Less Anesthesia and Fewer Shots!
Waterlase® is a versatile tool that allows dentists to cut teeth, bone, and gum tissue with less trauma and do procedures that can’t be done with traditional tools such as the drill and scalpel. Your Waterlase® dentist will determine what type of treatment is appropriate for your needs.
Patient Comfort
Heat, vibration, and pressure are the primary causes of pain associated with the use of the traditional dental drill. Waterlase® does not generate heat, vibration, or pressure when cutting both hard and soft tissues (teeth and gums). Many dental treatments can be performed with fewer shots, less need for anesthesia. In fact, our dentists will the drill a lot less! Additionally, using the Waterlase® for gum procedures reduces bleeding, post-operative pain, swelling, and the need for pain medication in many cases.
Waterlase® dentists are able to remove tooth enamel decay (the hardest substance in the body), bone and gum tissue precisely while leaving surrounding areas unaffected. This conserves and allows you to keep more of the healthy tooth structure.
Less Bleeding & Swelling
Due to its conservative, gentle cutting action and coagulating capabilities, the Waterlase® performs much soft tissue (gum) procedures with little or no bleeding and less post-op swelling.
Faster Healing
Waterlase® provides faster healing when used in dental treatments. That is why a lot of our patients request our Waterlase® treatment.
