More time with your dentist. More personal care.
At Irvine Dentistry, Dr. Christianne Lee personally performs your cleaning and your exam — so you spend your entire visit with your dentist.
What if you actually spent your visit with your dentist?
At many dental offices, most of a routine visit is spent with a hygienist, and the dentist comes in near the end. Irvine Dentistry works differently. Dr. Lee personally performs your cleaning and exam, giving you more time together to talk, ask questions, and understand what she sees.
Why the extra time matters
More time to talk
There's time throughout your appointment to ask questions as they come up, and to hear what Dr. Lee is seeing.
One dentist who gets to know you
Dr. Lee is the only dentist at the practice, so it's the same person looking at your teeth year after year.
Fewer handoffs
The same dentist who performs your cleaning also completes your exam and talks through what she sees with you.
What that's like, in patients' words
“Dr Lee will spend time with you & answer your questions. You'd never feel like you being rushed out because another patient is waiting.”
“Excellent on everything. She's careful and thorough on the cleaning. She has fixed many of my tooth as well.”
“She's very detailed and informative. She makes sure to answer all of my questions and she is very caring.”
Meet Dr. Christianne Lee
Preventive care has been part of Dr. Lee's career from the beginning. Before becoming a dentist, she trained as a dental hygienist at USC, then went on to the University of the Pacific's Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry for her doctorate. She has taught as a clinical instructor at USC's School of Dentistry.
Even after earning her dental degree, she continued performing her patients' cleanings herself. It’s a service she has always valued — and it gives her more time directly with the people she cares for.
A Southern California native, Dr. Lee is also an animal lover and shares her home with Tammie, a rescued Cavapoo.

Your first visit with Dr. Lee
Your first appointment isn't built around a quick check-in with the dentist at the end. You'll spend your visit with Dr. Lee as she gets to know you, your oral health, and any concerns or questions you'd like to discuss.
- Digital x-rays, taken as needed
- A thorough exam
- Your cleaning, performed by Dr. Lee where that's clinically appropriate
- What she found, explained in plain terms
- Time for your questions
- If treatment is needed, we'll review your options and a cost estimate
- ✓ Thorough exam
- ✓ Digital x-rays
- ✓ Cleaning with Dr. Lee
Not valid with insurance. Patients who need periodontal treatment are given a separate estimate before any work begins.
- ✓ Emergency exam
- ✓ Digital x-rays
Does not include a cleaning. Any treatment needed is quoted before it starts.
Comfortable from the moment you sit down
Your comfort is our priority. From personal TVs featuring Netflix and YouTube to cozy blankets and stress balls, our operatories are fully equipped to help you relax. We're here to make every visit a smooth, positive experience.
Clear recommendations. Thoughtful options.
Dr. Lee's job at the end of an exam is to tell you what she sees, what your choices are, and what she'd recommend — so the decision about your care is one you can actually make.
- An old filling that's still sound doesn't need replacing just because it's visible
- Implants are an excellent answer in the right situation, and not always the right one
- The right recommendation depends on the person, the tooth, and the situation — not simply on which treatment is available
