The quality of care and kindness mixed with the most evolved technics in dental Implantology today makes this the only place I will go for implants . Dr Lee is an innovator and expert in his field not to mention a humanitarian. I highly recommend him and completely trust his low invasive approach. I have had 5 implants and a sinus lift and am totally looking forward to seeing Dr Lee for continued treatment.

I just completed a top-to-bottom repair of my mouth. Crowns across every tooth in my mouth. I was suffering from extreme bruxism (tooth grinding), I'd grind hard during the day and even worse at night when I slept. That mixed with a bridge that I had done a number of years ago which really accelerated the deterioration of my teeth on the bottom left side of my mouth, really did a number on me. Had I not acted soon, I would be looking at dentures. I'm only 39 years old so that would have been devastating to me. Fear not though, this story has a happy ending.I truly can't say enough about this team. World Class doesn't even describe it. There are a number of things/people that make this place special. I'm going to say something specific about each person I had the pleasure of interacting with.Pedro was there for me from Day 1 and he always made sure that I was taken care of both quickly and efficiently every visit I had. He was friendly and knowledgeable about anything I asked him and was empathetic to my situation. He helped with my first dental implant and placement of hardware that was needed in preparation for my crown work and was there with me helping out until the work was done. Thank you, Pedro!Paul was always pleasure to see when I went in for my check ups. He's knowledgeable, very intelligent, super friendly and just a talented individual who is going to go far and achieve great things in his field. His bright and upbeat attitude was always something to look forward to when I came into the office. He helped Dr. Lee design and create the crowns that I'm now wearing. They literally look like my actual teeth should. You'd never know these were crowns. I can't thank you enough for everything, Paul! I owe you big time!Daphne was my constant for the majority of my preparation for the eventual crown work I got done. I needed to have "bite-turbo" placed on my molars to widen the gap between my upper and lower mandible which worked in coordination with orthodontic hooks which were cemented onto my teeth and orthodontic bands that would, over time, lengthen my teeth so that they were long enough to support my crowns when the time came. Daphne made sure every time I went into the clinic to take the time to grind down the old bite turbo material and replace it with new material. Any time that didn't happen, my grinding would immediately pop the new material off and I'd be back pretty much a day or so after my visit to get new material applied. Daphne recognized this early and did what she had to in order to make the bite turbo last between each bi-weekly checkup. I can't thank you enough, Daphne! My GF is IN LOVE with my new teeth!Dr. Sam Lee is a visionary and, without his expertise and attention to detail, none of this would have worked out the way it did. From Day 1, he made the process as easy as possible. He always kept me informed about what was needed from me in order for him to be able to do what was needed. He was friendly with me and empathetic toward me at all times. I always felt comfortable with him and his team members. He really went out of his way to make this experience both affordable and as pleasant as it could be. The design work he did for my crowns is nothing short of perfect. You'd have no idea I was wearing crowns unless you were a dentist. In the end, I'm looking at a smile that I haven't seen in years (honestly my smile has never looked this good). My self-confidence is back and things are only going to get better from here!Dr. Art Lyford... how do I even put this into words? He flew out here to San Diego from New Hampshire where he lives, dug his heals in with me and did the great majority of my crown work across a 72 hour gauntlet. We did 22 hours of time in the chair across those 3 days. He has such a wonderful personality and made me feel as comfortable as possible given the scenario. Getting this kind of work done isn't easy by any means but he stuck it out with me and his attention to detail never wavered, not even close. All the way down to the last tooth, he made sure the crowns were a perfect fit for me and will last me a lifetime. I really can't say enough about him. It felt like he was family to me and only wanted what was best for me. Thank you, Dr. Art, you've changed my life for the better. I'd recommend this practice to anyone looking for that "Hollywood Smile" and to be cared for by a world class team of dentistry professionals. You won't be disappointed!
