Dentistry, for me, is about helping people and transforming smiles. I was drawn to the dental field as a child. I wanted to be in healthcare and liked the idea of working with my hands, combining science, medicine, and art, and creating genuine relationships with people.
I understand that going to the dentist makes many people nervous: My team and I strive to maintain a warm and comfortable environment for everyone, through compassion and empathy, and caring for the well-being of the individual, beyond their dental needs.
I grew up in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, and attended Ole Miss for my Bachelor of Science. I was accepted at the University of Mississippi School of Dentistry, where I was awarded my Doctorate of Medical Dentistry. I stayed on at U of M to complete a rigorous general practice residency in order to strengthen my knowledge and skills further.
One of the most exciting aspects of dentistry, I feel, is the ongoing research that leads to new technologies and therapies. Through continuing education, I stay abreast of the latest developments: studying the newest options and incorporating the best into the services I offer.
Additionally, I am an active member of the American Dental Association, St. Augustine Dental Society, and Northeast District Dental Association. These organizations provide a number of continuing education options, from meetings and lectures to seminars and publications.
Ive called St. Augustine home for many years and am glad to be raising a family here. I live with my fiance, Cheryl, whos also my practice administrator, two of three daughters (Hanna, Emma, Gayle), and our dog Lilly.
Most of my free time is devoted to my family. I also enjoy reading, fishing, and kayaking, the local theme parks, and attending local sporting events. I love watching movies, too: one of my favorite characters is Hermey, the elf from the movie Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, who dreamed of being a dentist rather than making toys!
I happily set aside time to be the dental provider for the women living at the Alpha-Omega Miracle Home and volunteer at the Good Samaritan Wildflower Clinic, too. I believe God gave me a talent and I should use that talent, to the best of my ability, to help others. It is an honor to have that opportunity.
Hello and welcome! My name is Cheryl and Im the practice administrator. I handle a range of administrative duties, along with insurance and billing, and because I am an expanded functions dental assistant, I can work chairside when needed. I love talking with, getting to know, and educating people about their dental care. Being able to put patients at ease, helping them know they are in safe and caring hands, is the best experience!
Hi! Im Grace and well probably meet in the clinic during your visit. As a dental assistant, Ill set up the room for your treatment, seat you and make sure youre comfortable, and stay chairside to assist Dr. Lee while supporting you. I also make temporary crowns, take X-rays and impressions, and order supplies. I am a people person and look forward to getting to know you: If theres ever anything you need, please let me know!
Originally from Pittsburgh, I moved to the St. Augustine area when I was three: Im still a Steelers fan at heart! When Im not working, I enjoy sleeping, going to the movies, being with friends and, most of all, sharing time with my son.
Im busy when not at work: Im currently in college and studying to become an elementary school teacher! While classes keep me busy, I enjoy music, watching Netflix, going to good restaurants, and being with my 16-year-old Jack Russell, Lilly.
Hello and welcome! Im Lynn, a dental hygienist, and my goal is to help you achieve and maintain optimal dental health. I provide thorough and very gentle cleanings, a range of preventive treatments, and offer practical oral health information so you are able to take control of your smiles health. Our office is a friendly and happy space, where each person who walks in is treated like family. I know youll soon feel at home here!
I moved to Jacksonville more than ten years ago, in order to be close to my son and his family. I love living on the St. Johns River! I enjoy time with my family, walking and biking, and shopping. I also love weekend getaways and traveling to new places.
For Dr. Tony Lee and our team, dentistry is a means of supporting the St. Augustine community. We are honored to help our friends and neighbors lead healthier, happier lives, with beautifully natural-looking smiles they love to share!
Everything we do starts with learning who you are and what you want from dental care. That involves us talking and listening, asking questions, answering your questions, and understanding your desires and concerns.

While visiting the area, I had a dental emergency. Previous reviews for Dr. Tony Lee were good so I called to see if I could be seen soon. Brenda was very pleasant and helpful to manage scheduling me into an appointment the next morning. Once in, the office staff were especially friendly and welcoming. An X-ray and exam by Dr. Lee were done quickly. His calm demeanor, knowledgeable explanation of the issue and action taken were perfect. If I lived in the area, I would be happy to make him my regular dentist.

Dr Lee takes the time to talk with you and doesn't push any unnecessary treatments. All the front desk gals are super happy and friendly making it a stress free experience. Both hygienists I've had have been careful and I'm in and out in less than 30 minutes. Love the high power water pick they use to clean with instead of the scary scraper tool that takes forever!!

I was very impressed from the time I walked in to the time I walked out. Very warm and friendly environment. Everyone was knowledge about each of their duties and made my visit very nice. I am not a fan of going to dentist however they made everything as pleasant that could be. Dr Tony was up front and made me feel very comfortable with what needs to be done. I will be sending my family here as well as referring anyone else that needs a dentist.

Dr Lee is the most kind, caring, and passionate dentist I have ever been treated by. He does not push unneeded procedures or treatment. He explains everything thoroughly. He answers any questions you have as well. The entire office is friendly, kind, warm hearted and they make it completely stress-free. Everytime I am finished at Dr Lee's office, I am very happy. He and his whole team have changed my life and I am thankful to have found such an amazing dentist.
