What is Waterlase?

Waterlase is a type of dental laser that allows dentists to perform dental treatments using a combination of water, air, and laser energy. The dental drill alternative is a more convenient and gentler way to deliver treatment than traditional drills. It constantly sprays water, which helps keep the teeth hydrated while avoiding heat, giving patients a virtually pain-free experience during treatment.

When is Waterlase Used?

Dentists use Waterlase to perform various procedures, including but not limited to:

• Cavity preparation
• Decay removal
• Soft tissue procedures
• Gum reshaping and lifts
• Enamel and dental procedures
• Caries removal

Benefits of Waterlase

Waterlase offers many benefits, ensuring patients receive treatments that support their oral health. Benefits include:

• Pinpoint accuracy for better, faster results
• Minimal bleeding during and after procedures
• Healthy parts of teeth stay intact
• Reduced risk of infection
• Less pain and discomfort
• Little to no anesthesia required

Drill-free Waterlase vs Traditional Dental Drills

Why use drill-free Waterlase over traditional dental drills? Waterlase is a great device for laser dentistry because it can perform treatments that traditional dental drills do, but without the anxiety-inducing effects the latter often causes in patients.

Traditional dental drills emit heat, pressure, vibrations, and noise during use, which can make procedures uncomfortable for patients. To help reduce anxiety, pain, and discomfort, patients often need anesthesia, which can increase the procedure time. Plus, with anesthesia involved, patients will need to ensure that they have someone to take them to and from the appointment.

Conversely, with Waterlase, procedures are more comfortable thanks to the constant, gentle water spraying and the lack of heat, sound, and pressure sensations often associated with a traditional dental drill. Waterlase is also virtually painless, so little to no anesthesia is necessary for most procedures. And like other laser dentistry techniques, Waterlase helps dentists perform treatments efficiently.

Feel more assured about your dental health and treatments, knowing that Waterlase is a great alternative to dental drills.
