Fleetwood Dental
Dr. Michelle Lee, owner of Fleetwood Dental, is proud to serve and provide comprehensive dentistry to the Berks County area for the past 17 years. Dr. Lee is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, and she strives to deliver the best care for her patients through her continuous commitment to continuing education.
The practice’s mission is to deliver exceptional care in total dental health and wellness by having a relationship-based, patient-centered practice. Dr. Lee specializes in treating conditions of the Jaw Joint (TMJ disorders), stabilizing bites (occlusion) and creating beautiful smiles. She lectures nationally and teaches on the topic, “Let’s start from the joint and finish with a big smile.” This passion led her to further her training in the utilization of Botox to treat Temporomandibular Joint disorders, TMD-related headaches, bruxism (clenching and grinding) and natural facial esthetics.
Dr. Lee and her team at Fleetwood Dental provide a full scope of Botox and Dermal Fillers for facial esthetics and wellness. Dr. Lee’s extensive knowledge in muscles and facial anatomy has allowed her to approach Botox and Dermal Fillers with precision and detail. Patients have felt that they have the best of “both worlds,” as they would say, because Dr. Lee is able to deliver cosmetic dentistry and also create beautiful lip esthetics that frame the smile. Fleetwood Dental offers a total package of a smile design with porcelain veneers, bonding, crowns, bleaching, Botox and dermal fillers. Botox offers several advantages when it comes to facial esthetics, helping to reduce wrinkles, such as forehead lines, crow’s feet and frown lines. Her attention to anatomy and the muscles have helped patients with gummy dental smiles and dermal fillers to look more natural and subtle. Dr. Lee’s goal is to enhance natural beauty and meet the goals of her patients.
