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 (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.
What can the Waterlase be used for?
Root canals, decay removal, cavity preparation, smile design, general soft tissue procedures, general dentistry for enamel and dentin, avoid the shot and being "numbed".
Waterlase - A Safe Treatment
In the hands of our trained dentists, the Waterlase is a safe medical device. The laser provides pinpoint accuracy, reducing the chance of causing damage to healthy tissue. The primary safety measure necessary during laser treatment is proper protective glasses.
