What is Oral-Systemic Dentistry?

Under the expert guidance of Dr. Ashley Lee, you’ll be working with a highly-trained dentist who has been an integral part of and influencer in the growing field of oral-systemic dentistry. This is a part of the industry that solely focuses on the deep connection between your oral health and overall wellbeing.

All of Dr. Lee’s dental services focus on supporting the overall oral-systemic connection – even her cosmetic services are designed for strength, balance, and confidence – but some of the things we offer our patients are especially helpful when it comes to making sure you stay as vibrantly healthy as possible. These include:

• A gentle touch and sedation options to overcome dental phobias for better health and lowered anxiety
• Strengthening and repairing options that build both your health and your smile
• Confidence-building treatments for improved self-esteem

It’s easy to see why, as your Madison dentist, we care about more than just your teeth.
