At Signature Smiles we understand that having a comfortable dental visit is important to our patients. That is why we have invested in Waterlase Dentistry™.
With Waterlase™ you can have a relaxing dental visit. Our laser dental technology allows Dr. Klein to remove decay and treat gum disease without drills. With Waterlase™ Dr. Klein can eliminate the noise and heat of the traditional dental drill while you receive comfortable dental care.
The Biolase Waterlase® laser is an uniquely effective tool in the fight against periodontal disease (gum disease), the most prevalent disease of the oral cavity. Again, in some cases no anesthetic is required and non-surgical laser disinfection of periodontal pockets has been proven to help reduce these pockets and to increase the life of compromised teeth. So forget about the dental worries and call us today to learn more about this exciting technology.
Patient Comfort
Heat, vibration and pressure are the primary causes of pain associated with the use of the traditional dental drill. Since cutting both hard and soft tissues (teeth and gums) with the Waterlase® does not generate heat, vibration or pressure, many dental procedures can be performed with fewer shots, less need for anesthesia, less use of the drill and fewer numb lips! Additionally, using the Waterlase® for gum procedures reduces bleeding, post-operative pain, swelling and the need for pain medication in many cases.
Accuracy & Precision
Waterlase® dentists are able to remove tooth enamel decay (the hardest substance in the body), bone and gum tissue precisely while leaving surrounding areas unaffected. This conserves and allows you to keep more of the healthy tooth structure.
Reduced Trauma
High speed drills can cause hairline cracks and fractures in the teeth that eventually lead to future dental problems. Waterlase® reduces damage to healthy portions of the tooth and minimizes trauma.
Improved Cavity Fillings
Waterlase® cavity preparations can increase bond strength of tooth-colored restoration resulting in longer lasting fillings.
Less Bleeding & Swelling
Due to its conservative, gentle cutting action and coagulating capabilities, the Waterlase® performs many soft tissue (gum) procedures with little or no bleeding and less post-op swelling.
Fewer Dental Visits
Since you often do not need shots or anesthesia, a Waterlase® dentist can perform cavity preps in all areas of the mouth in just one visit. This technology also gives trained Waterlase® dentists the ability to perform many procedures that were previously referred to specialists.
Versatility
The Waterlase® is extremely versatile. It can be used for a wide range of hard and soft tissue procedures. From decay removal, cavity preparation, root canals, smile design, gum and bone surgical procedures and many others.
