Since you often do NOT need shots or anesthesia, with the Waterlase, Doctors Todd and Jason can perform cavity preps in all areas of the mouth in just one visit. This technology also gives dentists the ability to perform many procedures that were previously referred to specialists.
Using the Waterlase, Doctors Jason and Todd are able to remove tooth decay from enamel (the hardest substance in the body) precisely while leaving surrounding areas unaffected. This conserves the tooth and allows you to keep more of the healthy tooth structure.
The Waterlase’s HYDROKINETIC technology uses laser-energized water particles to gently remove tooth decay, killing the bacteria associated with decay, and prepares the tooth to accept tooth-colored restorations. Waterlase cavity preparations can increase bond strength of tooth-colored restorations resulting in longer lasting fillings. (The Waterlase is not appropriate for the replacement of amalgam fillings, onlays or crowns.)
In addition to fillings, the Waterlase can be used to treat sensitive teeth by sealing the tubules (located on the root of the tooth) that are responsible for hot and cold tooth sensitivity. Call for your appointment today!
