Benefits of Dental Lasers

Once the procedure is complete, there is little to no downtime needed, giving you immediate results. This highly precise dental laser promotes faster healing and regenerates healthy tissues to improve the results of your treatment and your patient experience,

The Waterlase dental laser can be used for a wide range of hard and soft tissue procedures including decay removal, cavity preparation, root canals, smile design, as well as gum and bone surgical procedures.
