Gentle Soft Tissue Laser Dentistry in Glendora, CA

At Little Grins Pediatric Dentistry, we use advanced soft tissue laser dentistry to provide gentle, precise treatment for a variety of pediatric dental procedures. Unlike lasers used to remove cavities, our laser is specifically designed for soft tissue treatments, helping children experience greater comfort, less bleeding, and faster healing.


If your child needs treatment for a tongue tie, lip tie, or other soft tissue condition, our advanced laser technology allows us to perform these procedures with exceptional precision while making the experience as comfortable as possible.


What Is Soft Tissue Laser Dentistry?


Soft tissue laser dentistry uses a focused beam of light to gently reshape or remove soft tissue inside the mouth. Because the laser seals small blood vessels and nerve endings as it works, many procedures involve less bleeding, reduced swelling, and a more comfortable recovery compared to traditional techniques.


Please note: Our laser is not used for cavity removal or drilling teeth. It is specifically used for soft tissue procedures.


Conditions We Treat with Soft Tissue Lasers


Our pediatric dentists use laser technology for several soft tissue procedures, including:


  • Tongue tie (Lingual Frenectomy)
  • Lip tie release
  • Soft tissue contouring
  • Select pediatric soft tissue procedures when clinically appropriate

During your child's examination, we'll determine whether laser treatment is the best option for their individual needs.


Benefits of Soft Tissue Laser Treatment


Children and parents appreciate laser dentistry because it offers many advantages, including:


  • Greater comfort during treatment
  • Minimal bleeding
  • Reduced swelling
  • Faster healing
  • Precise treatment with minimal disruption to surrounding tissue
  • Less anxiety for children

Our goal is always to provide the safest, gentlest treatment possible while creating a positive dental experience.

What Our Families Are Saying!

Need Help? 

Frequently asked questions 

  • What age should my child first visit the dentist?

    The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a child’s first dental visit by age one or within 6 months of the first tooth appearing. Early visits help us monitor development and create positive, stress-free experiences from the start.

  • What makes Little Grins different from other pediatric dental offices?

    Our office is completely designed around children — with themed rooms, TVs on the ceiling, sensory boards, a prize wall, and gentle, kid-focused care. We combine advanced technology with compassion to provide safe, fun, and comfortable visits for every child.

  • Do you accept dental insurance?

    Yes! We accept most PPO insurance plans and help families verify benefits. We also file claims on your behalf to make the process simple and stress-free.

  • What if my child is anxious or afraid of the dentist?

    We specialize in helping nervous or fearful children feel relaxed. Our team uses kid-friendly language, distraction techniques, and positive reinforcement. We also offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and other sedation options for extra comfort.

  • Do you offer sedation dentistry?

    Yes. For children who need additional support, we offer nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and general anesthesia, depending on your child’s needs and the procedure.

  • Are your X-rays safe for children?

    Absolutely. We use low-radiation digital X-rays and a portable NOMAD system to keep radiation levels extremely low while still providing clear, accurate images.

  • What should I do if my child has a dental emergency?

    Call us right away at (626) 788-3308. We offer same-day emergency appointments for issues such as chipped teeth, toothaches, knocked-out teeth, swelling, or pain.

  • Do you treat children with special healthcare needs?

    Yes — our pediatric dentists have extensive training in caring for children with developmental, behavioral, and medical needs. We offer patient, individualized care in a calm, supportive environment.

  • What are BPA-free fillings, and why do you use them?

    BPA-free fillings are tooth-colored, biocompatible materials that restore teeth safely and naturally. We use them because they blend beautifully with your child’s smile and avoid the health concerns associated with BPA.

  • How can I help my child prevent cavities at home?

    Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss once per day, avoid frequent snacking and sugary drinks, and maintain regular checkups every six months. We also recommend dental sealants and fluoride treatments to provide extra protection.
