“I get major anxiety going to the dentist, but Dr. Lee has been the only doctor who has made my experience with any dental work almost…pleasant? Even though I’m deep in Queens, it’s worth the 50 minute subway ride to midtown. The office is clean and bright, and the staff is so kind and competent (I had no issues with insurance, and any co-pays for future procedures were clearly outlined to me prior to the actual appointment). 10/10 would recommend.”

“Lemon Dental was incredible. They called me to confirm my appointment when I booked and texted over a link to any forms I needed to complete before the appointment. I showed up about 10 minutes early and they took me back right away. The office was incredibly clean, and the entire staff was lovely. The cleaning was probably the best cleaning I've ever received from a dentist. They clearly walked me through my insurance coverage, and I was in and out in about 45 minutes. I also love that they're open late so I can go after work.”

I had my first visit with Dr. Lee today for a routine cleaning, and it was such a great experience! The front desk staff were incredibly friendly, warm, and helpful from the moment I arrived. Dr. Lee made me feel completely comfortable the entire time, explained everything clearly, and the cleaning didn’t hurt at all. I’m so relieved to have found a dentist I feel good about, and I’ll definitely be coming back in May! Highly recommend.
Verified patient
Excellent dental visit. I was looking for a dentist in my new neighborhood. I had an excellent dentist in my old neighborhood. This is a very new practice. The staff was nice, the visit was what one would expect. I was seen on time. It was a routine exam and cleaning, so really nothing to report beyond the fact that I am booked six months from now.
Verified patient
So friendly and detail-oriented, asked lots of questions to make sure I was getting everything I was looking for out of the appointment. Talked me through my x-rays . Very comfortable cleaning. Immaculate office and friendly Dentist and Receptionist. Great experience all around.
The studio was incredibly clean. Staff was beyond welcoming and accommodating and my appointment went super smoothly. The doctor explained next steps very clearly and made me feel comfortable the entire time.

Dr. Lee was super friendly and made me feel really comfortable during my first visit. I also got Botox for my jaw and it was quick, gentle, and even done while I was sitting in a massage chair—such a nice touch! Highly recommend!
It’s not easy finding a dentist in NYC you can actually trust, so I feel really lucky to have found Dr. Lee. He’s detail-oriented, exceptionally hygienic, and always clear about what to expect. No surprise fees or insurance drama. If you’re looking for a reliable dental office, I can’t recommend them enough.
I’m honestly blown away by my experience at Lemon Dental Studio! I went in for a teeth-whitening session a few days ago, and the whole team treated me like a friend, not just another patient. Dr. Lee walked me through every step—no jargon, just real talk—so I felt totally at ease. The moment the light went on, I knew I was in good hands: the office vibe is relaxed but ultra-professional, and I never once felt discomfort. Fast-forward an hour, and my smile is at least two shades brighter—friends keep asking what toothpaste I’m using, but it’s all thanks to Lemon Dental! They even sent me home with easy-to-follow care tips and checked in the next day to see how I was feeling. If you want a dentist who listens, delivers amazing results, and makes the whole process fun, this is your spot. Seriously—worth every penny!
