Dental lasers allow our team to perform procedures with greater precision, less discomfort, and faster healing. We use laser technology for tongue-tie and lip-tie releases, soft tissue procedures, and early cavity detection.
BOOK APPOINTMENT
Your Child's Dentist
With two decades of hands-on pediatric dental experience, Dr. Slepak is trained in the latest laser protocols for children. A Honors graduate of NYU College of Dentistry, he completed advanced training at Maimonides Medical Center's Pediatric Dentistry Residency, where he first incorporated laser technology into his practice.
Dr. Slepak is a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry and maintains active involvement with the AAPD and ADA. He holds hospital privileges at three Brooklyn-area facilities for pediatric cases requiring general anesthesia.
Raised in Brooklyn and a father of two, Dr. Slepak combines clinical precision with the gentle approach that anxious children need, especially during their first laser procedure.
Meet Dr. Slepak →A dental laser is a focused beam of light energy that can precisely target specific tissues without affecting the surrounding area. In pediatric dentistry, lasers are used for soft tissue procedures (gums, tongue, lips) and for diagnostic purposes like detecting early-stage cavities that may not be visible on X-rays.
Laser procedures are often faster, produce less bleeding, and result in shorter recovery times. For many children, laser treatment eliminates the need for local anesthesia entirely, making the visit less stressful.

Releases the tight tissue under the tongue in seconds with minimal bleeding. Affects breastfeeding in infants and speech in older children. Most recover within 1-2 days.
Quick laser release of restricted upper lip tissue. Can cause breastfeeding difficulty, gaps between front teeth, and gum recession. Well-tolerated even by infants.
Precisely reshapes excess gum tissue covering teeth or causing discomfort. Occasionally needed when permanent teeth are erupting.
Laser fluorescence devices detect demineralization before visible cavities form. Allows treatment with fluoride or sealants rather than fillings.
Canker sores, cold sores, and other irritations treated with low-level laser therapy, reducing pain and speeding healing.
Many procedures require no anesthesia, no needles
The laser seals blood vessels as it works
Recovery typically 50% faster than traditional methods
Targets only the treatment area, leaving surrounding tissue untouched
No drill sounds or vibrations, common triggers for dental fear
Faster recovery means fewer check-back appointments
