At Aesthetic Family Dentistry, we offer BIOLASE® Waterlase® technology, a breakthrough in dental lasers designed to make procedures gentler and less stressful. Many patients fear the traditional drill — the loud noise, vibrations, and heat can cause anxiety and discomfort.
The Waterlase® device uses advanced hydrokinetic technology, where laser-energized water droplets precisely remove hard and soft tissue without heat, vibration, or noise. This FDA-approved technology has been safe for both adults and children since 1998.
This versatile laser can assist in a variety of dental treatments, including:
- Caries removal
- Cavity preparation
- Dentin and enamel treatments
- Gum lifts and reshaping
- Decay removal
- Soft tissue procedures
Why Choose BIOLASE® Waterlase®?
Waterlase® combines atomized water with laser energy to gently and accurately remove both hard and soft tissue. Because of its precision, many treatments require little to no anesthesia. Plus, the laser sterilizes the area as it works, reducing infection risk. For children and nervous patients, Waterlase® means a painless, needle-free experience.
Here’s why Waterlase® is a preferred alternative to drills:
- Preserves adjacent healthy teeth
- Allows quicker, stronger bonding of fillings
- Removes less healthy tooth structure
- Minimizes bleeding during and after treatment
- No noise, heat, or uncomfortable vibrations
- Delivers pinpoint accuracy for superior results
- Reduces the number of dental visits
- Decreases risk of post-procedure infections
What to Expect During Waterlase® Procedures
While each Waterlase® treatment is unique, some steps are consistent. Protective eyewear will be provided to shield your eyes. The laser emits atomized water streams that precisely cut hard or soft tissue while sterilizing the surgical site. Many soft tissue treatments can be completed in just one visit.
Waterlase® improves comfort, lowers anxiety, and can reduce treatment costs. It’s one of the least invasive and most effective dental tools available. Many patients notice improved oral health and a renewed smile after treatment.
If you have questions about BIOLASE® Waterlase®, please don’t hesitate to ask your trusted dentist at Aesthetic Family Dentistry.
