Waterlase® is a patented technology combining the energy of lasers with a spray of water. This enables us to perform a wide range of dental procedures which are more comfortable for our patients. Typically, we use fewer shots and less anesthesia reducing patient anxiety and providing a more relaxing dental experience. 

Proven Technology - Comfortable Care

Lasers have long been the standard of care in medicine for many surgical and cosmetic procedures such as LASIK, wrinkle removal, hair removal and many others. The Waterlase was approved for hard tissue procedures in 1998 and since has been cleared for numerous additional dental procedures. Thousands of dentists around the world have performed millions of procedures with less need for shots, anesthesia, drills and post-op numb lips.

Benefits of Using Waterlase 

1. Patient Comfort
Heat, vibration and pressure are the primary causes of pain associated with the use of the traditional dental drill. Since cutting teeth and gums with the Waterlase does not generate heat, vibration or pressure, many dental procedures can be performed with fewer shots, less need for anesthesia, less use of the drill and fewer numb lips! Additionally, using the Waterlase for gum procedures reduces bleeding, post-operative pain, swelling and the need for pain medication in many cases.

2. Accuracy and Precision
With Waterlase we are able to remove tooth enamel decay (the hardest substance in the body), bone and gum tissue precisely while leaving the surrounding areas unaffected. This conserves and allows you to keep more of your healthy tooth structure.

3. Reduced Trauma
High speed drills can cause hairline cracks and fractures in your teeth that eventually lead to future dental problems. Waterlase reduces damage to healthy portions of the tooth and minimizes trauma.

4. Improved Cavity Fillings
Waterlase cavity preparations can increase bond strength of tooth-colored restoration resulting in longer lasting fillings.

5. Less Bleeding and Swelling
Due to its conservative, gentle cutting action and coagulating capabilities, the Waterlase performs many gum procedures with little or no bleeding and less post-op swelling.

6. Fewer Dental Visits
Since you often do not need shots or anesthesia, we can perform cavity preps in all areas of the mouth in just one visit. This technology also gives us the ability to perform many procedures that were previously referred to specialists.

7. Versatility
The Waterlase is extremely versatile. It can be used for a wide range of procedures - from cavity preparation to smile design!
