What is BIOLASE Waterlase?

BIOLASE® is an innovative dental laser designed to reduce trauma and simplify dental procedures. The Waterlase device uses hydrokinetic technology to remove both soft and hard tissue with a combination of water, air, and laser energy. It is entirely safe, comfortable, and quiet. The laser can be used on both adults and children.

Benefits of BIOLASE Waterlase

We use Waterlase instead of traditional drilling. Because the laser is so precise, it can remove decay without affecting the healthy enamel. This conservative approach is very beneficial for your oral health. Here is how Waterlase can benefit you:

  • Faster treatments and fewer office visits
  • Uses no noise, heat or unpleasant vibrations
  • No need to use anesthesia
  • Offers gum surgery without incisions
  • Assists in faster and stronger bonding of fillings
  • Makes it possible to place fillings without drilling, pain or shots
  • Produces better results due to high accuracy
  • Causes minimal bleeding during and after procedures
  • Less risk of bacterial growth or infections

Treating Your Unique Needs with Laser Dental Care

During your consultation, Dr. Winter will listen carefully to your concerns and examine your mouth thoroughly. He will then develop a treatment plan to meet your dental needs. When laser treatment can benefit your specific situation, we will explain every detail of how it will be used and how it helps you.

We choose the BIOLASE Dental laser because it maximizes comfort during procedures which help to minimize dental anxiety. It can also be used to prepare your dental restoration or to address a soft tissue complication such as gum disease.

Minimally-Invasive Laser Gum Disease Treatment

Dr. Winter uses the BIOLASE laser to disinfect gum pockets. We start by removing the plaque, tartar, and stains from above and below the gum line. We then remove any diseased gum tissue. The laser will selectively remove damage and leave healthy tissue unaffected. The laser seals the wound as it operates, which reduces bleeding, pain, and swelling during and after your treatment.
