O Smile Dentistry

Dr. Lee and his staff are great! I was told that I needed a crown and a root canal somewhere else but Dr Lee didn’t think so. I like honest dentists and he is one. I was seen quick. The staff was very sweet, they made me feel comfortable and explained to me what was wrong with my tooth. Quick appointment. I Highly recommend them!

One of my friends recommended this place. My dad is the first person in my family who needed to go to see the dentist at that moment. My parents and I went there and it was great! The lady in the front was really nice. My dad satisfied how Dr. Lee has done his job. All of my family is planning to visit next month.

Completely awesome! Dr. Lee is great and professional. He made sure my treatment was done cautiously and everything was ok with my pain. Highly recommended!!!

This was my first visit. I really wanted to like this dental practice based on the Unilocal reviews. Dr. Lee did a thorough job cleaning my teeth and has a very kind and gentle personality, as do his assistants. A couple things that turned me off however: I got gouged once inside my lip by the manual dental pick he was aggressively using to clean my teeth (at times it almost felt like I was having a tooth pulled out, that’s how hard he ran the pick between some of my teeth). Also, I unfortunately don’t speak Korean at all so this language barrier became an issue at the end of my appointment as he tried to explain to me in limited English how, based on the photos he took of my teeth, I have 2 cavities and need 13 other fillings for preventative reasons. This caught me off guard since at my last cleaning 3 months ago (I have to get quarterly cleanings because I have periodontitis) with my dentist in Boston I was told that I was cavity free. They told me I was looking to spend a little over $ 1600 out of pocket since I have no dental insurance right now. After that I felt a little pushed by the staff to book my next appointment right away instead of respectfully being given a little time to think it over and consider my options. I will definitely seek out a second opinion after this.

Not «O Smile Dentistry», it’s «O Ripped Off Dentistry»… Nothing special, just too expensive, front desk Korean lady is so rude and disrespectful. Very very disappointed here. Do not come here if you are first visit patient.

Best dentistry I ever been. The doctor is very nice and he always trying not to make his pcient get hurts.

Dr. Lee is really skilled and compassionate. I’m glad that I trusted him to do a surgery in which my implant had to be removed due to a poorly done surgery years ago by a different dentist. Dr. Lee assessed the situation honestly and clearly explained what needed to be done. Relieved to have found him!

Background: I have had three orthodontists (braces three different times), six dentists, and jaw surgery. I have probably seen way more dentists than an entire small town might have in their Yellow Pages. My family was cursed with bad dental genes, so three generations suffer daily on a dental level and I believe no dentist can ever permanently undo God’s handiwork.
Unilocal does lie, but in this case Unilocal reviews were reliable. I was anxious and did not expect to like both the dentist and the front desk associate. Dr. Lee is very knowledgeable but does not take advantage of his patients. He thoroughly explains the problem then clarifies the solutions. He gave me a temporary filling, which means he «goes by the book». The dentist can see if the entire cavity has been completely removed or if there is further decay during the temporary filling. The dentist can go back and analyze the tooth to move forward with a permanent filling or opt for another procedure. This proved that he did not want to tamper with a permanent filling or a root canal, without assessing the entire situation and that he is a person of integrity. He is really kind, gentle, offers more novocaine AND follows through with that offer, unlike two of my former dentists.
I scheduled a scaling a few days later as well. The specialist, Kelly Lieu, is the gentlest, most understanding, patient dental hygienist ever! She allowed me to first point out my sensitive teeth and the temporary filling I had prior. She applied extra desensitizing substance to the areas where my gums were receding and was not offended by my tenseness or scrunched up facial expressions or when my lip was unconsciously trying to nudge the cleaning tool out of my mouth. She was extremely thorough and very sweet. Kelly truly loves what she does and made me want to schedule a quarterly scaling.
Fortunately, I have insurance and the front desk associate explained what was covered and that she would take care of trying to get some stuff approved for me too. By far, this is the most spectacular dentist and hygienist and front desk associate in all of my life’s experiences.

Dr. Lee is a wonderful individual and a great dentist. He really cares about his patients. Highly recommended!

I know this may sound a little bizarre, but I enjoy visiting my Dentist. Dr. Lee and his team of professionals make my visitations painless and I always leave feeling like I’ve been well taken care of. His receptionist is the sweetest… Honestly, you won’t find a better Dentistry in Los Angeles.

A friend recommended Dr. Lee after I told him that I haven’t seen a dentist for an embarrassingly long time. I partially put it off because I knew I would have to do a lot of procedures. I ended up getting a cleaning, filled several cavities, and pulled wisdom teeth from all four areas. All the procedures were painless.
Dr. Lee is extremely knowledgeable and he readily answered any questions I had. If you’ve been putting off seeing a dentist, I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with his office now and save yourself from more costly problems down the line. His office is clean, his staff courteous, and he is up to date with technology — utilizing software to show x-​rays and pictures of teeth from numerous angles.
Thanks, Dr. Lee!

I took treatment from this place for 5years.
Every times when I go there, all staffs are very kind.
Also doctor lee has great skills.
If you have some problem with your teeth, you could try this place. They have great service and skills.

«I love my dentist» isn’t often a phrase you hear from people. We’ll Unilocalers this one is. The staff here is very welcoming, and the doctor himself is fantastic. I would recommend this place to all my friends.

The best dentistry im my life…
I could not find in OC for my family… I spent time to go there… it’s worthy… I recommend this place!!!

I am glad that I have Dr. Lee as my dentist. He is one in a million. It can be overwhelming to find an excellent dentist in LA because of the sheer number of dentists. If you are looking to find a great dentist in Los Angeles or koreatown area, don’t look further. You won’t regret that you visited Dr. Lee. He treats every patient like his family and explains everything clearly. I used to hate going to the dentist but now I actually enjoy going to Dr. Lee for a cleaning and check up. He does everything from your regular dental care to complicated procedures such as implants, root canals and braces. He is great with kids and I believe that he has a pediatric specialist degree from Korea along with his PhD. His professional staff members also put you at ease by making you feel comfortable in the chair. Overall, Dr. Lee’s office is everything I was looking for in a dental office and I highly recommend his office!

I think I an a weird person, but I change dentist every year or so. I think I change so much because I am never satisfied with the dentists. The dentist either lacks attention to detail, performs a half-​ass exam, or charges way too much for what they do.
I recently stumbled across this place from Unilocal.I made an appt for a teeth cleaning.
Pros:
1) Dr. Lee performs EVERYTHING here: He doesn’t let a hygienist perform the cleaning. I asked why, and he said that his patients don’t like it. Yup, I agree. The cleaning was painless.
2) Thorough Exam: He will have his staff take pictures of before and after. Then he will show you what he found on the screen in front of you and walk you through any questions you might have.
3) Explains Things: He will answer any question you might have and he even gives tips on your dental hygiene.
Negatives:
Nothing really. If you are looking for the latest state of the art equipment, this is not the place. The office is clean and the equipment is a few years old. If you want high end beautiful equipment and high prices, please look west toward beverly hills.
If you want a good dentist who actually cares and takes the time to explain things to you so you can keep your teeth healthy for years to come, stop searching and make your call.
ps. I think he even was a faculty at USC at one point. It is the top dental school in California. That is a definite plus!

I was in desperate search for a dentist as I havent been to a dental office in a while, and I needed to see one before the end of this year. I was skeptical of large dental offices with so many reviews because of the usual long wait for appointments. I wanted to go somewhere a bit smaller and welcoming with quick appointments. So I went with O Smile Dentistry instead which had few but excellent reviews. So glad I did!
I went in for my first appointment for checkup and cleaning last month and a second one for other dental works about a week after the first appt. Despite my fear of dentists, both appointments turned out great. Making appointment is a breeze, and Dr. Lee is so experienced and kind. He explained everything he did and gave a thorough analysis of my dental health. They also have a computerized system for xrays and photos. The entire office staff is friendly and welcoming!
Thank you, Unilocalers, for your reviews! Can’t express enough how relieved and happy I am to have finally found a dentist who I can come to for years to come!

Dr. Lee has been my dentist for over ten years now, and I leave each time satisfied. Dr. Lee and his staff answer all questions that I have about my teeth effortlessly, and make sure I know what’s happening to my teeth every step of the way. The dental assistants even massage your hand while the numbing shot is injected to ease the pain!
I’ve pulled all four wisdom teeth here with no trouble afterwards, and have had over 15 cavities treated, and highly recommend Dr. Lee.

First is first, parking is super easy and its in a safe garage so no worries.
Its on the 2^nd floor and from the entrance its to the right, #207.
I was referred by another dentist and assured me Dr. Beom Mo Lee would be awesome and sure enough, Dr. Lee plus staff is fantastic :)
It’s a quaint reception, clean and lots of magazines to read and cold/​hot water. The front desk receptionist took my information well and quickly put my info in the computer. Soon after, politely called me in.
Dr. Lee was super nice! Hes always smiling and never puts me in an awkward position neither did his staff. English is not a problem and even right now, a european guy came in and seems like hes a regular here, he was communicating and laughing with the staff. Obviously this place is chill and work gets done correctly and efficiently! Dr. Lee is positiveLEE my go-​to doc. Yeah, hes also got a Ph.D. No biggie.
And also on a side note. I mentioned to him about some back problems and he referred me to another doctor, across the office Immanuel Back Center? and the doctor over there also was very informative and very helpful!
Two birds with one stone! This is the kind of stuff you can expect from a great dentist like Dr. Beom Mo Lee!!! Thank you Dr. Lee and wonder staff!

I often come here for general dental work but I’ve had my wisdom teeth pulled from here as well. I’ve never had any issue with their service, and Dr. Lee has been pleasant to his customers since I can remember.
Parking is free (lot downstairs) and I was always able to make an appointment the same day during the weekend. Personally this is a huge plus since I don’t plan and make an appointment 2 – 4 weeks prior, just in case something else comes up.
I’m not sure why there isn’t any review on O. Smile Dentistry, but I definitely recommend this place to anyone!
