In most cases, laser dentistry can eliminate the need for anesthesia and the use of the drill for dental procedures.
Q. How does the dental laser work?
A. 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.
Q. 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)
• Root canal therapy
• Treatment of sensitive teeth |
