Dr. Richard Lee

Kids outgrow shoes faster than they outgrow their fear of the dentist. That’s where a pediatric dentist steps in—not just to clean teeth, but to make the whole experience feel less like a chore and more like a routine part of growing up. Dr. Richard Lee’s practice in Ladera Ranch handles everything from first check-ups to fluoride treatments, sealants, and even gentle orthodontic evaluations, all tailored to small patients who might not sit still for long. The office sits at 600 Corporate Dr Ste 200 Ladera Ranch, CA 92694, a quiet corner of the neighborhood where parents can park and walk in without the usual downtown hassle.

Pediatric dentistry isn’t just about smaller chairs—it’s about adjusting the pace, the language, and the approach so kids leave without dreading the next visit. Dr. Lee’s team covers the basics like cleanings and cavity fillings, but also offers space maintainers and habit counseling for thumb-sucking or pacifier use. Questions or scheduling can be handled at (949) 429-6400, and for anyone unfamiliar with the area, a quick look at the map will show just how close it is to the Ladera Ranch shopping center. If your kid can handle a haircut without tears, they can probably handle this too.
