Gary L. Weller, D.D.S.
Although a native of Grand Rapids, Michigan, Dr. Gary Weller considers himself a true New Englander after 23 years in private practice in Massachusetts and Connecticut.
The key phrase to describe Dr. Weller's personality as well as that of his dental practice is "technology tempered by a gentle caring manner". A 1979 University of Michigan Dental School graduate, Dr. Weller employs laser dentistry in his cosmetic, implant and family practice. Laser dentistry is a more precise and comfortable method of tooth preparation and can reduce the amount of anesthetic required for many procedures. It allows greater and more conservative treatment options than traditional methods.
Dr. Weller's technological bent is evidenced by the fact that he worked as an airline pilot for both Eastern Airlines and US Airways while maintaining a thriving dental practice in Massachusetts. Although he is retired from the airlines and is completely devoted to dentistry in his Connecticut practice, many of his former patients and airline industry friends come to him from out of state for dental care. His patients take comfort in knowing that Dr. Weller is very honest with them in his treatment recommendations. Everything is carefully explained ahead of time including billing and treatment matters so that there are no surprises. Dr. Weller's goal is not to do "Extreme Makeovers" on every patient but to provide options that are appropriate and beneficial for long term dental health.
When not practicing dentistry or taking continuing dental education, Dr. Weller enjoys building fine furniture and working on and flying his 1948 Stinson airplane. His skills and quest for perfection as a dentist carry over to his avocation.
Dr. Weller is a member of the America Dental Association, Connecticut State Dental Association, Academy of Laser Dentistry, the Academy of General Dentistry and the American Academy of Implant Dentistry.
