About Heeje Lee, DDS

Dr. Heeje Lee hails from Seoul, South Korea, where he received his DDS degree in 1997 from Yonsei University College of Dentistry. He also studied endodontics, a dental specialty that focuses on the tooth pulp and root canals, for three years at the Samsung Medical Center. He furthered his dental experience and commitment to compassionate care by volunteering for the South Korean government’s overseas aid program, working at a hospital at Addis Ababa, Ethiopia for an additional three years. To become certified as a prosthodontic specialist, he moved to the United States to study at the Eastman Dental Center in Rochester, New York. His specialty training in prosthodontics, which focuses on replacing missing teeth, lasted three years, and he was bestowed the honor of the NYSDF Deans Award and appointed Assistant Professor at the LSU School of Dentistry upon graduation. Dr. Lee and his family later moved to Coppell, TX, where he opened his current practice in August of 2011. In addition to providing top-notch prosthodontic and general dental care to patients in North Texas, he is still very much involved in academic pursuits. He publishes regularly in professional journals and lectures both nationally and internationally. In his free time, Dr. Lee enjoys golfing and spending time with his wife and his two children.
