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 (Hydrokinetic) energy
gently and precisely removes a wide range of human tissue
including tooth enamel (the hardest substance in the body),
and soft tissue (gum tissue) with no heat or discomfort
in most cases.
Waterlase
- A Safe Treatment
In
the hands of your trained dentist, the Waterlase is a safe
medical device. The laser provides pinpoint accuracy, reducing
the chance of causing damage to healthy tissues. The primary
safety measure necessary during laser treatment is proper
protective glasses.

What
are the benefits of the Waterlase?
No
Drills, No Needles, No Numbness -in most cases.
Heat
and vibration are the causes of most discomfort associated
with the drill. Since Hydrokinetic cutting does not
transmit heat or vibration, many dental
procedures can be performed without anesthesia.
The
laser's pinpoint accuracy means your dentist can leave
in place as much healthy tooth structure as possible,
allowing you to keep your own teeth longer.
Gently
performs numerous soft tissue (gums) procedures that previously
required referral to a specialist. Now you can have them
performed during your scheduled appointment and feel better
afterwards!
The
Waterlase prepares your teeth in a way that maximizes
the bonding of tooth-colored fillings, allowing them
to last longer.
