Laser Technology:
The Waterlase, by Biolase, is an all purpose laser. It is simple in its design, but extremely versatile. It can cut both soft tissue (gums) and hard tissue (teeth & bone), in most cases, without discomfort. Laser technology promises to eliminate, or significantly reduce, the need for anesthesia and needles. It also allows a dentist to perform a procedure more quickly and with greater precision. Increased precision minimizes bleeding and the risk of infection, which promotes faster recovery with less pain.
Numerous dental procedures can be performed using lasers. Such procedures include surgical and cosmetic for patients of all ages. One such use is the removal of decayed cavity tissue and preparation of surrounding enamel for resin/tooth-colored fillings. Dental lasers can even be used to treat cold sores with no anesthesia, providing immediate relief and disappearance of the sores.
