Dr. Joshua Lee, DDS
Throughout my life, I've been driven by a commitment to serve—from my time in the military and law enforcement to my career in dentistry and the way I choose to spend my personal time. My goal is simple: to serve every patient with excellence, integrity, and genuine compassion.
Education, Training & Credentials

Oral Surgery & Extractions
Wisdom teeth removal, tooth extractions, coronectomy, traumatic dental injuries, and OMS full-mouth reconstruction.

Dr. Lee's Journey from Officer to Dentist
Dr. Joshua Lee’s commitment to helping others began long before his career in dentistry. Having served as a police officer, he developed a deep respect for public service, discipline, and community care—values that continue to shape the way he practices today. Whether in uniform or in scrubs, Dr. Lee has always been driven by the same purpose: to protect, support, and improve the lives of the people he serves. He sees strong parallels between law enforcement and dentistry—both require trust, precision, calm decision-making under pressure, and a genuine desire to help others in moments of need. This passion for service remains at the core of his work, guiding his dedication to providing compassionate, ethical, and patient-centered care to his community.
Trained to Serve, Committed to Care
Dr. Joshua Lee also proudly served as a military dental officer, where he received unparalleled clinical training and developed a profound sense of responsibility toward those under his care. In the military, dentistry is more than a profession—it is a commitment to the health, readiness, and well-being of fellow service members. That experience shaped his philosophy of treating every patient with the same level of attention, respect, and loyalty as he would a brother or sister in uniform. The intensity of military training, combined with the responsibility of caring for those who serve, helped refine his surgical skills, discipline, and ability to make thoughtful decisions under pressure. Today, he carries that same standard into his practice, approaching each patient with compassion, integrity, and a deep sense of duty to serve.
A Philosophy of Honest Dentistry
Dr. Lee built Joshua Dental around a straight forward belief: patients deserve honest answers, clear explanations, and a treatment plan that reflects what they actually need — not what a billing schedule recommends.
That means no upselling, no unnecessary procedures, and no surprises. At Joshua Dental, you aren't a "case number" — you're a person who deserves to be heard and informed.
