Junkyung Lee, DMD

University Place keeps chipping away at the misconception that suburbia lacks specialists. Above a tidy retail row, Junkyung Lee, DMD occupies half a storefront on Bridgeport Way, quietly upending expectations about what a neighborhood dentist can handle. Cleaning, fillings, extractions, crown work and routine screening all funnel through the same front door, which also handles the odd replacement night guard for bruxism cases. Periodontal maintenance and limited orthodontic alignment services round out the roster, giving local patients fewer reasons to cross into Tacoma just to solve a single molar problem.

The full address pins Junkyung Lee, DMD at 3838 Bridgeport Way W in University Place, WA 98466—close to the library branch and the sound-side strip you already know exists. It’s the kind of spot you pass once and still remember five miles later when a crown loosens on a Sunday afternoon. Across from the gym parking lot and the dry-cleaner sign, the signage is smaller than the neighboring franchise banners, but the wait time hasn’t matched its neighbors. Patients come in expecting the average and often leave with six-month checks already booked.

Reach the office at *253-652-5520* for emergencies that can’t wait until the next inspection. Same-day crowns aren’t standard, but urgent extractions usually clear the schedule faster than paperwork, so phone combatibility helps speed that process up. Emergency referrals to local oral surgeons remain on file, just in case.
