Laser Dentistry at Heritage Dental
- Procedures performed using soft tissue dental lasers may not require sutures (stitches).
- Certain laser dentistry procedures do not require anesthesia.
- Laser dentistry minimizes bleeding because the high-energy light beam aids in the clotting (coagulation) of exposed blood vessels, thus inhibiting blood loss.
- Bacterial infections are minimized because the high-energy beam sterilizes the area being worked on.
- Damage to surrounding tissue is minimized.
- Wounds heal faster and tissues can be regenerated.
Hydrokinetics
Laser energized water, Hydrokinetics, replaces the drill in many instances. Waterlase does away with the whine of the drill. Since there is no heat or vibration, the Waterlase reduces the need for needles and anesthesia.
Waterlase uses the Hydrokinetic process which gently washes away decay with YSGG laser-energized water droplets.
Hydrokinetic energy is produced by combining a spray of atomized water with laser energy. The resulting Waterlase (Hydrokinetic) energy gently and precisely removes a wide range of human tissue including tooth enamel (the hardest substance in the body) and soft tissue (gum tissue) with no heat or discomfort in most cases.
We focus on individualized patient service and “gentle care” through the use of non-invasive procedures such as Laser Dentistry and Hydrokinetics.
Waterlase
When do we use Waterlase?
- Root Canals
- Decay Removal
- Cavity Preparation
- Smile Design
- General Soft Tissue Procedures
- General Dentistry for Enamel and Dentin
- Avoid the shot and being “numbed”
The Benefits of Waterlase
- Heat and vibration are the causes of most of the discomfort associated with the drill. Since Hydrokinetic™ cutting does not transmit heat or vibration, MANY DENTAL PROCEDURES CAN BE PERFORMED WITHOUT ANESTHESIA IN MOST CASES
- The laser's pinpoint accuracy is precise enough that your dentist can leave in place as much healthy tooth structure as possible, allowing you to keep your own teeth longer.
- Gently performs numerous soft tissue (gums) procedures with little or no bleeding. The laser gives your dentist a new high-tech tool for many procedures that previously required referral to a specialist. Now you can have them performed during your scheduled appointment and feel better afterwards!
- The Waterlase™ prepares your teeth in a way that maximizes the bonding of tooth colored filling, allowing them to last longer.
