Dr. Lee has been my dentist for about 3+ years now and he's incredible. Embarrassingly, I went several years without going to the dentist because I was scared and had a handful of negative experiences. Dr. Lee and his team made me feel comfortable right from the start. they were incredibly patient and kind with me with everything from explaining my insurance coverage to explaining exactly what care I needed and why (because my past experiences had me nervous and skeptical). Dr. Lee's team not only took care of my regular cleanings, but got me through a necessary root canal I'd been avoiding, and he took out all of my wisdom teeth - truly it speaks to the care and compassion of his team that I was able to overcome my personal hurdles in such a short period of time. they were always very thorough, helpful, and informative. read more

Because of congenital teeth issues and bad insurance (not accepted by this practice), I can't use Dr. Lee for all my dental care, but I've definitely been very satisfied with the work I've had there. I first saw him in the early 2000s, and the work he did then is still going strong. The more recent work is also great. I've had a couple of veneers, some root canals and crowns, and regular fillings. The front office and all the staff are personable and professional, and Dr. Lee is very good at his job and explains everything very well. When I've had a lot of work done at once, they checked on me over the following days, making sure everything was healing as it should. I wish I could afford to switch to them for everything! read more

I haven't been seen by a dentist in over 5 years so of course, I am long overdue for dental work. My previous dentist is located far from where I live so I looked up a dental office nearby and Kenneth Lee DDS was one of the first offices to pop up. The staff are very knowledgeable and experienced. They are great with patients like me who are basically fearful of dentists. The receptionist did an awesome job at getting me in the same day for a check up. I've never had X-rays taken on me before since I was young at the time but Stephanie took them in a quick and efficient manner. Dr. Lee was very thorough with the exam and in diagnosing the issues present. It turned out that I needed a deep cleaning due to not having any professional cleaning in the past. The hygienist Amanda was very gentle and made sure that I didn't have any discomfort during the procedure. The same went for Dr. Lee when it came to extracting my wisdom teeth. Overall, I think this office does a great job with what they do. I have recommended friends and family to come get dental work here and they loved it as well. read more

Dr Lee is awesome! He educates patients throughly which I greatly appreciate. My Dentist retired last year; I'm a new client of Dr. Lee's practice referred by a close friend, and extremely pleased. He even performed my routine periodontal cleaning, and bonus...he has a sense of humor! I'll keep coming back :-) read more

Kenneth Lee, DDS - Love this! - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Long Beach, California

I first started going to Dr. Lee after a few years of not seeing a dentist. Given I was way overdue, he did not make me feel bad for my teeth' negligence. After 2 deep cleans and one filling, my teeth are bright, white, healthy, and happy. Every time is a good experience in this office. Plus I like how they are upfront with the price of the work to be done. This way you can select what works best for you. read more

Dr. Lee and the staff provide excellent and friendly service. Prior to this, it had been many years since I visited a dentist. I've gotten X-rays, cleanings, and wisdom teeth removed in a quick and timely manner. The care provided is also comprehensive, and the education allows me to understand what is happening. Scheduling is effortless, and I am well-accommodated. Even changing my dental insurance was a breeze as the staff took the initiative. I made sure I chose a dental insurance plan that I could use here as I wanted to avoid going changing dental offices. I plan to keep coming here for years. I have no complaints, only praise! read more

Dr Lee is the Best! And his staff is amazing too! I never have to wait more than 2-3 min when I arrive for my appts. Staff is organized and efficient. Had 4 wisdom teeth pulled and was done in an hour!! Amazing! read more

Dr Lee and his staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and gentle. I had tooth pain due to a loose cap placed by a previous dentist. They were able to fit me with a new crown promptly and it fits better than the previous crown. The dental hygienist was gentle with my mouth. Dr Lee explained my dental rads and tooth condition with my actual tooth pictures and descriptive dental pictures which was very helpful. I will be back for my routine cleaning and I really dislike going to the dentist. read more

Not only did they bait and switch on the fees, they gave me totally wrong information on my insurance. They told me to pay up front and then apply for my discount, and my insurance will pay half at the time of service. So wrong!!! So glad I walked out! read more

I came here to get a dental check up and cleaning. It was my first time at this dentist as I was new to the area. The doctor showed me my ex-rays and explained that I had tooth decay and cavaties, but during our conversation, he was not up front about how many cavaties I actually had. After his spiel, I asked him how many cavities i needed filled just to confirm as he never stated an exact number during my consult. He then replied with "*insert receptionist first name here* will tell you when you check out." That was a huge red flag to me. Shouldn't the doctor be able to tell me how many cavaties I have right then and there as he's analyzing my x rays and teeth? I spoke with the receptionist after per his direction and she told me I needed 6 cavities filled. I immediately thought this was suspicious based on my previous conversation with the doctor. Well, my suspicions were correct as I went to get a 2nd opinion from a reputable dentist and I actually only had 2 cavities that needed filled! So unethical. :( The dental hygienist was also super rough and not friendly at all. The girl who took my ex rays also seemed super inexperienced and it took her over 30 minutes to take my ex rays because she couldn't get it right. Super shady dentist practice. Please do not go here! read more

I have the best dental care in town with Dr. LEE and his team! For years I receive expert treatments and friendly care. I highly recommend his services to all. read more

I came here for the first time today. The receptionist made it easy for me to schedule an appointment and get all the paperwork done, and the dental assistant walked me through everything else. Dr. Lee saved me time and money as another dentist I went to sent me an estimate that was not only overpriced, but dishonest about the services that I needed. I am grateful for Dr. Lee's help and honesty! read more

Really appreciate how patient the staff is, especially with how they allow me to voice concerns that I may have with anything at any time. Staff is very welcoming and friendly, happy to always come back read more

Dr. Lee is an excellent dentist - very thorough and pleasant. He has an experienced team working with him - not mention a lovely office. In my case the issue was an extraction. I've had many over the years and this one was the best I have ever experienced. Only minor and transient discomfort and great followup care. read more

I have been coming here for a couple of months now for some dental work I had been putting off due to COVID-19. I was initially apprehensive due to the ongoing pandemic, but even before arriving I was happy with the precautions they were taking. After filling out a form a few days before my appointment, I confirmed again that I haven't had symptoms, got some hand sanitizer and my temperature scanned upon arrival. I have been very happy with all the services I have had, and follow ups to make sure I feel ok. After receiving a dental implant, I had some questions and the staff were able to contact me and clarify everything right away. Having just been again today, I was surprised to see that Dr Lee also have me a Christmas present on the way out. Everyone here is so nice and the place is so clean and impeccable. This is one of the best dentists I have been to, they couldn't have made me or my wife feel more comfortable, and have helped us out with any paper work we needed for insurance purposes straight away. read more

I was suffering from unbearable toothache during the night. The pulsating pain made me even contemplate executing the 'Cast Away' ice skate treatment. It was that bad. I was able to make an appointment by calling the office. Thanks, Clara! You're a life-saver. Dr. Ken's office is cleaner than the White House. Long story short, I got a root canal done on my lower rightest molar. Dude, his staff put on vaseline on my lips before stretching my mouth open. How thoughtful. Basically, that's how the whole experience went. So thoughtful and meticulous. You know I'll be going back. I want my accountant to be this way too! read more

I had an amazing experience going to this dental office. Maddy was able to schedule me an appointment promptly. Stephanie was careful when taking my X-rays. Dr lee was very thorough in examining my X-rays and telling me what the issues were. He was very polite in assessing the state of my teeth, which was reassuring to me especially because I hadn't been in a dental office in over 2 years. As for my cleaning, the hygienist took very good care of me. When I would normally go for my cleaning it would be painful and my gums would ache during the cleaning, but Amanda was both careful and thorough in her method. This is a great dental office I highly recommend it! read more

The best dental experience I ever had! The staff is friendly and thorough. Dr. Lee is courteous and explained everything as he knew right away I am one of those that wants to know the why's and what's of the treatment. He cares and caters to each patient personally. AND BEST OF ALL, THE CLEANING WAS THE BEST I HAD EVER GOTTEN. It was so thoroughly done without any pain. The office is so clean and the view of the green trees and blue skies from the patient chair makes going to a dental office less of a stressful experience. This makes a HUGE difference!! Thank you, Dr. Lee, Kim, and Clara!! read more

Dr. Lee and associates are very professional and efficient in what they do and make any appointment you have a smooth and easy process!

All the positive reviews are accurate. I was a little nervous switching to a new dentist because I had been burned by my previous dentist. My previous dentist performed a bad root canal and also gave me a horrible crown that I believe ultimately led to the decay of my tooth. Dr Lee is knowledgeable. I like how he takes the extra time to explain the specifics of your case. I had to have an implant done that might have required an expensive sinus lift. He warned me that it might be a possibility, but he wouldn't know until he got in there. I was right at the threshold in terms of millimeters and he just wanted to make sure I got the job done right. He determined there was more than enough room for the implant during the procedure and saved me a lot of money. It was refreshing to know he cared about the quality of his work, but also cared about saving me money. It was a huge relief to say the least! I highly recommend him! He's my new dentist. read more

I went into this office with the idea that they were on my "in-network" per what I was old on the phone. After consult, it was found I needed a root canal and it was around 2,000.00 for service. They maxed out my insurance and then charged me another 1,000 out of pocket, which I was okay with. The work was done and was painless and the end result is amazing. This is where it gets bad - Today I received my EOB from my insurance and I was told they are "out-of-network" and that they over charged me by 800.00 - According to my EOB I should have paid 86.00 out of pocket, not 961.00. The insurance company stated that because they are a premier office, they can charge whatever they want. This is BS - I feel I was wronged and they took my money. Because of their shady practice, I will never go back, regardless of the quality. THE DENTIST AND HIS STAFF ARE ONLY AFTER YOUR MONEY. read more

Always professional and attentive to patient. Been coming here for over 6 years. I've also referred numerous friends and family members. They all love Dr. Lee and his wonderful staff. read more

I had my wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Lee after finding him on Yelp. During the initial consultation, I was asking questions about how often he removed wisdom teeth and his responses were defensive and at times non-responsive to the question I asked. I was honestly trying to get some information to put myself at ease, not attacking his capability as a dentist. I thought I asked him in a friendly way, but maybe it was my fault. Regardless, I've had crowns and root canals with dentists who are much more receptive to questions and happy to answer. When I went in for the procedure he got it done quickly, but maybe a tad too quickly. He began working on a tooth that wasn't fully numb. Needless to say it didn't feel great. When he restarted it was fine, however I was apprehensive and tense due to the feeling from the first try lingering in my mind. This was after I had given him feedback that the side didn't feel quite as numb as the other side. I understand that numbing someone isn't an exact science, but I've got a lot of work done with other dentists where this was never a problem. An overall fine experience, but not the best I've had with a dentist. read more

Dr. Lee is the best dentist we've had! He's very professional and takes his time to answer any questions. I don't know if me being an engineer plays a role but I appreciate the level of detail when he explains to help me understand how each daily habit plays a role in teeth care. Also, his patience and caring personality is what really makes him the best! His staff is awesome! Always positive, energetic, and personable! read more

Amazing experience! I went in the first time with the biggest fear and Dr. Lee and his staff did everything to create a calming environment. Very satisfied with the results and started to bring my 3 yrs old daughter for dental cleaning. Thumbs up to the super efficient Clara!!! read more

Everyone was extremely warm and welcoming. The Dr. Lee was kind, informative, and did a great job on the procedure. I may have been able to get it done a little cheaper somewhere else, who knows...but I'm glad I went to Dr. Lee read more

I work in Long Beach and was looking for a dentist in the area, so I decided to try Dr. Lee based on the previous Yelp reviews. I was very happy that I did. Dr. Lee and his staff are very friendly and professional. They worked with my busy schedule in setting up appointments and the waiting time was very minimal. As a bonus they even have one of those over-the-head personal movie players, and I got to watch Lord of the Rings while having a procedure done! This took my focus away from what was happening in my mouth, which is a very good thing. Other random notes: Dr. Lee took the time to explain everything in detail and answered all of my questions, including even drawing diagrams for me. No parking lot but there is ample street parking right by the office. The exam rooms look out onto the golf course. I was able to print and fill out the required forms ahead of time from Dr. Lee's website, which saved time. I honestly do not have a single complaint about Dr. Lee and would highly recommend him to my family and friends. read more

After distance dictated that I find a new dentist closer to my home than where my previous dentist was located, I fortunately discovered Dr. Lee. He and his staff share knowledge and expertise with patients. The office is welcoming, in fact the entire staff are welcoming and friendly, as well as very accommodating with scheduling. I've been nothing but, and continue to be, satisfied with finding, and becoming a patient of Dr Lee's practice. read more

Dr. Lee and his staff are amazing. They treat you like family and really value the health of their customers. They are extremely sanitized and give you excellent service. They are accommodating to your schedule and are willing to work with you. I highly recommend this practice. read more

After yelping for days I finally stumbled across this office. It was VERY convenient getting an appointment within 48 hours of my call. And prior to my appointment they called to offer me an earlier appointment. I have NO complaints. Dr. Lee, Sophie, and Sabrina were nice, cordial, and professional. I recommend this dentist to any and everyone. read more

We were a bit hesitant to seek out dental care because of COVID, but Dr. Lee's office takes every precaution to keep patients and employees safe during the pandemic. In addition to the confidence of knowing that the office is clean and safe, we were given complete confidence in Dr. Lee's expertise as he was able to completely map out my fiance's extensive dental journey and execute with no complications. We started coming to the office around August of this year knowing my fiance needed major dental work done, but didn't have a plan to proceed. Dr. Lee quickly diagnosed the issues and created a path forward to fix them. They informed us of all the costs and procedures that were required before any of the work started, so there were no surprises and I was able to sort out the finances ahead of time. All in all, it has been a very pleasant process for a not-so pleasant health issue during a not-at-all pleasant time. Dr. Lee and everyone in his office are absolute pro's, and I highly recommend them to anyone who needs teeth work whether it's a routine check up or a major oral surgery. read more

I have been going to Dr. Lee now for almost 5 years. I initially found him through Yelp when I lived only a few blocks from his office. I had not been to a dentist in easily 15 years before that and I was in serious pain from a bad wisdom tooth and gum disease. Ultimately, Dr. Lee was able to take care of all of my issues and today I am pain free. He and his staff always makes you feel comfortable and lets me know whatever problem areas I need to address. I have since moved 25 miles out of the city and still see Dr. Lee. I would not trust anyone else with my dental care. read more

Dr. Lee and his wonderful team are really the best! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dentist. Dr. Lee takes time with you and answers all of your questions. He is extremely knowledgeable and genuinely cares about you as patient. By deciding to go to him was the smartest decision. Sokvy, Clara, and Sabrina are all such a pleasure to see every time I come for my appointments. Sokvy and Clara really helped me out last minute when I needed to change my appointment, which I am very grateful for! Sabrina does an excellent job cleaning your teeth! She also has such a nice personality. I can't say enough great things about Dr. Lee and his team! Thank you all for what you do!!! :) read more
