ABOUT ME
Born and raised in West Texas, Dr. Zant grew up with broad interests in music, science, and sports. As an adolescent, he could often be found tinkering on small engines in his garage, rebuilding motorcycles and trying to understand the mechanics of how things work.
As he entered college, his mechanical interests transitioned into human sciences as he began preparing himself for a life in medicine. After graduating summa cum laude with a degree in pre-professional biology, Dr. Zant chose to pursue dentistry because he states, “it’s like being a physician with a toolbelt.” He was accepted into Baylor College of Dentistry, where he received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. Since completing his DDS, Dr. Zant continues to be an avid learner and spends much of his time in continuing education courses, keeping up with the most modern dental technology. Dr. Zant is proficient in digital dentistry, implant dentistry, and cosmetics.
Dr. Zant loves providing same-day dentistry where he can digitally scan, design, and mill anything from crowns and fillings to veneers. He enjoys watching patient’s self-esteem develop as they get a beautiful new smile and improve their quality of life.
Outside of the office, Dr. Zant is an avid waterman and can usually be found at his favorite North Shore beaches.

She feels Dentistry combines creative artistry with the fundamentals of science. Dr. Lee says, “I enjoy working with my hands and thought it was very interesting and unique.

After graduating from University of Hawaii at Manoa, Dr. Lee received her Dental Degree from the NYU School of Dentistry. To keep abreast of cutting edge technology, she’s a member of the American Dental Association and the Hawaii Dental Association.

When asked what attracted Dr. Lee to dentistry, she responded “I grew up watching my dad donate his services as a dental technician to patients with disability. I saw how his work can directly impact one’s quality of life and happiness. I wanted to follow his steps and support the community with my career. That’s how I was drawn to dentistry.”
After graduating from Rutgers University with a Major in Chemistry, Dr. Lee attended dental school at New York University and received her Certification in Orthodontics with a Master of Dental Science from the University of Pittsburgh.
Dr. Lee says “One day, my patient hugged me and said, “Dr. Lee thank you. I can smile in front of my family and friends now.” Changing one’s smile can drastically improve both oral function and confidence. The joy I see in my patients energizes me to work harder and better everyday. It’s truly a gratifying career”.
In her free time, she likes to play the piano and sing. She finds herself often passing the time reading self-help books. She also enjoys snowboarding and playing tennis.
