Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions that mimic natural teeth in function and appearance. This treatment involves surgically placing titanium posts into the jawbone to serve as artificial roots, supporting dental crowns, bridges, or dentures. Ideal candidates have sufficient bone density or may qualify after bone grafting procedures.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners offer discreet orthodontic treatment for straightening teeth without metal braces. Custom-made plastic trays gradually shift teeth into proper alignment while allowing easy removal for eating and cleaning. Treatment requires consistent wear for 20-22 hours daily with tray changes every 1-2 weeks.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns restore damaged or decayed teeth by covering them completely with custom-fabricated caps. These restorations protect weakened teeth, improve aesthetics after root canals, and serve as anchors for dental bridges. Crowns typically last 5-15 years with proper oral hygiene and care.
Emergency Dentistry
Emergency dental services address acute oral health issues like tooth pain, fractures, infections, and knocked-out teeth. Our practice prioritizes timely interventions for trauma cases and severe dental discomfort to prevent complications and preserve natural teeth whenever possible.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening treatments effectively remove surface stains and deep discoloration for enhanced smiles. Clinical-grade hydrogen peroxide formulations deliver superior results compared to over-the-counter products, with options for in-office treatments and customized at-home maintenance trays.

Questions
Are dental implants suitable for everyone?
Most healthy adults qualify for implants. Jawbone density is critical - some patients may need bone grafting before placement. A consultation determines individual eligibility.
How do clear aligners compare to traditional braces?
Aligners offer removability and aesthetics but require patient compliance. Braces allow more complex movements while being fixed in place throughout treatment.
What happens during a dental checkup?
Checkups include professional cleaning, oral cancer screening, cavity detection, gum health assessment, and personalized hygiene recommendations. X-rays may be taken as needed.
How can I relieve tooth pain before an emergency appointment?
Rinse with warm saltwater, use over-the-counter pain medication, apply dental cement to cracked teeth, and avoid extreme temperatures until professional care is available.
What payment options are accepted?
We accept major credit cards, CareCredit financing, checks, and cash. Insurance processing assistance is available for covered procedures.
How long do dental crowns typically last?
Crowns generally last 5-15 years depending on oral hygiene, material selection, and regular checkups. Avoiding excessive biting forces prolongs their lifespan.

We are grateful that we were referred to this orthodontist. My son completed his 2 years of braces (yay!) The staff is always welcoming and know us once we walk in. They are very patient and answer all questions we have. They do their best to always accommodate with our schedule.

Today my son was a first timer here at of Dr Peter Lee Office and his very first time getting braces at a very young age (8). Doctor was very understanding and helpful when I told him the situation of my son and why he would need them at such a young age, I couldve waited until my son was a bit older but because my son wasnt feeling his smile I had to do something about it now. Dr. Lee was my my third opinion (I said yes to him). He made my son feel welcome and safe telling him what he will be doing and everything will be ok. His staff are very nice and professional at what they do

My son and I did our braces treatment at this office, and I couldnt be happier about the outcome. Prices were just right, since doctors are highly knowledgable and explain with detail about any questions you might have. All the staff is nice. The establishment is super clean... very professional. I feel very grateful to each one of them.

Coming here was one of the best decisions Ive ever made. I had braces before so straight teeth wasnt a problem, it was my two baby teeth on the side of my front teeth. I wanted a full bright smile. I would never smile in pictures, but now Im not afraid to! They were so fast with the process and extremely EXTREMELY friendly. Especially the front desk ladies. They were always so kind and helpful, made me feel super comfortable in coming back again. The dentists know exactly what theyre doing and theyre so nice and helpful as well. I will definitely recommend them to anyone looking
