Why Laser Dentistry
Waterlase uses laser energy and a gentle spray of water to remove tooth decay in a way that helps desensitize the tooth to where local anesthetic or “numbing” is usually unnecessary. So no shots! Since a shot is one of the leading causes of dental anxiety, we can often treat cavities with children who would otherwise not be able to tolerate fillings. For soft tissue applications such as lip and tongue-ties, using our laser results in less bleeding and swelling, and faster healing.
