About US
Starting small, Anderson & Zentz Dental has been able to tailor the practice to best suit the needs of our patients over the past decade. Starting in 2008, he incorporated CEREC® technology, which allows for porcelain crowns to be completed in one visit. In 2009, Dr. Anderson began placing implants. In 2010, due to the tremendous growth of the practice and constraints of the original office location, Dr. Anderson moved the practice to its current location. In 2012, Dr. Lee joined the team part time, and in 2014 Dr. Zentz joined the practice and is now a full-time partner in the practice. Thanks to many hours Dr. Anderson and Dr. Zentz invest each year in continuing education, we are able to offer to our patient’s same day crowns (CEREC®), implants, implant dentures, periodontal surgery, oral surgery, clear braces and more.

Dr. Ryan Zentz
Dr. Zentz was born and raised in Spokane, Washington, and he graduated from Washington State University with a degree in Zoology and an emphasis on Human Anatomy and Physiology. Dr. Zentz then attended the University of Washington School of Dentistry, where he received the Charles L. Bolender Award for academic and clinical excellence in prosthodontics.
Dr. Zentz’ passion for dentistry is very personal because he was born with a cleft lip and palate, which has resulted in him receiving over 12 major surgical procedures including bone grafting, implant dentistry, surgical orthodontics, and extractions. His dream is to provide the same level of confidence and care to each patient as he was fortunate to have received from his own dental experience. Outside of dentistry, Dr. Zentz is recently married and in his spare time enjoys golf, fishing, and most activities that have to do with the outdoors.

Dr. melanie Lee
Dr. Lee was raised in Richland and graduated from the University of Washington. She has been practicing dentistry since 2003, when she graduated from the University of Washington School of Dentistry.

She is strongly committed to excellence in dentistry, compassion in patient care and patient comfort, and practicing evidence-based dentistry. Dr. Lee, her husband Dae, and their two sons are excited to be back in the Tri-Cities, where the people and wonderful sense of community make it home.
