Other benefits
of the Water laser are:
|
| |
| |
 No more high-pitched whine or vibration like with a drill. All you hear is a popping sound. It sounds like someone is making popcorn. |
| |
| |
Because there is no heat buildup or vibration, there is no inflammation of the nerve, so tooth sensitivity after fillings is no longer an issue. |
| |
| |
The laser can be set to remove tooth decay, which is much softer than healthy enamel. This means more preservation of healthy teeth than with a drill. |
| |
| |
Tooth sealants reduce tooth decay by about 80%. But sealants often fall out after a couple years. Use of the laser before sealants creates a bond so strong the sealant will likely last for a lifetime. |

Did you know it’s now possible to have a completely comfortable dental visit with virtually no pain? One reason for this is because of Laser dentistry Dentistry. That’s right, there’s a new drill in town. But this isn’t a drill. It’s a laser. You may have heard about lasers in dentistry, but did you know that most of them can only be used for whitening, curing fillings and for gum treatment? But now there’s a laser that can replace shots and drills!
The hydrokinetic, or water laser, actually focuses its energy on the water it sprays out instead of on the tooth.
This activates microscopic droplets of water, and it’s the water than instantly vaporizes the tooth decay.
Pretty cool! It’s so painless that most of the time patients don’t even require a shot. But there are other benefits of the Water laser. Because of tiny cracks in teeth, you may have to have old fillings replaced. Cracks in teeth and decay under fillings are the main reasons so many root canals are needed. Since this new laser sterilizes the tooth as it removes decay, and since, unlike dental drills, it does not create micro-cracks in teeth that can go on to become full cracks, the chances of ever having cracked teeth and decay under that new filling are much lower. This means much less chance of needing crowns or root canals. |
