Industry Dentist

Get to Know
Dr. Kerry Lee

Dr. Lee believes her job is about empowering people as well as taking care of their teeth. She strives to help her patients truly understand their oral health so they can assess what is and isn’t normal and know how to handle it with confidence. She truly loves dentistry. It's a craft, and there are only a few specialties that combine healthcare and art in such an intertwined way. Beauty is not "one-size-fits-all," but a good smile never goes out of fashion.

Why Did You Decide to Become a Dentist?

“My father was a dentist. He owned this dental practice before he retired after 45 years. I have been around dentistry my entire life. When I was in college, I realized that I love working with my hands and that details matter. These are two critical characteristics to being a good technical surgeon. More than that, it became clear to me that I wanted to help people. Dentistry has been the perfect way to use my skill set to care for others.”

Education & Background

After doing her undergrad at Pomona College, Dr. Lee was accepted into the University of Southern California School of Dentistry, earning her DDS. For the past 25+ years, she has been actively engaged in staying current with advances in dental technology. She uses advanced radiography (digital X-rays and CBCT) and imagery (intraoral cameras and scanners) to aid in diagnosing and treating our patients. CAD/CAM technology lets her provide same-day crowns in most cases and utilizes FDA-cleared medical-grade 3D printing technology for rapid in-office production of dental appliances. Clear aligner therapy can also help patients achieve their functional and esthetic goals.

Committed to progress, Dr. Lee keeps her training and knowledge up to date through her memberships in the:

  • American Dental Association
  • California Dental Association
  • San Gabriel Valley Dental Society
  • Spear Education
  • CEREC Doctors

Outside of the Dental Office, What Do You Like to Do?

Married for almost 25 years, Dr. Lee and her husband have raised two adult children, and they also have two dogs (and are always on the verge of rescuing more). When she isn’t working, you’ll almost always find her spending quality time with them, making memories with family and friends.
