Waterlase®: Revolutionary Laser Dentistry

Waterlase® Dentistry is an exciting development in the field of laser dentistry that allows your dentist to perform surgery with fewer shots and less anesthesia. Waterlase® permits your dentist to treat dental problems with remarkable precision.

Applications for Waterlase® Dentistry

Waterlase® Dentistry can be used to treat a wide range of dental problems. The most common use for Waterlase® is in cavity treatment, in which the laser takes the place of the drill. Laser dentistry is also used in periodontal treatment. Waterlase® makes the treatment of root canals quicker and less painful, and allows for easier access to the jaw bone when surgeons are placing dental implants for patients with missing teeth. It also provides cosmetic dentistry patients with a way to safely reshape their teeth and recontour their gums.

The Benefits of Waterlase® Treatment

There are many important benefits associated with Waterlase® Dentistry. Perhaps most importantly, Waterlase® treatment totally eliminates the heat, pressure, and vibration of traditional dental drills. This means that, for the first time, many common dental procedures can be performed entirely without anesthesia. It also means that hairline cracks and other structural damage sometimes caused by vibrating drills are a thing of the past.

The unsurpassed precision of laser surgical tools allows dentists to minimize or completely eliminate bleeding and post-treatment discomfort. Decayed tissue can be removed without affecting the surrounding healthy tissue. Cavities treated using the Waterlase® system can be filled more effectively than those treated using a drill, resulting in longer-lasting fillings. Additionally, a trained Waterlase® dentist can perform many procedures that previously required the expertise of a specialist, resulting in the need for fewer dental visits and less expensive dental care for the patient.
