Dr Lee and his assistant were great. They explained every procedure and it all turned out fast and efficient. The office staff is also great. They handled all billing accurately and quickly and were very accommodating working around my busy schedule.
Dr Lee and his assistant Christina were amazing!!! I felt very reassured with them going over my post-op instructions for me to follow. They didn’t assume I knew what to do and since I am older, some things needs to be gone over… even if I had the same kind of surgery before! Thank you Dr Lee and Christine🙏
Everyone was welcoming and helpful. It was a long procedure but Dr Lee and his assistant kept checking in on me. This is my third implant and hopefully the last. If not, I’ll be back.
Since our founding in 1974, our practice has prioritized delivering the highest quality of periodontal care and an exceptional patient experience. In 2022, we brought an Endodontist onto the team so that we could better serve our patients with cross-collaborative specialty care. All of our specialists are focused on the support structures of the teeth: the gums, roots of the teeth, bone, and dental implants. Our name, Foundation Dental Specialists, reflects our commitment to making sure your smile is as healthy and strong as possible.
Cone Beam CT (CBCT) technology allows us to get a detailed, accurate picture of your smile so we can better plan your treatment.
Mounted microscopes are used by our endodontists during root canal treatments to make sure all the infection is removed, and to improve treatment outcomes.
Using our state-of-the-art intraoral scanners, our doctors are able to get accurate digital, mess-free impressions for implant planning and other treatments.
Foundation Dental Specialists are committed to providing a superior patient experience. From the moment you walk through the door, you will be greeted by a friendly and caring team that prioritizes your comfort and well-being.
Foundation Dental Specialists understand that each patient is unique, and they take the time to develop personalized treatment plans tailored to the individual needs and goals of each patient.
We believe that the little details are important. You shouldn’t have to spend ten minutes searching for a place to park, and you definitely shouldn't have to pay for it when you find a spot! Our parking lot is located behind the building, off of Hudson Avenue.
