Loved by Children
For children, going to the dentist can be particularly frightening. Adding to this problem is not only their fear of the dentist’s drill, but also of the shots that go along with many procedures. The time it takes to calm children, administer the anesthetic, wait for it to take effect and begin the work makes dental visits quite an ordeal. Fortunately, new developments in dentistry are making many of these issues a thing of the past. The introduction of dental lasers will change the way you and your child feel about going to the dentist. WaterLase “drill-less” dentistry is a procedure that can greatly reduce or eliminate much of what you fear most about dental work. In most cases, the dental laser requires no anesthetic, which means no shots. And it works just as quickly and effectively as the drill for removing tooth decay.
The WaterLase filling is safe, gentle and effective. Many young patients who have experienced this procedure reported little to no pain or real discomfort. In addition to being more comfortable, dental lasers often allow patients to resume normal activities after their visits. This means you may be able to eat right away, and go about your day without the residual swelling and numbness you would normally experience. WaterLase dental lasers use water to help remove decay from the teeth. This combination is as powerful as the drill. Another advantage to this method versus the standard drill is that even when treating a child who may squirm or move, there is less risk of cutting or otherwise injuring the mouth.

TESTIMONIALS BY DOCTORS & PATIENTS

Waterlase iPlus & Epic Laser
“There is a huge amount of new technologies on the market. But every once in a while something really amazing is developed that really change the way we practice. The Biolase Waterlase iPlus is one such piece of technology. To now have a laser that is able to cut soft tissue, tooth and bone is like Harry Potter discovering magic for the first time. This is definitely one of those technologies that has revolutionised my practice. Being able to cut bone and soft tissue with minimal trauma and none of the vibration and noise of a normal drill is unbelievable and extremely beneficial for any patient especially those with dental phobias of any sort. The addition of the laser to my treatment of gum disease has also expanded the treatment possibilities to include all the most advanced treatment methodologies which I was unable to perform before the Waterlase iPlus. Being able to use the laser on soft tissue without any anaesthetic is another unbelievable practice builder. It works for young children who need small soft tissue procedures done and it can be totally ‘atraumatic’ for them.”

Waterlase iPlus & Epic Laser
“Instead of the patient having to undergo surgery followed by a recovery time of anything from a number of days to weeks before seeing me again, I can now achieve the same result in one sitting. Not only are the procedures fewer but they are also less invasive, and the time of the actual procedure is shorter as is the recovery time. What makes this technology particularly impactful is that it makes dentistry available to more people. A procedure that required surgery now can be done at the dentist office with minimum discomfort and pain and a fast recovery.
“Obviously the technology provides a high return to the dentist, but the real benefit is that it is a fantastic tool of convenience for the patient. It is efficient and quick. Patients are time-starved so this is really a big benefit.”
