Whether performing volunteer service or working on an emergency procedure, my approach to dentistry remains the same: to listen to my patient, understand their needs, and provide the best and most gentle treatment possible. My dental journey has taken me all over the country and world, and I am now ready to be at service here in Centralia. I will do my utmost to earn your trust.
However, in the summer of 2020 tragedy struck as my parents home was the first to burn down in the Cherry Valley California wildfires. They lost their home and all their earthly possessions. It was at this point that I stepped away from a comfortable job and life and decided to take over my own dental practice in order to be able to support my parents in their golden years. Although I miss my patient family and staff in Everett, I am starting the next chapter in Centralia WA and hope to serve the community to the best of my ability.
My philosophy has always been to listen to my patients and to be as gentle as possible with treatment. I dislike pressure or sales tactics and prefer open dialogue with my patients about their treatment options, realistic expectations, and working within finances. I hope your visit reveals that I genuinely care about my patients and will earn your trust in taking care of your oral health for the long haul. Thanks for reading a little about our dental practice and how I might be able to serve you.

I had cracked a tooth over the weekend. On zero notice, despite a packed schedule, they were able to take care of the problem tooth that day. Great receptionist, assistant and dentist!

We just switched to Smile Centralia. I can't believe how great they are. My son is autistic and freaks out over the dentist the Doc made him comfortable made sure he had YouTube on a device for him and magically gave him shots and filling without him hardly noticing. He was so great with our son it was truly unbelievable! Thanks so much for a great experience! You are so glad we found you.

Dr. Lee and his team were swift, effective, smart, and reasonable. They got me in next day for an emergency tooth extraction. I really couldn't have been luckier to be seen by them.

I was another last minute pt that received care from Dr. Lee. I let my tooth issue go longer than I should have, which created an emergency for me and for Smile Centralia. They had me in and out pretty quickly considering they had to extract a badly damaged and infected tooth. It was difficult to get the remaining pieces of the damaged tooth out, but it didn't hurt because Dr. Lee took time to make sure I was properly numb. I highly recommend this dentist, and staff. Bring your headphones and music and if something becomes uncomfortable, just raise your hand, that simple. I never had to interrupt him due to discomfort-he did a great job numbing an inflamed and infected gum/tooth area. If you put these kinds of things off like I do, you know what I'm talking about when it comes to numbing an area that has been throbbing in pain for days or weeks. I had some other health considerations that had to be factored in and that was also handled with no issues. Thanks again to office staff for getting me in so soon, and to Dr. Lee and assistant for excellent care.

Dr. Lee is possibly one of the best Dentist's I've been to in a long time. He does great work and is very easy to talk with and the staff is amazing. They all make the office a very comfortable atmosphere for being at the Dentist.

I was able to get an immediate appointment the same day as a new patient. They've also done two of the follow up appointments within 2 weeks. The staff is friendly and efficient. Great work folks! 2years later, I'm always impressed by the cleverness of Dr Lee's solutions to my teeth puzzles. I appreciate his care about costs and efficient use of my time and money.
