Waterlase™ Dental Laser

What is Waterlase Technology?

Waterlase uses the Hydrokinetic process which gently washes away decay with YSGG laser-energized water droplets. Hydrokinetic energy is produced by combining a spray of atomized water with laser energy. The resulting Waterlase energy gently and precisely removes a wide range of human tissue including tooth enamel (the hardest substance in the body) and soft (gum) tissue with no heat of discomfort in most cases.

What are the benefits of Waterlase ?

Heat and vibration are the causes of most of the discomfort associated with the drill. Since Hydrokinetic cutting does not transmit heat or vibration many dental procedures can be performed without anesthesia, and with little or no bleeding.

The laser’s pinpoint accuracy is precise enough that your dentist can leave in place as much healthy tooth structure as possible, allowing you to keep your own teeth longer.
