About Cote Periodontics, Lee M. Cote, Jr., D.M.D., PLLC
Cote Periodontics, Lee M. Cote, Jr., D.M.D., PLLC operates on West Highland Street in Altamonte Springs, Florida. Implants are considered by many dentists the most durable way to replace a missing tooth, since the titanium post fuses with the jaw bone over several months and then supports a crown that functions much like a natural tooth. Enough healthy bone is the main prerequisite, and a graft can build that up first if needed.
Gum disease treatment ranges from a deeper professional cleaning for early inflammation through to more involved periodontal care once bone around the teeth has started to be affected. Bleeding gums are usually the earliest sign, and the early stage is reversible with proper cleaning and better daily plaque control.
Periodontal surgery treats gum disease that has not resolved with non-surgical cleaning — addressing deep pockets, bone loss, or recession around the teeth. It is carried out under local anaesthetic, with recovery typically settling within one to two weeks.
Gum grafting covers exposed tooth roots caused by gum recession, using tissue from elsewhere in the mouth or a donor material to protect the root and reduce sensitivity. Initial healing takes a couple of weeks, with full results visible over the following months.
Periodontal care focuses on the health of the gums and the bone that supports the teeth, from preventive gum health checks through to deeper treatment once disease has taken hold. Left untreated, gum disease is a leading cause of adult tooth loss, which is why it is monitored at every checkup.
Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway. Use this page to find contact information for Cote Periodontics, Lee M. Cote, Jr., D.M.D., PLLC and to see its full range of services before getting in touch.

I’ve had a great experience at Dr. Côte’s office. The front desk staff are always very friendly, professional, and welcoming, which makes check-in and scheduling easy and stress-free. The hygienists are both excellent at what they do thorough, gentle, and clearly very skilled so my cleanings are comfortable and my teeth feel fantastic afterward. I really appreciate the caring atmosphere and the high level of expertise throughout the entire team, and I would happily recommend this office to family and friends.
Spacious and comfortable waiting room, welcoming staff and Dr. Cote is very knowledgeable and patient. He discussed my diagnosis in detail and after a gentle examination, provided and explained his suggested plan. No pressure! I had time to ask questions and was not forced to make a decision that moment. Check in and check out was a breeze and there were no unexpected costs.
Always a good experience. After all these years it seems almost like family. I thoroughly enjoy visiting with everybody.
Dr. Lee M. Cote Jr. recommended and performed the periodontic surgery for me. Every step of planning and actual procedure went well. Dr. Cote and his staff provided the valuable guidance during the preparation, surgery, and post-surgery recovery times. Dr. Cote and his staff provide the professional, attentive, and considering service. I recommend Dr. Lee M. Cote Jr. practice as one of the best Periodontics practices in Orlando area.
I had a great experience with Dr Cote and his staff. Two implants first visit could not be better that this. Thank you.
Dr. Cote and his entire staff are the absolute BEST. The quality of care is excellent. Dr. Cote's knowledge, patience, skill, and compassion is beyond anything I've ever experienced. Billy and Trina at the front desk have been with the practice since the previous owner, Dr.Coatam started the practice. That about says it all. They are efficient, professional and so very kind. Dr. Cote's assistants could not be any better. They're awesome. As someone who is absolutely terrified of going to the dentist, I cannot recommend this practice enough. It's as close to pain free dentistry as I've ever experienced. Your comfort is #1 from the moment you walk in the door. They make you feel like you're coming to visit old friends
I have nothing but love to share about this practice. From the warm, family-like welcome by Trina at the front desk, the accommodating patience of Jenn who has been the dental assistant, the skill and positive energy of Dr. Cote, to the proficient passion of Elena, it feels like walking into a family of care each time I visit. It’s sort of embarrassing, but I look forward to my appointments at this office. Elena, as part of my overall plan from Dr. Cote, preformed scale and root planing via two appointments (left side, right side). She takes great pride in helping her patients understand not just the procedure and at-home maintenance routines, but how they benefit your overall health. She never uses a condescending tone, rather she hopes to empower. For example, I’ve been brushing my teeth incorrectly my entire life and hadn’t been to a dentist in decades. “You’ve been doing great. Let’s start with why we even brush our teeth to begin with…why do humans have teeth that we can’t naturally maintain, right?” Out came a 3D model of the mouth where we looked at how the gums wrap around the roots of the teeth and she explained how incredible the gums are in keeping us healthy, what frustrates the gums’ ability to protect us, and what I can do to assist my gums. After a while, she explained the scale and root planing procedure thoroughly, as well as what it would be like afterward. Honestly, I never felt a thing and I didn’t even feel like I had to recover (other than the three hours for the numbness to subside). I’ve never felt someone be so gentle with me so that I wasn’t even aware that the numbing had begun (never felt a needle — don’t even understand how that’s possible). It was shocking to me how someone who was this gentle could then be so aggressively proficient in doing all she could to reclaim healthy gums. She is amazing. I enter each time to this practice with a wide smile, and I leave each time with hugs. I never would have believed that if I didn’t experience it. If you love your dental world (dentist, periodontist, endodontist, etc.), that’s fantastic. If you don’t, start here.
I have been seeing Dr. Cote Jr. for years now. That in itself is a 10 star review! He is very thorough in explaining everything you need to know, takes his time to answer any questions you might have, and makes you feel comfortable. Not to be forgot is the front desk staff. They rock they always have! Thanks for being there!
The front desk staff are helpful. The doctor is knowledgable. He really takes his time to explain things and answer your questions. It was so nice to not feel rushed. I loved feeling like a person not a number. The hygienist also provided a lot of great information. Everyone was really friendly and professional. The only negative for me was their hours did not really match my ideal though that is not their fault and I do not think they are unusual hours for a medical/ dental office. Highly recommend this office. I wish I had been referred here years ago.
Dr Cote was great to work with. He’s very professional and caring thru the process. Tells you about every step, that will happen. On a side note, the mouth rinse, should be included in the cost of the procedure. No need for extra charges. Thank you Kyle
