Laser Dentistry
You’re about to have your first experience with a new and exciting technology, the Waterlase MD Laser. Dental lasers are designed to assist the dentist in the treatment of both hard tissues (teeth and bone) and gingival tissues (gums).
Most procedures can be performed comfortably, without an injection. This includes the fixing of cavities in teeth and the treatment of the gums. Thus, patients young and old alike, have nothing to fear when they visit the laser dentist!
Dental lasers can be used for a variety of treatment procedures. Depending upon the treatment needs, the laser may be used for several minutes or possibly for only a brief moment. However, even those procedures that require only a short period of laser usage, benefit from the many advantages of laser therapy. Bleeding is minimized, swelling is controlled and there is usually little if any postoperative discomfort. Most procedures can be performed comfortably, without the need of a local anesthetic or injection.
