Root Canals Are What He Does. But People Are Why He Does It.
At Endodontics of Denver, you’re not just another appointment on the books. You’re a person with a story, a problem that needs solving, and a life to get back to—and that’s exactly how Dr. Lee treats every patient who walks through the door.
In memory of Henry Lee. Best Office Dog Ever.
Meet Dr. Darin Lee
Dr. Darin Lee is the owner and lead endodontist at Endodontics of Denver, where his focus is simple: do the right thing for the patient, every single time. With nearly two decades of experience and thousands of successful root canals behind him, Dr. Lee brings unmatched precision, compassion, and expertise to every case.
Dr. Lee earned his dental degree from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry in 2000. After graduating, he served in the U.S. Navy for four years, completing an advanced education in general dentistry. In 2006, he completed his Endodontic Residency at the University of Southern California, where he was selected to serve as the head resident and lead instructor for the undergraduate endodontic program.
He began his career in a large group practice then soon realized his values around patient care didn’t align with the conventional model. In 2009, Dr. Lee opened Beaver Creek Endodontics in the Colorado Rockies, where he became known for his commitment to clinical excellence and always putting the patient first—even when it means taking extra time or absorbing additional costs.
Dr. Lee is known for his ethical approach and commitment to outcomes. He uses state-of-the-art technology like surgical microscopes and CBCT imaging, and often completes root canals in two visits when necessary—especially with complex infections—because it's what delivers the best healing and the best long-term results.
Now at Endodontics of Denver, he brings that same high standard of care to the downtown community. His approach is conservative, evidence-based, and rooted in one core belief: if you treat people like family and do your best every day, everything else takes care of itself.
When Dr. Lee is not treating patients, he is probably skiing powder in Beaver Creek, hiking mountainous peaks, catching a concert at Red Rocks, or playing his baby grand piano. He loves spending time with his wife Claire, their french bull dog, Wesley, and close friends, soaking up all that Colorado has to offer. He’s proud to call Colorado home—and even prouder to serve the people in it.
