Went here in 2020 for basic cleaning and to help with a chipped tooth. Cleaning was done by an intern who I had to make stop because she was physically hurting my teeth/gums. Dr. Lee attempted to fix my chipped tooth which ended up chipping on its own about a month later. I asked him about the two small cavities I noticed and he said "you don't have any cavities" I asked him, "so what are the small holes I can feel with my tongue" and he said not to worry about them. They've since gotten bigger. He basically waisted my time and money. Would not recommend him.

Dr.Lee and his staff are AMAZING! I moved my entire family from other dentists to Covington Smiles because they have the BEST attitudes, BEST service and EXTREMELY competitive and fair pricing! I won't recommend any other dentist because the people at Covington Smiles have completely won me over and I know they will win you over too!

When the time came for me to shop for a dentist, I asked friends and coworkers for recommendations. Covington Smiles came up several times... And now that my dental woes are behind me, I understand why Doctor Lee's patiences speak so highly of him and his staff. Comfort and confidence are both found while relaxing under Dr Lee's extraordinary skills. Since my only job was to lay there, I had the opportunity to take note of how much thought and detail went in to creating such a relaxing environment. At my age, I have attended more than several dentists. But my experience at Covington Smiles demands that I share this little gem with anyone who is seeking to put fear of the Dentist behind them..

I am one of those people that is afraid of the dentist. I've had bad experiences before and going to a new dentist is nerve-wracking to say the least. When I first went to see Dr Lee, I had mentioned my fear. That was 3 or 4 years ago and in all that time I've not been hurt once at Covington Smiles. Everyone I've dealt with there has made sure I'm very numb for procedures requiring being numb and they are gentle when working on my teeth. I won't go anywhere else.

I've always dreaded going to the dentist, until my sister in law told me about Covington Smiles. Dr Lee and his staff are not only knowledgeable, but also very kind, caring, and most of all understanding. I can't recommend this place enough.

I was referred to Dr. Lee by family when we moved to Seattle and I am glad! Dr. Lee and his staff are always friendly, consistent with following up as I have to visit more frequently for my dental treatments, and I am always impressed with his professionalism every visit. I live 45. min from the office but I consider it worth the drive for the service I know I will receive each time. The office is spacious and modern and certainly inviting for anyone who wants to have a pleasant dental experience! I highly recommend Dr. Lee and his staff!

Horrible dentist. Dr Lee is a liar and a thief. His work falls apart in less than a year. Save your time, go elsewhere. In speaking with several employees the following most recent reviews are paid reviews.
