A brief professional biography of Sean S. Lee, D.D.S.
After receiving his DDS degree from the UCLA School of Dentistry, as an avid researcher, he has completed numerous research projects and published more than a hundred publications including abstracts in the dental journals. As of this writing, he holds a faculty position as a professor in a dental school in California. He has authored nine books, for example, “BREATH: causes, Diagnosis and Treatment of Oral malodor, Second Edition” and “MOD: Modi Operandi of Dentistry”. These books were intended to provide information on oral malodor and practice management for clinicians.
Diligent in helping his patients and colleagues, some of whom have had concerns regarding all issues well beyond the mouth, Dr. Lee began to study and write. Sharing, with no frills, his experiences and issues that have arisen during his professional career is most appreciated by other researchers, dental professionals, and the public. He values his patients.

FAQs
How is an Appointment Arranged?
It is necessary that we work by appointment. Our office hours are flexible but normally you can reach us at 909-338-1782. We will make special arrangements in certain cases. Unfortunately, emergencies do occur which occasionally cause delays in our schedule. However we will try to do our best to honor your appointment time. If a cancellation is absolutely necessary, we request at least a 48-hour notice. We greatly appreciate it.
What Happens on my First Visit?
When you first arrive we will discuss your medical history as it relates to your dental care. Then we will evaluate your teeth, gums and other soft tissue of the mouth. We may need recent x-rays along with other diagnostic devices. Finally, we will put together a complete treatment plan, before proceeding with treatment. We will make sure you thoroughly understand what is necessary, what the options are, and what the fees will be.
Do I need X-Rays?
Yes. To discover and protect you from any hidden diseased conditions. We use digital x-ray, so exposure to radiation will be much lower than conventional x-ray.
What If I Have Extreme Pain Over the Weekend?
When an emergency arises during office hours, we will make every effort to see you immediately. If the emergency occurs when we are not in the office, please call the office and follow the instructions. We will get back to you at the earliest possible time to relieve emergency situation.
Do You Accept My Insurance?
Call us! We will be happy to look into it for you and our staff will assist you. Treatments for certain conditions can be covered by your medical and medicare insurances. We are happy to advise our patients for not only dental insurances, but also medical insurances coverages. Insurance companies have a deductible and a yearly maximum. Your insurance company may deny payment of necessary treatment. From time to time, patients are disappointed with their reimbursements. Some carriers pay a percentage of the actual bill and others pay a percentage of a fee arbitrarily set by the insurance company. It will vary depending on the plan you have purchased. Therefore, the actual dollar amount you will receive cannot be determined by our office. Please understand that Professional care is provided to you, our patient, and not to the insurance company. Thus the insurance company is responsible to you the patient, and you to us. After your insurance claim has been processed we will either bill you for the unpaid balance or issue you a check for any over payment. Keep in mind that prevention and early detection of problems are the least expensive forms of insurance.
Do I Have To Get A Shot or Drill Every Time?
Of course not. If we find the cavity early, the Micro Abrasion offers state-of-the-art computer technology that delivers a gentle abrasive stream of particles to the cavity. Actually there is no need for the hand piece to make contact with the tooth.
One of the main benefits is lack of heat and vibration usually associated with the dental drill.
As a result, the most patients report no unpleasant sensation and no pain.
