Explore the Benefits of Laser Technology
Laser dentistry gives Dr. Paul Lee a precise way to treat two common concerns: gum disease and uneven or overly prominent gumlines. If you have gum disease, the laser targets and removes infected tissue with pinpoint accuracy. If you're bothered by a gummy smile or uneven gum tissue, the same technology reshapes your gumline for a more balanced look.
Laser dentistry in Houston is part of our minimally invasive treatment approach. Your dentist can make changes in small, precise increments, addressing only what needs adjusting.
More Comfortable Treatment
Lasers reduce the need for cutting and stitching that often comes with traditional gum treatment. You'll feel less discomfort during your procedure.
Faster Healing Time
Because lasers are so precise, they disturb less of the surrounding healthy tissue. Your gums recover more quickly, so you're back to eating and talking normally sooner.
Reduced Bleeding
Lasers seal blood vessels as they work, which means less bleeding during your procedure. You'll notice a cleaner, more controlled treatment area throughout.
Lower Infection Risk
The heat from the laser sterilizes the treatment area as your dentist treats your gumline. This lowers your risk of infection compared to traditional surgical methods.

Whether your insurance covers laser dentistry depends on your specific plan and the reason for your treatment.
