WaterLase

When it comes to actually preparing a tooth for filling, the equipment we use is no longer the drill, but new laser based technology called WaterLase.

This device prepares teeth for fillings using a laser energized water spray. No vibration is felt, no heat is generated and the whine of the drill is replaced with a gentle popping sound. In most cases no anesthesia is required, and if soft tissue treatment is needed this can be done at the same time with little or no discomfort. In addition, WaterLase improves the overall performance of tooth reconstruction, provides better bonding, less tooth sensitivity and requires less maintenance. For more extensive procedures, the traditional drill is still necessary, but may not be for long.
