Laser Dentistry
Our office offers laser dentistry, which eliminates the need for anesthesia and the use of the drill for dental procedures in most cases.
How does the dental laser work?
The Waterlase® system uses laser-energized water to vaporize teeth and/or soft tissue. It doesn’t generate heat or cause vibrations, thus easing the discomfort and anxiety of patients. Laser dentistry is also less invasive than traditional dentistry, preserving healthier tooth structure. For soft tissue surgery, the laser ensures less bleeding and better, faster healing at the surgery site.
What can the Waterlase® be used for?
- removal of decay and cavity preparation
- soft tissue surgery such as frenectomy, gingivectomy
- treat aphthous ulcers (canker sores)
And most procedures can be done without using anesthetics and drills.
