Dr. Hannah Lee

Dr. Hannah Lee’s clinical philosophy can be captured in three words: simplicity,

beauty, and longevity. If we were to describe her in a single phrase, she is truly “the

clinician who turns complex and difficult treatments into clear and simple solutions.”

She systematically simplifies even the most challenging cases, strives to derive the

most natural and beautiful outcomes from each patient’s unique condition, and

continues to pursue longevity in her results through constant research. Every dentist

has their own way of approaching clinical care, and Dr. Lee often says:

“It’s not because I am special. It is because thousands of complex cases and

countless demanding patients have shaped who I am as a clinician.”

Most dentists can perform simple procedures such as fillings or periodontal

treatment with ease.

However, full-arch rehabilitation often feels overwhelming—partly because many

clinicians encounter such cases infrequently, making it difficult to fully grasp the

interdependent relationship among teeth, occlusion, facial harmony, and functional

dynamics. Full-mouth rehabilitations and full-arch implant cases require a deep understanding

of the oral environment and a simplified, systematic approach that leads to

predictable outcomes.

Since the early 2000s, Dr. Lee has treated more than 3,000 full-arch immediate-

loading implant patients, developing her own highly streamlined clinical system.

Colleagues often say, “She makes incredibly difficult cases look effortless.”

Treatment becomes simple only when you deeply understand the whole picture. Dr.

Lee was not born with this insight—her knowledge is grounded in accumulated data,

patient feedback, and long-term clinical follow-up spanning over two decades.

In veneer dentistry, terms such as full veneers, partial veneers, and laminate veneers

are widely used. Laminates were originally designed to enhance color and shape

without damaging the tooth. While full and partial veneers rely on mechanical

retention, laminate veneers fundamentally depend on enamel bonding. However, as

dentists began focusing too heavily on ideal esthetics, many cases resulted in

excessive tooth reduction—even when performing “laminate veneers.”

Consequently, laminates gained the reputation of being a cosmetic procedure that

unnecessarily harms teeth.

This reflects a simple truth: achieving beauty with minimal reduction is difficult. Since

2002, Dr. Lee has dedicated herself to preserving enamel while creating truly

beautiful results. By performing her own wax-ups prior to treatment, she predicts

reduction volume with precision, and prepares teeth using indices based on the

diagnostic wax-up. Many of her patients, even after more than 20 years, still maintain

laminate veneers that look almost as if they were placed recently.

The essence of laminate veneer success lies in enamel preservation. When ceramic

is perfectly bonded to enamel, the tooth and veneer become a single unified

structure—leading to remarkable longevity and biological harmony. With even a

small amount of additional effort, any dentist can achieve these outcomes, and Dr.

Lee seeks to share her experience generously.

Today, with advanced digital equipment, same-day veneers are possible. To reduce

lab-related time, Dr. Lee adopted CAD/CAM workflows as early as 2007, fabricating

same-day laminate veneers with high precision directly in her clinic. Nevertheless,

speed and conservation are not enough; the final esthetic result must meet the

patient’s expectations. Dr. Lee teaches how subtle adjustments in shape and contour

can harmonize with facial features and resolve patient concerns.

International Education: Sharing Knowledge and Experience

Dr. Lee offers advanced training to help clinicians apply her principles in both implant

and veneer dentistry.

 In Implant Education: Full-arch immediate-loading treatment planning,

Surgical strategies and techniques, Same-day provisional design, scanning,

and fabrication, Final prosthesis design and selection of prosthetic modality,

Delivery protocols and finishing techniques

 In Laminate Veneer Education: Treatment planning and facially guided

design, Wax-up or digital preview design, Patient communication and

consultation strategies, Tooth preparation based on enamel-preservation

principles, Milling and fabrication, Final bonding and finishing

Her goal is to empower clinicians so they can begin full-arch implant treatment with

confidence, minimize tooth reduction in veneer procedures, and deliver esthetically

superior outcomes.



While a few days of training may not transfer every detail, Dr. Lee builds long-term

networks with attending clinicians to support continuous clinical development.
