Manufactured by Biolase, Waterlase® is a high-tech laser surgery tool that uses a patented combination of YSGG laser and water spray to perform a wide range of dental procedures, reducing the use of traditional drills. All lasers work by delivering energy in the form of light. Using Waterlase® Laser Dentistry, we can perform many dental procedures with less noise, very little to no pain, and fewer appointments.
When used for surgical and dental procedures, the Waterlase® laser acts as a cutting instrument or a vaporizer of tissue to cut soft tissue and bone with greater accuracy and precision. Whereas drills can create loud noises, vibration, and friction, a laser typically does not touch the surface, lowering the need for local anesthesia and the risk of infection and reducing post-operative swelling.
