For many, the thought of a dental drill sparks anxiety and fear of discomfort, often leading people to delay or avoid necessary dental care. But what if there was a way to skip the pain and stress by visiting the dentist without traditional dental tools? Well, you’re in luck! WaterLase is designed to minimize pain during dental procedures by combining advanced laser technology with a fine mist of water, ensuring a calm, effective treatment experience.

Our team is dedicated to using advanced technology like WaterLase and personalized approaches to make every visit as smooth and stress-free as possible. Whether you’re here for routine care or a more complex procedure, we work to ensure you feel at ease and leave with a healthy, confident smile.
What Is WaterLase?
WaterLase technology is a minimally invasive dental tool that can be safely used on both adults and children. It combines a focused beam of light energy with a stream of water to provide precise, comfortable results while treating a broad range of dental issues. The interaction between the laser energy and water molecules allows WaterLase to remove tissue gently without creating heat or friction. Some common dental procedures that can be performed using WaterLase technology include:
- Cavity preparation
- Gum disease treatment
- Gum contouring
- Dental implant preparation
- Crown lengthening
- Endodontic procedures like root canals
- Uncovering impacted teeth
- Removing infected tissue
Unlike traditional dental drills, which often require larger amounts of tooth to be removed, WaterLase is accurate enough to remove only the damaged tissue, leaving healthy teeth behind. This allows dentists to target specific areas without damaging surrounding tissue. If you have any questions about WaterLase technology and how it can be used in your next dental procedure, please contact us to schedule an appointment.
How WaterLase Minimizes Pain in Dental Procedures
Traditional dental drills and scalpels create heat, vibrations, and pressure that are uncomfortable for most people. Without this friction and heat, WaterLase is virtually pain-free and often requires little to no anesthesia. This shortens appointment times and eliminates the lingering numbness usually associated with dental visits. Patients are able to leave the dentist feeling more comfortable and ready to resume their daily activities. For those who fear the dentist, the gentle, pain-free approach of the WaterLase helps create a positive experience that can build a better relationship with the dentist in the long run.
For many, just the sound of the dental drill alone causes anxiety. Because WaterLase operates silently, patients are able to have a more relaxing, stress-free appointment. WaterLase technology is also shown to speed up healing, reducing the amount of time you might feel discomfort following your procedure. WaterLase’s minimally invasive design reduces trauma to healthy tissue, allowing the body to recover faster. This reduced trauma to healthy tissue also allows for more than one procedure in an appointment, making it a convenient option when you have a busy schedule and can’t make multiple visits to the dentist.
