What Is Waterlase Laser Dentistry?

Waterlase laser technology transforms the dental experience by providing more comfortable, precise treatment with better outcomes than traditional methods.
  • Less Pain: Waterlase is gentler on teeth and gums. Many procedures require little or no anesthesia, making your visit more comfortable.

  • Minimal Bleeding: The laser cauterizes as it cuts, resulting in significantly less bleeding during and after procedures.

  • Faster Healing: Laser treatment causes less trauma to tissue, promoting faster recovery and less post-procedure discomfort.

  • Greater Precision: The laser allows Dr. Bennett to remove decay and diseased tissue with exceptional accuracy while preserving healthy tooth structure.

  • Reduced Need for Anesthesia: Many patients require little or no anesthesia for procedures performed with Waterlase.

  • Quieter Treatment: No loud drilling sounds. Waterlase is quiet and less intimidating than traditional dental drills.

For patients who experience dental anxiety or want the most comfortable treatment possible, Waterlase offers a superior alternative to traditional dental tools.

How Does The Waterlase Work?

The Waterlase system uses a patented process called HydroPhotonics that combines laser energy and water spray. Tooth enamel naturally contains up to six percent water, while soft tissues and bone contain up to 70 percent water.
The laser emits a specific wavelength that is absorbed by water molecules in teeth and gums. This activates the molecules to cut through tissue with precision. The continuous water spray prevents heat buildup, eliminates pain, and keeps tissue hydrated throughout treatment.

Am I a Candidate for Waterlase?

Most patients are candidates for Waterlase laser dentistry. It can be used for a wide range of procedures on patients of all ages. Waterlase is especially beneficial for patients with dental anxiety, those who want minimal anesthesia, and anyone seeking the most comfortable dental experience possible.
Dr. Bennett will evaluate your specific dental needs and determine if Waterlase is the best option for your treatment. Some complex procedures may require traditional methods or a combination approach.
