In combination with an air-water spray, this Hydrokinetic™ YSGG laser is able to replace the drill in many instances. No longer will the whine of the drill be heard, but rather a tapping sound. Since there is no heat or vibration from the Waterlase™, the need for anesthetic (THE SHOT) is eliminated in most cases!




WHAT IS WATERLASE™ TECHNOLOGY?

The Waterlase TM uses the Hydrokinetic TM process which gently washes away hard tissues 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 and no pain in most cases.


WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THE WATERLASE™?

No Drills, No Needles, It's Pain-Free! - (in most cases)

 Heat and vibration are the causes of most of the pain associated with the drill. Since Hydrokinetic™ cutting does not transmit heat or vibration, MANY DENTAL PROCEDURES CAN BE PERFORMED WITH NO PAIN, VIRTUALLY ELIMINATING THE NEED FOR ANESTHESIA IN MOST CASES.

 The laser's pinpoint accuracy is precise enough that your dentist can leave in place as much healthy tooth structure as possible, allowing you to keep your own teeth longer.

 In-vitro studies have shown that tooth surfaces treated with the laser are dramatically more cavity-resistant.

 Gently performs numerous soft tissue (gums) procedures with little or no bleeding. The laser gives your dentist a new high-tech tool for many 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.

Beautiful gingival re contouring without scalpel.




HOW SAFE IS THE WATERLASE™?

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.
