Meet Dr. Dawood And Dr. Manivong In St. Paul

Dr. Mir Dawood, General Dentist

As a general dentist who’s been caring for smiles since 2018, Dr. Mir Dawood dedicates himself to serving his patients with a variety of effective and personalized dental treatments and procedures. Keenly interested in surgical extractions and cosmetic facial therapy, Dr. Dawood’s calming and fun demeanor puts patients of all ages and comfort levels at ease, and he makes a point of doing everything he can to teach and inform every person in his care about the importance of diligent, lifelong oral hygiene practices.

When he’s not caring for smiles, Dr. Dawood enjoys spending time with his family and his dog, Watson, a Japanese Akita. He loves to golf (but only on the days he hits the ball well) and he tries to play soccer as often as he can. He stays active in the community by coaching youth soccer and playing pickleball with locals, and his claim to fame is that he was the tallest kid in the seventh grade before he stopped growing altogether.

Dr. Alex Manivong, General Dentist

A caring general dentist who’s focused on doing all he can to help his patients protect, strengthen, and maintain optimal oral health for life, Dr. Manivong devotes himself to making each person in his care feel comfortable while treating their unique needs. His healthcare philosophy is “prevention before problems” and he takes every opportunity he can to encourage patients to prioritize their oral health daily with careful oral hygiene habits, nutritious dietary choices, and bi-annual checkups and cleanings.

After graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry from The University of Winnipeg, Dr. Manivong achieved his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from The University of Sydney. Before becoming a dentist, he created various dental appliances, including dentures, crowns and bridges, nightguards, mouthguards, and teeth bleaching trays, after earning a dual diploma in academics and dental technology from the Technical-Vocational High School.

Dr. Zion Lee, General Dentist

Dr. Lee continuously educates himself on the latest techniques and technology to improve dental care. At the office, he offers Botox treatment for bruxism and IV sedation. He cares deeply about his patients and team and makes every effort to see them smile. When asked about his vision, Dr. Lee mentions, "his goal is to empower patients to become healthier and happier by offering various treatment options, excellent service, and creating a relaxed and comfortable environment."

Dr. Zion Lee graduated with distinction from the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry at Western University in London, Ontario. His desire for building meaningful relationships and community outreach inspired him to combine his interests in the arts and sciences, pursuing a calling in dentistry. Before dental school, he completed a B.Sc in Biochemistry with distinction from McMaster University. His passion for giving back to the community has led him to set up a mobile dental clinic in Honduras, teach English overseas, and help build an orphanage in Cambodia.

Dr. Lee understands how to create the perfect ambiance, having performed as a wedding pianist and choir accompanist. He loves working with children and their families, drawing upon previous experiences as a camp counselor and swimming instructor for children living with cancer. When not caring for patients, he enjoys exploring the local food scene and spending time with his wife, Jane, and their Goldendoodle puppy, Mocha.
