My new dentist who replaced a crown for me, Dr Christine Lee in Southport, ct., is clearly the best, most thorough, and careful dentist I have ever had. And I have been in Dental chairs for at least 65 years.

The entire staff team at this office is beyond amazing. They are very professional and made me feel very welcoming from my first visit 3 years ago and they continue to do so. Their new office in Southport is impeccable, super clean and well organized, but it is the office staff good nature and politeness what did it for me. Another plus for me, each patient office has a large screen TV. I really enjoy watching the very relaxing nature shows while getting my teeth cleaned.

I love everything about Dr. Lee's dental office. Everybody there is so pleasant and welcoming from the front desk staff to the hygienists, the dental assistants and Dr. Lee herself. The office is immaculate and very comfortable. Dr. Lee is competent and caring, and she keeps you informed every step of the way. I am very happy with the quality of her work, plus, I have not experienced any pain!!! I would highly recommend Dr. Lee and her staff.

I had a repair done to an Implant that was finished less than 2 years ago by Aesthetic Dentistry at great expense (and took about a year or more to complete). So I was very surprised to be charged anything for the repair of their work, but astounded to be charged over $200 for the repair! I have another implant that was done by another dentist over 15 years ago that never needed any repairs.

Dr. Lee and her team were incredibly knowlegeable. She treated me like a peer explaining everything in depth so I would have a complete understanding of any procedure involved with dental options. It provided me with a sense of calm & reassurance. Truly exceptional & professional. It is how you would want all your experience at physician's offices to be. Innovative & progressive.

My last dentist made a lot of serious mistakes that made me highly self-conscious. Dr. Lee took her time to evaluate the situation and crafted and executed a plan that makes me want to smile at everyone all the time. She is a genius, is patient, caring, and delivers excellent service and product. I cannot recommend this dental practice more highly.
