Frequently asked questions
How long does periodontal therapy take?
The treatment time can be frustratingly unclear, especially if you’re unsure about the severity of your gum disease. The time required varies based on the severity of the infection, but most procedures can be completed in just a few visits. Some cases may require follow-up treatments to ensure complete recovery and prevent further damage.
Is periodontal therapy painful?
The thought of pain may be holding you back, but most periodontal treatments are pain-free thanks to local anesthesia. While you may experience some mild discomfort or sensitivity after the procedure, it’s temporary and can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
How do I know if I need periodontal therapy?
Signs of gum disease may involve bleeding gums, bad breath, gum recession, or loose teeth. If you notice these symptoms, it’s best to consult a dentist.
How can I prevent gum disease?
Preventing gum disease might seem overwhelming, especially if you’ve struggled with it before. The good news is that good oral hygiene is key: regular brushing, flossing, and avoiding tobacco are your first lines of defense.

PATIENT TESTIMONIALS
Implant Dentistry Is the Best Choice
Posted on Maryalice ToddTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Albert Lee is the best Dentist I have ever had.He is knowledgeable, skilled and compassionate. He has worked with me for over 30 years and always considers what is best for my needs. You would be lucky to have him as your dentist..He is the best and not only I believe that, but he has been given many awards to back this up!Posted on Amanda H.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Lee and his assistant Debra are by far the best team that I’ve ever worked with. I have high anxiety at the Dentist office and I was able to complete the task for the visit because of their compassion, kindness and encouragement. Dr Lee worked with attention to detail and even went the extra step to fit me into his schedule last minute. I had a broken crown and within a few hours I was in his chair and getting it resolved. 10 out of 10 recommend this amazing Dentist!Posted on Marnie FritzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Lee has been my dentist since 2004, he has ALWAYS gone above and beyond to accommodate me whenever I need.. I highly recommend him and his staffPosted on Abbey SheatsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Lee is an amazing dentist. He has very good bedside manner and will work with you to make sure you get the very best care. I had my first cavity filled and Dr. Lee did a wonderful job of putting me at ease and making the experience completely pain free. I didn’t feel a thing, and it was over before I knew it. I would highly recommend him!Posted on carol parkerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to Dr. Lee for a cleaning and was talked into getting invisalign. $6000+ for top and bottom a few years ago. Invisalign works great, however Dr. Lee did not monitor my progress as he should have. He and his staff are very friendly, always giving compliments. After several weeks of going, I noticed my teeth were shifting in a slant to one side. I asked Dr. Lee about it and he said not to worry. Had he been monitoring as he should have, because I showed up on all scheduled visits, I should not have been required to have the shift reversed to straightened my teeth, which caused me to have to see him for an additional 22 weeks. I felt that once you've paid your money, the attention is no longer there as it should be since you have to pay the full amount upfront. There were a few other issues I had to address with him as well, concerning the straightening of my teeth... the wire retainer broke a couple times and had to be repaired, there's more, but I'll leave it here. I like the office and the practice, my advise is to stay on top of your progress and point out your concerns at all times if you get the invisalign from Dr. Lee. Carol PPosted on Shadow KennedyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Vesely and his team are fantastic. They listen to your concerns and are so helpful in helping you maintain good dental health. I needed a filling done really quickly as I was leaving for a vacation. They squeezed me in and fixed my tooth in about 10 minutes. Dr Vesely is just an amazing.Posted on Steven LavensteinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Lee is a true professional—highly knowledgeable, an excellent communicator, friendly, and someone that goes to great lengths to make his patients happy. You can tell he doesn't just do dentistry for a living, he thrives on solving challenging problems and genuinely lives and breathes this stuff. He's always taking classes to continue his education and going to conferences to stay at the forefront of his field. He's excited to learn and apply new cutting edge technology (e.g., 3D mouth scanning, digital smile design, 3D printing, CAD/CAM, minimally invasive procedures, etc.). Dr. Lee has built relationships with the best labs all over the world to provide a variety of tailored options. Often collaborating with teams in different time zones, he puts in long hours to ensure the best outcomes for his patients. What really sets Dr. Lee apart is his holistic approach. He doesn't just focus on the teeth in isolation, he cares about the patient's overall health and well-being. Dr. Lee is the best communicator I've ever had in healthcare. Unlike others, Dr. Lee is willing to put in the effort up front to win your trust. Give Dr. Lee a chance—you won’t regret it!Posted on Genna GodleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Lee completely SAVED my teeth! I had an implant placed over 10 years ago that was missing a crown, and I was convinced only redoing the whole implant would fix it. Dr. Lee seemed genuinely excited to tackle the challenge, and was able to get an implant crown placed using only Invisalign! The whole process was quick and easy, and now I can honestly say that I LOVE my teeth! You can really tell that Dr. Lee is passionate about what he does, and for complicated issues requiring specialized knowledge, there isn’t a better dentist! I’m usually a nervous dentist-goer but I trust him with no question! My family and I all swear by Dr. Lee and would recommend him to anyone in the area.Posted on Terri Cooper - WPIDBB-CTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I thought I completed my Invisalign treatment with Dr. Lee, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From the moment I walked into the office, I was met with friendly and welcoming staff, creating a comfortable and pleasant atmosphere for every visit. Dr. Lee's patience and willingness to answer all my questions greatly contributed to my overall satisfaction with the treatment. One thing that truly impressed me was the up-to-date technology he used to show me what my teeth would look like after completing the Invisalign treatment. It gave me a clear vision of the outcome and boosted my confidence in the process. During my last visit, as I was on my final tray, Dr. Lee and his assistant asked for my feedback. I mentioned that I thought my teeth looked nice, to which Dr. Lee responded with a big smile and said, "We want your teeth to look great!" His dedication to ensuring the best results made me appreciate the care and attention to detail he put into my treatment plan. Even though there will be a few more weeks added to my treatment plan, I am excited about the prospect of achieving the perfect smile. If you're considering Invisalign and want exceptional results, I highly recommend visiting Dr. Lee. The entire experience, from the friendly staff to the expertise of Dr. Lee, made my visits enjoyable and rewarding. I'm genuinely grateful for the fantastic care I received and the transformation of my smile.Posted on Donna MelottiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. DR. LEE IS AWESOME ! STAFF IS VERY NICE. I HAVE BEEN GOING THERE FOR 20 YEARS. GREAT DENTAL OFFICE.
