LASER PRODUCTS Waterlase  The Waterlase™ uses HydroKinetic® technology to perform a variety of dental procedures. The Waterlase™ system is a revolutionary new dental device that uses laser-energized water to perform procedures previously done by a drill. It can remove decay, contour gum tissue and shape teeth in preparation for restorative and cosmetic dentistry.
The Waterlase™ significantly improves comfort in the dentist's chair: 98.5% of patients treated with the Waterlase™ system reported no discomfort during the procedure (University of the Pacific double-blind study). Conventional drills and other lasers can overheat teeth during procedures, inducing discomfort and irreversibly damaging the soft tissue or pulp underneath. Waterlase™ uses a cool-water spray –so there is no heat or vibration in the mouth. It eases the pain and anxiety of patients who fear the vibration and high-pitched whine of traditional drills. In contrast, the Waterlase™ makes a gentle (popcorn-like) noise.
