Cancer Survivor Care Process

You can reach us by phone at (617) 833-0158 or through our website. A team member will spend a few minutes with you on the phone to learn the basics: your cancer diagnosis, where you are in treatment or recovery, and your dental concerns.

There is no pressure on this call. Many people contact us simply to ask whether we can help with a specific situation.

Before your first appointment, we ask for things that help us prepare, such as your diagnosis summary, radiation records, medication lists,and recent imaging.

Your first appointment is a consultation, not a treatment session. Plan for 60 to 90 minutes. Dr. Lee will review your history, perform a thorough oral exam, and discuss your options.

If you are coming for a second opinion on treatment another clinician recommended, we will tell you honestly whether we agree, whether we would do something different, and why.

"The goal is for you to leave understanding exactly what is going on in your mouth and what your options are."

We build a written treatment plan that includes recommendations, sequences, timing paced around your recovery, and cost estimates. We coordinate directly with your oncology team.

One Unified Plan

We share preliminary plans with your oncology team before finalizing. The goal is one plan that everyone agrees on, not parallel plans that conflict.

We do not rush. Cancer survivors often need extra healing time or staged surgeries to protect against complications like osteonecrosis. We adjust pacing to your body, not to a calendar.

Cancer-related dental work needs ongoing attention. We build long-term follow-up into every plan, choosing intervals based on yours pecific risk profile. We even coordinate with your local dentist if you are traveling from out of state.
