Dr Lee has extensive experience in private practice, previously working in Sydney’s CBD, eastern suburbs, lower north shore, western suburbs, and Canberra.
He has always had a passion for teaching and mentoring. In his early university years, he tutored and mentored year 10-12 students, and also went back to his high school to coach basketball and football. As a health professional, Dr Lee encourages patients to ask questions and will make sure every patient fully understands what is happening every step of the way. This results in patients improving not only their oral but also general health.
Dr Lee is currently a clinical instructor for the EODO 3-year mini-residency program in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopaedics in both Australia and Singapore. This is a unique program in Australia and Singapore which teaches general dentists how to proceed in orthodontic procedures. It is the only didactic program taught by the world-renowned orthodontist and Dr Lee’s mentor, Dr Derek Mahony, and is the only program which allows doctors to attain a Certificate, Diploma or Master’s status. Dr Lee also mentors new and recent graduate dentists.
Dr Lee’s personal characteristics and strengths of having a gentle, humble and genuine caring nature, and cheerful personality allow his patients to relax and enjoy their time spent with him.
Dr Lee’s particular interests and passion lie in practicing holistic dentistry by aiming to find the cause of a problem and not just treating the symptom; the importance of a healthy airway and posture, and its intimate relationship with sleeping and breathing habits in growing children; and, the promotion of healthy facial growth and development in children.
Dr Lee is registered with the AHPRA Dental Board, is a member of the Australian Dental Association, and clinical instructor for the Excellence in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics mini-residency program in Australia and Singapore.
Dr Lee is a dentist in Alexandria.
