Dr. Evan Wetzler brings a passion- ate commitment to his periodon- tal and dental implant practice. “We provide the latest technology de- signed to help patients keep their teeth and replace what is missing,” explains Dr. Wetzler, who received his dental degree and advanced periodontal training at NYU College of Dentistry. “And we are equally committed to ensuring the health and happiness of our patients.”
Always at the forefront, Dr. Wetzler is the first periodontist in Westchester to have the PerioLase MVP-7, the only FDA- approved laser for treating chronic adult periodontitis, gum infections that are the major cause of tooth loss. LANAP is the surgical laser protocol that uses the PerioLase to treat periodontal disease. “It’s a less painful, less traumatic alternative to traditional periodontal surgery. With LANAP, we avoid cutting, incisions, and stitches,” says Dr. Wetzler.

Staying mentally fit can be a challenge, especially for sufferers of seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Shorter daylight hours and more time spent indoors weathering the cold makes us more vulnerable to the blues.
