DR. JENNY M. LEE, DDS | Restorative Dentist
Dr. Lee is captivated by the process of getting to the root of a problem, much like Sherlock Holmes—gathering data and drawing insights to reduce the risk of dental disease while optimizing overall health. At the heart of it, she’s a true dental geek!
Her dental journey began at 15, when she started as a dental assistant after school. Having experienced various styles of practice, Dr. Lee’s core beliefs focus on creating a trauma-informed, patient-centered, and relationship-based practice grounded in science. A graduate of SUNY Binghamton, New York University College of Dentistry, and a hospital residency at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital, she ensures every decision is made collaboratively, aligning with the patient’s core values and life challenges, all while staying rooted in scientific principles.
The art of her care stems from the insights and experience gained by working with people from diverse backgrounds, coupled with ongoing education at esteemed postgraduate institutions like The Pankey Institute, The Kois Center, The Academy of CranioFacial Pain, and The Somatic Experiencing International for trauma therapy. Dr. Lee wants her patients to feel empowered and confident in their decisions, knowing that their dental health choices are well-thought-out and built to last. Above all, she strives to ensure everyone feels heard, leaving her office with confidence and peace of mind.
Her greatest passion is her son, Revel, and she finds joy in watching him grow and learn, inspired by those around him. With the confidence that he will one day give back to the world what it has given him, she cherishes every moment of his brilliant journey.
