Dr Stella Lee
Dr Stella Lee obtained her Bachelor of Dental Science with Honours from the University of Melbourne in 2012. She subsequently worked as a general dentist for nine years across both private and public clinics in Victoria, gaining broad experience in comprehensive patient care. She completed a Graduate Diploma in Clinical Dentistry (Implants) and subsequently undertook dental specialist training in Periodontics through the Doctor of Clinical Dentistry program at the University of Melbourne, where she was awarded the Straumann Group Award for highest academic achievement.
Dr Lee has a strong commitment to research and education. Her research interests developed early in her training, during which she received the GC Prize and the Australian Dental Research Foundation (ADRF) Undergraduate Research Grant. Her early work on lysine acetylation and deacetylation in the periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis was presented at the IADR General Session in Brazil in 2012. More recently, her research has focused on the surgical and restorative aspects of guided implant surgery, as well as the use of salivary biomarkers to distinguish periodontal health from disease and to monitor treatment response. These findings were presented at the IADR General Session in Barcelona in 2025.
She is actively involved in dental education, with extensive experience as a clinical demonstrator, lecturer and examiner of undergraduate dental students. She currently teaches within the Doctor of Dental Surgery program at the University of Melbourne and holds a position as Senior Professional Practice Fellow at the University of Otago Faculty of Dentistry. Dr Lee is also passionate about mentorship, supporting dental students and clinicians at various stages of their professional journey in developing clinical competence, advancing their skills and strengthening evidence-based practice.
Dr Lee is a registered specialist periodontist with both the Dental Council of New Zealand and the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). She is a member of the Australian and New Zealand Academy of Periodontists (ANZAP), the New Zealand Society of Periodontology (NZSP), the New Zealand Dental Association (NZDA), the Auckland Dental Association (ADA), the International Team for Implantology (ITI), and the New Zealand Society for Sedation in Dentistry (NZSSD). She also serves as a board member of the Ora Study Club.
