Modern dental care is evolving, and laser dentistry has become a valuable tool for improving treatment accuracy, comfort, and healing time. At our Greenwich, CT practice, Dr. Masis Yeterian Jr. and Dr. Angela N. Marwaha incorporate soft tissue laser technology to offer a range of procedures with reduced discomfort and faster recovery. This advanced approach allows us to treat many conditions more precisely and conservatively than traditional methods.
What Is Laser Dentistry?
Laser dentistry uses focused light energy to perform dental procedures on the gums and other soft tissues in the mouth. Dental lasers can reshape tissue, remove bacteria, and stimulate healing — all without the need for scalpels or sutures. These minimally invasive tools make many treatments more efficient and less painful.
Soft tissue lasers are especially useful for:
- Treating gum disease (periodontal therapy)
- Performing gingival recontouring
- Managing cold sores or canker sores
- Removing excess tissue or lesions
- Assisting in crown lengthening
- Reducing oral bacteria before restorative work
Benefits of Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry offers many benefits over traditional techniques, including:
- Less discomfort during and after procedures
- Minimal bleeding and swelling due to the laser’s cauterizing effect
- Faster healing with reduced risk of infection
- Greater precision when targeting small or sensitive areas
- No need for stitches in most soft tissue treatments
- Reduced anxiety for patients nervous about dental tools
Because laser treatments are often quicker and gentler, they are a good fit for patients seeking a more comfortable experience.
Common Laser Procedures We Offer
At our Greenwich office, we use dental lasers to assist with several services, such as:
- Gum reshaping to create a more balanced, even smile
- Treatment of gingivitis and early periodontal disease by removing infected tissue and bacteria
- Cold sore and lesion relief to reduce healing time and discomfort
- Frenectomy procedures for children and adults with tongue- or lip-tie concerns
- Preparation of soft tissue for crowns or restorations to improve fit and accuracy
Dr. Yeterian and Dr. Marwaha will recommend laser therapy when it supports better outcomes or improves patient comfort.
What to Expect During Treatment
Laser dental treatments are typically fast, quiet, and well tolerated. You may feel a mild warming sensation during the procedure, but most patients don’t require anesthesia. There’s little to no bleeding, and healing time is often much quicker than with conventional techniques.
After your visit, we’ll provide instructions to help support proper healing, but most patients can return to their normal routines the same day.
