I’ve had quite a bit of work done by Dr. Lee these past couple months and he is incredible. The entire staff is so pleasant and makes you feel comfortable and at ease. Dr. Lee does amazing work and constantly checks in to make sure you’re doing ok and are comfortable. I’ve had mixed experiences with previous dentists over the years, some good, some terrible, so I didn’t know what to expect coming to a new dentist. I’m so glad I went with A Lifetime of Smiles…for the kind of procedures that seem overwhelming and scary to most, they make it painless and easy. I’ll be sticking with Dr. Lee and the ALOS team moving forward. Highly recommend.

From the moment you walk in, the building feels warm, welcoming, and safe. It’s the kind of place that puts you at ease right away. The hygienists are all sweet and caring, and they make every visit feel easy. The dentists are just as great. They’re friendly, they explain everything well, and they always make sure you’re comfortable the whole time. Everything I’ve had done there has left me completely satisfied. They’re a trustworthy place with good people, and I’m really glad to have them.

I want to share how thoroughly pleased I am with A Lifetime of Smiles!! I called the office on Tuesday morning after experiencing sharp pain that morning and the night before when anything cold touched a particular tooth. I asked if someone could look at it and was told I could come in at 1:00 that afternoon. Dr. Pat was absolutely wonderful!! His diagnosis was that I needed a root canal and he explained what it involved. He said that he was all booked up that afternoon, but that Dr. Lee does excellent work and had some time to do it, so I agreed. Two hours later the work was done. Dr. Lee did such a great job!! He made sure I was comfortable and asked if I had any questions. He explained what he was doing and kept making sure I was feeling fine. I was so happy to not have any more pain and that it could be taken care of that same day. Everyone there was so friendly and accommodating!! I won’t hesitate to go back and would recommend them to anyone!!

I’ve had two appointments with Dr. Pat in the past couple weeks one being today and all I can say is that he is absolutely amazing!!! You could not ask for a better dentist! Jenna, his assistant today was so sweet, so efficient and able to just go with the flow when my teeth did not want to cooperate. They had to make changes to the plan today to do what’s best for my teeth. I’m just so grateful for both of them today and all the hard work they did! At my first appointment, he was also great! He fixed my crown that fell off that was put on by another dentist at another place many years ago, and Dr. Pat made it perfect!!!!

Dr Lee and his staff were absolutely amazing! I was able to get in next day as a new patient for severe tooth pain. He found a crack in my molar and was able to schedule me for a root canal three days later! The staff is super friendly, they explained everything as they went along and I was virtually pain free throughout the whole procedure. I was there for about 5 hours but He was also able to set my crown the same day! The day of my procedure after the numbing wore off I had pain, however the next day I felt like a new person with hardly any pain!! My experience was so different than my previous root canal I had done 1.5 years ago. I won’t go anywhere else. Thank you Dr Lee at A Lifetime of Smiles!!
