In our office we have one of the most advanced LASERs available- the Waterlase™.
The Waterlase™ uses HYDROKINETIC™ technology to perform a variety of dental procedures, including cavity preparation, caries removal, tooth etching and a wide range of soft tissue (gum) procedures.
What are benefits of the Waterlase™ ?
1. The Waterlase™ significantly improves patients' comfort in the dentist's chair: 98.5% of patients treated with the Waterlase™ system reported no discomfort during their procedure.
2. Because it doesn't cause heat or vibration in your mouth, Waterlase™ eases the pain and anxiety of many people who feared the sound of the drill in the past. In contrast, the Waterlase™ makes a gentle "tapping" noise.
3. The Waterlase™ uses a cool-water spray to cut teeth without generating heat. Conventional drills and lasers can overheat teeth during procedures, inducing discomfort and irreversibly damaging the soft tissue or pulp underneath.
