Meet Dr. Vivian Lee

I love creating beautiful smiles, healthy bite and airways, and facial harmony that improve self-confidence and quality of life for our patients of all ages from all over the country! With dual MS degrees in Cell & Neurobiology and Craniofacial Biology, and certificate in Advanced Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopedics, I help guide the development of jaw structures and eruption of teeth in addition to straightening teeth and fixing bites.

I carefully design each smile through a thorough clinical evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment planning process incorporating facial, dental, airway, and growth potential considerations. I love how I get to apply science and my artistic sense daily while meeting and helping cool patients!

I am honored to have the trust of our referring dental professionals and thousands of families over the years, making this world a happier place one smile at a time.

I was born in Taiwan and came to the US when I was 14 to pursue higher education while my parents made the sacrifice to stay behind and support me financially. My husband has been practicing gastroenterology over the last 20+ years in Arcadia, where he grew up. We are blessed to have two daughters and a son. I enjoy art, playing piano, traveling, and spending time with family and friends.
