Awesome place to but your trust into. Very experienced dr. So glade I went to them!!!!

Melody D.

I was one of Dr. Lee's earliest patients when he started his practice in Lenoir City. He had to tackle a complex issue with a 25 yr/old dental implant that required an onsite dental instraments expert plus a few times in the chair to resolve. I knew then that I found my "forever dentist." Besides working to solve complex issues, Dr. Lee and staff are not only timely & efficient but downright fun to be around.

Since having an injury to my front teeth at approximately 12 years of age, I've undergone so many restorations over my lifetime that I've lost count. Finally, Dr. Lee and his great staff have provided me with the best fitting and by far the best looking bridge I've ever had. I can't thank them enough for the wonderful job they've done for me. I couldn't recommend this dental office more highly.

Dr. Lee & the Staff at Lenoir City Dental are the consummate professionals. Dr. Lee is wonderful in that he takes the time to explain and show everything he is doing. I only wish more dentists were like him. The staff are always friendly and work diligently to ensure everything runs smoothly. Thank you all for making dental visits almost enjoyable! Jim C.

Peggy W.

Dr. Christopher Lee and his staff were welcoming, professional and instilled confidence through explanations and thoroughness. Although Dr. Lee appeared to have a full schedule, based on exam rooms and a waiting room occupied by patients, he worked me into his schedule for a procedure to address a condition (after review of findings on a dental cleaning/X-rays/initial visit) which he felt was serious. The outcome of the procedure confirmed that the condition required prompt attention. I commend him to you without equivocation.

Edwina J.

Always dreaded dental visits Dr. Lee and his staff took excellent care of me. Very caring and concerned with my comfort and the end result of my procedure. I’d give them more stars if I could.

Jennifer Y.

Dr. Lee was extremely patient and focused on keeping me comfortable. I have a small mouth and fillings in the back of my mouth can be a challenge but he worked with me and we got my teeth taken care of. Would definitely recommend.

Chris P.

Why You Might Need a Root Canal

A root canal becomes necessary when the pulp inside your tooth becomes infected or inflamed, often due to deep decay, a cracked tooth, or repeated dental procedures. If left untreated, this infection can cause severe pain, swelling, and even lead to tooth loss. Root canal therapy removes the infected tissue, cleans the tooth, and seals it to prevent further damage, allowing you to keep your natural tooth.

Personalized Treatment Plans

Every patient’s oral health is unique. That’s why we tailor each treatment or procedure to meet your individual needs. Dr. Lee creates a custom care plan designed to preserve your tooth and maintain your overall oral health.

Gentle Care and Advanced Technology

At Lenoir City Dental, we use the latest dental technology to make root canal treatments more comfortable and effective. Our advanced techniques and tools ensure a precise and minimally invasive experience, helping you feel at ease during the procedure.

The Benefits of Root Canals

Save Your Natural Tooth
Root canals allow us to preserve your natural tooth, preventing the need for extraction or dental implants.
Relieve Pain
The procedure alleviates the severe tooth pain caused by infection and helps you return to your normal routine.‍
Restore Functionality
After treatment, your tooth will function just like any other, allowing you to eat and speak with ease.

Your Root Canal Journey at Lenoir City Dental

Step 1: Comprehensive Examination

We begin with a thorough evaluation, including digital X-rays, to assess the extent of the infection and determine the best course of treatment. This allows us to provide a personalized, targeted approach.

Step 2: Pain-Free Treatment

Our team ensures your comfort throughout the procedure. We use local anesthesia and offer sedation options to keep you relaxed, ensuring that your root canal is as pain-free as possible.

Step 3: Removing Infection

During the procedure, Dr. Lee will carefully remove the infected pulp from inside your tooth, clean the area, and seal it to prevent further damage. This helps restore the tooth’s health and function.

Step 4: Post-Treatment Restoration

After the root canal, we may recommend placing a dental crown to protect the tooth and restore its strength. Our crowns are custom-made to match your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless, durable result.
