Finding a great dentist is harder than it should be. When I needed a new dentist who took my insurance—one I trusted enough for both routine cleanings and a crown—I searched my town and the surrounding area and was disheartened by what I found. Hardly anyone had good reviews. (I think it's because people write reviews when they're unhappy and stay quiet when they're not.) I want to be the exception, because Dr. Seung Lee at Novato Smiles Dentistry deserves to be found. I came in a little nervous, as most people are with a new dentist. Dr. Lee immediately put me at ease. He's a great listener, gentle, and takes the time to explain your options without making you feel rushed. He was on time, efficient, and treated me like a person. Getting a crown is not something I was willing to do with just anyone, and after this visit, I knew I'd found the right dentist. When I mentioned my Invisalign retainer, he made sure it would work with both the temporary and permanent crown—no extra charge, no big deal made of it. That kind of quiet thoughtfulness says a lot about someone. If you're searching for a dentist in the area and feeling discouraged, I hope this helps. Dr. Lee is everything you'd want: knowledgeable, kind, patient, and genuinely invested in your care.

Novato Smiles offers excellent service. Their staff is always welcoming and patient. The payment plan is helpful!

Victoria is great. Dr. Lee is an exceptional dentist. Frankly all the people who work there are very friendly, accommodating, and professional. The technology they use is "state of the art".
