Services
General Dentistry
Comprehensive preventive and restorative dental services including oral exams, digital X-rays, teeth cleanings, and dental fillings. Our team addresses common dental issues like cavities and gum disease while emphasizing preventive care through regular checkups. Patients receive personalized oral hygiene guidance to maintain optimal dental health between visits.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Specialized treatments to improve dental aesthetics including veneers, teeth whitening, bonding, and smile makeovers. We offer customized solutions for stained, chipped, or misaligned teeth using advanced materials that mimic natural tooth structure. Our approach combines artistic skill with technical precision to create natural-looking, long-lasting results.
Invisalign
Modern orthodontic treatment using clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. This technology corrects bite issues, gaps, and misalignment without traditional metal braces. Patients receive custom-fitted aligners with periodic adjustments, allowing for comfortable, nearly invisible teeth straightening suitable for adults and teens.
Dental Implants
Permanent tooth replacement solutions using titanium posts fused with jawbone tissue. Our implant services include single-tooth replacements, multiple implants, and full-arch restoration. The process involves surgical placement followed by crown attachment, providing durable, natural-feeling replacements that maintain facial structure and prevent bone loss.
Emergency Dental Care
Immediate attention for dental trauma, severe pain, or sudden oral health issues. Our emergency services address broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, abscesses, and extreme sensitivity. We prioritize same-day appointments for urgent cases, utilizing diagnostic imaging and pain management techniques to provide prompt relief and prevent complications.

Dr. Lee and his staff are AMAZING! I moved my entire family from other dentists to Covington Smiles because they have the BEST attitudes, BEST service and EXTREMELY competitive and fair pricing! I won't recommend any other dentist because the people at Covington Smiles have completely won me over and I know they will win you over too!

Daniel Lee is a good dentist, however, I was charged for X-rays that I didn't need. They didn't ask. They just did it knowing that I had retired and had Medicare that did not cover the visit. I called to talk to billing, they reduced a bit and deducted $72.00. I was rebilled the $72.00. I called and explained to someone and they said they would give billing a message to call me, but they didn't call back.
I called three times to get this resolved. My brother died suddenly and I am taking care of his matters, so I have no time to deal with them. I'll pay them the damn $72.00. ( The day I was in for my cleaning I was told of Bob Vasquez death. I wasn't quite thinking clearly to stop the gal from doing the X-ray. Bob ALWAYS asked me before he did them.)

Horrible dentist. Dr Lee is a liar and a thief. His work falls apart in less than a year. Save your time, go elsewhere. In speaking with several employees the following most recent reviews are paid reviews.

I am one of those people that is afraid of the dentist. I've had bad experiences before and going to a new dentist is nerve-wracking to say the least. When I first went to see Dr Lee, I had mentioned my fear. That was 3 or 4 years ago and in all that time I've not been hurt once at Covington Smiles. Everyone I've dealt with there has made sure I'm very numb for procedures requiring being numb and they are gentle when working on my teeth. I won't go anywhere else.

I was referred to Dr. Lee by family when we moved to Seattle and I am glad! Dr. Lee and his staff are always friendly, consistent with following up as I have to visit more frequently for my dental treatments, and I am always impressed with his professionalism every visit. I live 45. min from the office but I consider it worth the drive for the service I know I will receive each time. The office is spacious and modern and certainly inviting for anyone who wants to have a pleasant dental experience! I highly recommend Dr. Lee and his staff!

I've always dreaded going to the dentist, until my sister in law told me about Covington Smiles. Dr Lee and his staff are not only knowledgeable, but also very kind, caring, and most of all understanding. I can't recommend this place enough.
