Dr. Kyra Lee is a Bay Area native and attended UC Berkeley, earning her degree in Molecular and Cell Biology. She then went on to receive her Doctorate of Dental Medicine from the University of Southern California (USC) School of Dentistry. Upon graduating, she returned to the Bay Area where she practiced for many years as a general dentist in private practice before realizing that her true passion was in orthodontics! Dr. Lee subsequently entered residency at the University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry where she earned her Certificate in Orthodontics and Master’s of Science Degree in Dentistry.
Entering the orthodontic specialty has been an incredible journey and Dr. Lee feels blessed to be able to help patients achieve a confident, beautiful smile! In her free time, she loves to travel, hike, read, run marathons, garden, paint, and spend time with her family and friends. Moreover, her deep-rooted commitment to giving back to the community from a young age has led to continued efforts in participating in various free clinics, mobile clinics, homeless shelters, and dental mission trips abroad.
