Waterlase Dentistry is Better Dentistry.

More Comfortable • Less InvasiveMore ProductiveMore Fulfilling

Your Patients Will Thank You

Fear and anxiety, whether mild or severe, is real and for many people can be a barrier to seeking dental treatment. Studies show that as many as 75% of adults in the U.S. experience some degree of dental fear. Drills, needles and numb lips can prevent people from taking a positive, proactive approach to oral health.

Waterlase Dentistry Changes the Dynamic

Patients experience Waterlase Dentistry as more comfortable, convenient and less invasive. With many procedures it’s possible to use less anesthetic, and in some cases, no anesthetic. This can mean getting in and out of the chair more quickly for your patients.

Multi-quadrant restorations that once entailed multiple appointments can now be completed in a single visit. And, because Waterlase Dentistry allows you to handle a wider variety of procedures, there is less need to arrange referrals to other offices — a further source of disruption and anxiety for your patients.

And now all the benefits of Waterlase Dentistry are more affordable than ever for you and your patients.

 

You’ll See Enhanced Results.

Waterlase Dentists are achieving enhanced clinical outcomes in many procedures.

Because Waterlase systems work without the heat and vibration of the drill, it’s possible to perform restorations less invasively with greater precision and accuracy.

In fact, you can create incisions as narrow as approximately 200 microns.

With Waterlase Dentistry, you can perform soft tissue surgical procedures without scalpels, or bleeding. Patients experience minimal swelling and post-operative pain. You’ll see healing with minimal tissue migration.

Take Greater Control of Your Patients’ Treatment

Whenever you refer your patients out of your office for a procedure you don’t perform, there are risks you can’t control.

Waterlase Dentists have a broader clinical repertoire to draw on.

Because they can do so much more in-house, they can establish stronger relationships with their patients and maintain a more personal connection to the treatment results.

You’ll Be More Productive

Waterlase Dentists are able to perform many procedures more efficiently, saving time and money. Here are some of the ways using Waterlase systems can help you work better — faster:

• Perform osseous crown lengthening
• Fewer injections for cavity preps means less chair-time for patients
• Switch from treating hard tissue to treating soft tissue in seconds
• Complete restorations in multiple quadrants in a single appointment
• Troughing around crown preps instead of packing cord reduces the time needed to take impressions
• Endodontic disinfection may reduce the risk of retreatment
• Laser-assisted implant placement and recovery reduces overall treatment time

 

Waterlase Dentistry Brings New Opportunities

Today, in nearly every area of health care, patients associate lasers with the most up-to-date standard of care. Waterlase Dentists stand out in providing their patients with the most advanced care and the best technology available. Their practices have a unique way of attracting new patients at a faster rate than regular dentists. It’s not surprising that in a recent survey 97% of patients said they would recommend Waterlase Dentistry to their friends and family.

Waterlase Dentistry offers such a broad range of applications, it can open up entirely new areas of dentistry to you, such as:
• Cosmetic gingivectomies
• Treatment of herpetic lesions and aphthous ulcers
• Frenectomies for gingival recessions and “tongue ties”
• Laser-assisted implant recovery and abutment connection accelerates treatment time
