The Waterlase Exclusive Trial Program (WETP) was not only life-changing but transformed my practice for the better. Although I have used dental lasers previously, nothing amounted to the WETP program.
The Rest was History
During the WETP, the BIOLASE representative helped answer every question I had, went over the detailed program, and even followed up after the program, showing a level of care, consideration, and genuine love for their job—further positioning BIOLASE as a world-renowned company in a league of their own. The rest was history!
An Unparalleled Program
The hands-on experience set the WETP apart from any other training I have participated in prior. The ability to learn with the tools in front of you was the main selling point for me. The program allowed me to learn like I was back in dental school, but this time I wasn’t learning from a screen and just taking notes, I got to ask questions from dental laser experts, and apply what I had learned. The ongoing support was tremendous, if anything didn’t seem right, our representative, instructor/mentor, or colleagues were there to assist and lend a helping hand. With other programs, you learn about the product, and then you have to purchase it to try the technology. However, BIOLASE does a 45-day program where you get to learn about the laser inside and out before deciding to purchase.
Additionally, during the program, you get to take training for both soft tissue and hard tissue, which was another unique selling point to me and my practice. I have used lasers for soft tissue procedures in the past, but hard tissue usually required traditional tools such as a drill or other conventional methods. I was blown away by the versatility that Waterlase offered. I even got hands-on experience using the Waterlase for periodontal repair, gingivectomies, frenectomies, restorative repairs, and more!
By the end of the program, I became so accustomed to using the Waterlase for the simplest tasks to the most difficult procedures and knew there truly was no going back. Once I discovered the magnitude of applications, I knew the rest of the practice would fall in love with the Waterlase dental laser too, and that it was an innovative technology I needed to invest in.
An Innovative Addition to Your Toolbelt
The BIOLASE dental lasers have brought a number of unforeseeable advantages to my practice. From the ability to do periodontal work to an influx of patients in the house, the Waterlase brings advanced technology to my practice and has been an innovative addition to my toolbelt. Having experience with lasers was an advantage, but nothing could have prepared me for the level of ease and innovation the Waterlase laser brought to my practice as I was not sourcing a specialist as often, but instead able to perform the procedures myself and elevated patient care. Patients have been ecstatic to have procedures and treatments done in a single visit versus multiple visits thanks to the Waterlase. Since little to no anesthetic is needed, patients love that they are able to return to get back to their day as normal in record time.
I have been able to apply Waterlase in a practical way at my practice, and my staff and our patients continue to reap the benefits daily. Less pain, less noise, and efficient and effective visits are the best way to keep a patient happy. The Waterlase is minimally-invasive and has reduced the need to use a scalpel, needles, and anesthesia since the technology is top-of-the-line. Additionally, treatments are a fraction of the time and patients are more than comfortable and seek out the lasers when coming to appointments.

Moments That Make Being A Dentist Worth It
I have experienced how the BIOLASE dental lasers have changed my patients’ lives—one being a 38-year-old woman with a tongue tie that impacted her social life. What was even more shocking about the case was that she hadn’t been diagnosed until coming to my practice. After the five-minute procedure, you could see her confidence immediately grow and her demeanor change, and it was all thanks to the Waterlase. The ability to change lives with the quick help of a laser makes me love my job. If anyone is considering investing in a BIOLASE dental laser, I say DO IT! You won’t look back.
