Waterlase Dentistry Provides Gentle and Fast Service to Patients

Waterlase dentistry was approved by the FDA and in use since 1989.

Dentists who preform Waterlase Laser Dentistry utilize lasers and water to perform dental work. This accomplishes essential task without the use of vibration, heat or pressure that’s routine when using dental drills. This method provides a comfortable experience for the patient and reduces the need for anesthetic. In some cases, Waterlase dentistry is performed without anesthetic, depending on the procedure.

Less Painful for the Patient

Waterlase reduces swelling and bleeding thanks to cutting edge technology. This procedure provides a gentle experience when cutting into the patient’s teeth and gums compared with drills and metal tools.

The technology that makes Waterlase gentle is the combination of its use of air, water and laser energy. Teeth are partly comprised of water. The water molecules of your tooth are stimulated with the laser, allowing the molecules to cut through your tooth on contact. The laser continues to spray out water, keeping the tooth adequately hydrated, this prevents overheating which makes for a painful free procedure.

Once the dentist has performed your procedure with Waterlase you can return to business as usual. There is very little to virtually no recovery time needed.

Decreases the Risk of Cross Contamination

As careful as physicians and their staff strive to be, there is always a chance of cross contamination. With hundreds of patients coming in and out of a dental practice, the possibility of coming across bacteria is a real risk.

The use of Waterlase Dentistry lessens this risk because the laser does not come in contact with the tooth. The qualified and trained dentist professional can perform your procedure with disposable tips that are for single use only. This gives you the peace of mind that you’re not coming in contact with tools that may have been in someone else’s mouth.
