At Dr. SmiLee Dental & MedSpa of Killeen, Dr. Jong Hyung Lee offers targeted Trigger Point Therapy to relieve severe facial muscle tightness, chronic tension headaches, and debilitating TMJ pain. Conveniently located at 1001 S Fort Hood St, Ste 1001 B, our practice delivers an integrated approach to whole-body wellness, uniting preventative Family Dentistry, urgent Emergency Dentistry, Dental Implants Dentistry, and therapeutic MedSpa services under one roof. Trigger points are hyper-irritable knots in fascia and facial muscles—such as the masseter, temporalis, and neck muscles—that cause referred pain, limited jaw mobility, and teeth grinding. Dr. Lee performs precise trigger point injections using local anesthetics or therapeutic agents to deactivate muscle knots, release chronic tension, and restore natural muscle movement.

Serving military service members and families throughout Killeen, Harker Heights, Copperas Cove, Fort Cavazos, Belton, and Temple, our clinical team addresses the root neuromuscular causes of facial strain. Unresolved muscle spasms can cause cracked teeth or loose restorations requiring Emergency Dentistry care, severe enamel wear addressed by Family Dentistry treatments, or jaw strain affecting Dental Implants Dentistry stability. Combining Trigger Point Therapy with our broader MedSpa solutions—such as therapeutic Botox or relaxation therapies—provides total facial and neuromuscular relief.
