What if there was a gentler, quieter way to get dental work done – without the high-pitched whine of a drill or the pressure of traditional tools? This is where laser dentistry comes in.
Implant & General Dentistry of Long Island is a trusted provider of this modern approach in Melville, NY. With Dr. Dean Glasser, a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry, and Dr. Renee Glasser, a Stony Brook School of Dental Medicine professor, at the helm, patients receive compassionate care with advanced laser technology like the Fotona LightWalker.
How Laser Dentistry Helps Ease Dental Anxiety
Laser dentistry replaces many conventional tools with focused light energy. This offers several benefits for people who feel nervous about dental procedures:
- Quieter treatments – no noisy drills
- Less vibration and pressure – therapies do not feel as invasive
- Reduced need for anesthesia – some procedures are virtually painless
- Shorter healing times – laser precision minimizes tissue damage
- Lower risk of bleeding – lasers can cauterize tissue as they work
- Minimized swelling and inflammation – less trauma to surrounding areas
- Greater accuracy – reduces the chance of triggering sensitive spots
This technology can be used for fillings, gum reshaping, frenectomies (for tongue ties and gum recession), cold sore management, and more.
Ideal for Those Who Avoid the Dentist
Anxious patients often skip routine cleanings and delay treatment until problems become severe. Because they wait so long, they end up needing more intensive solutions, which further reinforces their fear.
Laser dentistry helps break this cycle by creating a more relaxed experience. Many people don’t need numbing injections, which can be a huge relief. Appointments are often faster as well, shortening the amount of time you have to spend in the chair.
