also makes sure to take a break to foster his personal relationships by spending quality time with his family. During the beautiful Michigan summers, he enjoys spending time at their cottage, doing water activities, and simply relaxing.
Dr. Lee would love the opportunity to share his passion for dentistry with you.
