Gannon Lee DDS

I have been a patient of Dr. Lee’s since he took over the practice from Dr. Taylor who was very highly rated and retired.
Dr. Lee has proven to be more than qualified as a dental expert, and I would encourage anyone looking for a quality dentist to consider Dr. Lee. If you want the best, Dr. Lee has to be on your short list!
He has great technique, «bedside manner» and the results show.
I am pleased with the service I get from Dr. Lee and his staff.
p. s. I do hate going to the dentist, but Dr. Lee makes it tolerable.

I love Dr. Lee and how caring he is. In fact I followed him from San Diego county to Orange County. I flossed more and brushed more!
He is the only dentist I know that offers cell phone number to patients and follows up with a call to see how the patient is feeling. Five stars in my book.

Dr Lee takes his time to work on you and explain each processes instead of trying to rush through just to get the work done (like prior dentist experiences I had). He is a conservative dentist that tries to preserve your existing teeth and don’t try to sell you this and that. The hygienist, Marie, is also amazing. Don’t really even feel the teeth being cleaned and feel relaxed.

Everyone hates the dentist but I have to say I actually enjoyed my experience here. I had a great experience at my previous dentist but had to switch because I moved.
Dr. Lee came highly recommended and I have to say I was very impressed.
The office is very clean and efficient. You don’t have to wait around after you arrive on time. If they schedule you at 10:15 am, you are on the chair at 10:16 am unlike other dentists who try to cram as many patients as they can in a single day. I really appreciate the fact that they see their patients according to their schedule appointment.
Dr. Lee and the staff are very knowledgeable and have a sense of pride when they are working unlike other dentists who seem to just go through the daily routine. They explain each process of the visit and communicate very well with you what needs to be done and they educate you on how you can improve your dental health.
If you’re unhappy with your dentist or are in search of one in the area, I highly recommend seeing Dr. Lee and his staff. It will make you want to go into the dentist and improve your dental health.

I absolutely hate going to the dentist office. Many people can relate. They’re always trying to upsell you for things you were never aware of. Everything they touch hurts you because they don’t care. I have a high pain tolerance but sometimes it’s just not ok.
My husband and I went to Dr. Lee’s office not to long ago. First of all, they were so accomodating to have our times back to back so that really helped us save on a lot of back and forth. Then we were introduced to Dr. Lee. He let us know that we would be meeting with his hygenist and that after we have done an xray and some cleaning, we would be seen by him to take some pictures and overall review. Growing up with cavities my whole life, I was expecting lots of mumbo jumbo about how I needed to do this procedure and that procedure. It wasn’t like that at all. After the hygenist did my x-​rays, she proceeded to give me a cleaning. I’m a bleeder and hate this part but she was so gentle!!! I was stoked. I told her that I would set up my next appt right away so I could get cleaned in 6 mos. (I’m usually a once a year or two years girl, I know, it’s gross, but it usually hurts). After Dr. Gannon met me and took pictures of possible problem areas in the future and EXPLAINED WHY I would need it. It makes sense when someone is showing you visual evidence of what may need to be fixed.
I let him know that I was looking forward to seeing him in 6mos.
Honestly, it is HARD TO FIND good dentist that care and that are upfront and prepare you with expectations for your next trip. I am looking forward to my cleaning in 6 mos. =)

When I chipped my front tooth early in May, I thought that the chip was small enough that I’d just get used to it. I hate going to the doctor or dentist, unless its for my scheduled bi-​annual teeth cleaning. After trying to ignore the chip for several weeks, I felt that the chip was either increasing in size or it was just bothering me more and more each day. My speech was being affected on some words, too.
I decided to call my dentist during the week before Memorial Day so that I could do whatever necessary to get the chip repaired. I feared the worst. What I didn’t expect was that my dentist was on vacation that week! After mentioning my «plight» to my coworkers that day, one of them highly recommended Dr. Gannon Lee in nearby Mission Viejo. She said that he always talks to each member of her family on a down to earth level, calmly explaining procedures and options when necessary. Since my only other option was to wait another week and hope that my dentist could squeeze me in before June, I called Dr. Lee. He was able to see me the next afternoon… at the end of his busy day of current patients.
I left that next afternoon not only extremely satisfied, but also amazed that my smile actually looks better now than before the chip.
Dr. Lee was calm, patient, and knowledgable. I was really impressed by how politely he spoke to his front desk receptionist and his assistant, even when they needed his help for clarification — and this was past normal business hours had ended, so I’m sure he had a long day. A very kind guy. He even pointed out that my teeth were showing signs of wear at night, possibly from stress. I’m going to look into getting a nightguard now.
To solve my chip issue, Dr. Lee took photos of my teeth and projected them onto the monitor at eye level. I got to see a clear, large image of my 2 front teeth. He then explained my options, we decided to grind them down little by little, and I got to hold a mirror to decide when my 2 front teeth matched. I was thrilled. So thrilled, that I asked to take a before and after photo of my teeth to show my friends, family, and coworkers.
Dr. Lee understands how customer service works. His knowledge, patience, and modesty would make any patient feel that they’re making the right choice by sitting in his office. I highly recommend!

I know… I know… when someone reviews a medical provider, it’s usually followed up with, «You’ve got to see MY DOCTOR… he/​she is the BEST!» Of course, that implies that you have been visiting and turning over your trust and healthcare to a QUACK, or voo-​doo practicioner, right?
Well, in this case, and being very skeptical of referals, I am right on the brink of saying… «If you’re in need of a new dentist, or dissatisfied with your current dentist, AND… you’re looking for «ultra personalized service»… than you might want to check out Dr. Lee’s office in Mission Viejo.
My last visit to a dentist in this area was a total disaster. And it was because they gave the impression of running a «Mill»… where they «get ‘em in, collect the money, and get ‘em out!» If you’re interested, just search my reviews under «dentist.»
I had only a couple days until my PPO dental plan ran out, and needed a cleaning. But what I didn’t know was that I really needed a deep cleaning. I saw Dr. Lee’s office when I was visiting my primary care MD in the same building. So I took a chance. It really paid off.
Pat, who runs the office, was so professional and personable. Then there was Yolanda, the tech who took my Xrays, and tolerated my «gag reflex issues.» She was super patient. And Marie, Dr. Lee’s hygienist, has to be one of the best! I’m a total whimp when it comes to dental pain, or any pain, and she had a technique of applying topical and injected pain relief that had me asking… «So Marie, when are you going to do the injections?» She had already finished! No pain, but huge gain!
Most impressive… After finishing up Wednesday with Marie doing the final three quadrants of deep cleaning, I anticipated some discomfort after the drugs wore off… but NO PAIN, DISCOMFORT… NOOOTHING! I’ve had deep cleanings before, and there was always some after-​issue, but not this time. They started my first quadrant on my initial visit two days before, right after my X-​rays and Dr. Lee’s exam. The fact that they were able/​willing to book me in within the same week to finish up and meet the insurance dead line, was greatly appreciated.
Bottom line… I was in and out within my insurance coverage, Dr. Lee did the initial exam, and then supervised when needed during the remainder of my care. With a full staff of Dr. Lee, and his three assistants, it was a personable, enjoyable experience.
And yes… «You’ve got to try Dr. Lee and his staff. They’re «The Best!»

Dr. Lee is not only a great dentist he is a wonderful person and makes you feel very comfortable, because going to the dentist can be a scary thing.
He is very professional but at the same time very warm and very good about explaining things so you don’t get so nervous… His staff is also very nice and Marie his hygienist is excellent !!
You will love Dr. Lee and his staff…
