Dr. Sam H. Lee, DMD, MSD

Dr. Lee is our orthodontist who specializes in the art and science of creating a harmonious relationship between the teeth, the jaws, and the face. Dr. Lee received his Doctor of Dental Medicine from the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Dentistry, graduating at the top 5% of his class. He then obtained his Master of Science in Dentistry as well as his Certificate in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics from one of the nation’s most prestigious orthodontics residencies: Saint Louis University Center for Advanced Dental Education. At the first opportunity since graduation, Dr. Lee became certified by the American Board of Orthodontics, the highest distinction an orthodontist can achieve. Dr. Lee has been trained in the treatment of children, adolescents, and adults and in the use of conventional braces, esthetic braces, and Invisalign. He has also been trained in the care for patients who need jaw surgeries as well as in the utilization of temporary anchorage devices (TAD’s) also known as miniature screw implants (MSI’s). The credentials and the proficiencies are very important in a health care professional in whom you place your trust. But perhaps, what is even more important is that the relationship between you and your doctor is one of mutual respect and open communication. Whether you are 7 years old or 77, you can expect our orthodontist to treat you in the way that you would treat others and would want to be treated yourself. Additionally, Dr. Lee takes the time to educate his patients in various concepts regarding orthodontics and to understand the concerns that they have about their smiles. If you want to improve your facial signature and to enjoy a great experience while doing so, welcome to Torrey Del Mar Dentistry!
