Waterlase Dentistry to improve the appearance of your smile

We may recommend contouring or shaping your gums using Waterlase Dentistry to improve the appearance of your smile – safely removing excess gum tissue that may give you a “gummy’ smile, or make your front teeth appear irregular in size or shape

Waterlase Dentistry

Waterlase Dentistry is one of the most advanced dental treatments available today. Waterlase uses a patented technology that combines focused light energy with a stream of water for a highly precise, exceptionally gentle dental experience.

Better Patient Experience, Faster Healing

Today’s laser technology is a major advancement in treatment. Patients treated with laser energy simply recover more quickly. The Waterlase iPlusTM performs incisions precisely and disinfects the operative site as it works, to help you heal faster.

BETTER PATIENT EXPERIENCE, FASTER HEALING

Finally, a New Way to Treat Gum Disease

Gum disease is caused by bacteria in periodontal pockets, deep in the gum tissue down to the tooth roots. Previously, the only treatment option was periodontal surgery with a scalpel and sutures, cutting your gums to reach and eliminate bacteria.

Now, with the patient-friendly REPAIR periodontal treatment protocol using a WaterlaseTM dental laser, we can preserve tissue and bone with a minimally invasive, laser based approach. If you need just one tooth treated, or your entire mouth, laser technology helps us take better care of you and your oral health.

Conventional Treatment with Drill, Scalpel and Anesthetic

Drills typically cause discomfort from heat, vibration and pressure from contact of the drill on your tooth. The scalpel causes bleeding.

The laser’s light and gentle spray of water typically causes little to no discomfort. Laser treatment causes less bleeding.

You will typically have a numb lip or cheek which can restrict eating and speaking until the anesthetic wears off. Standard surgical healing times.

If anesthetic has not been required, you can return to normal activities immediately. Laser surgeries heal quicker with less post-op pain.

Kid Preferred... Mom Approved!

The Waterlase laser uses a combination of laser energy and water to perform dental procedures that otherwise are performed with a dental drill or scalpel. This gentler method of treatment can help eliminate fear and anxieties associated with dental visits and help foster a healthier life-long mindset about oral care.

  • Gentler, minimally invasive surgery Less anesthetic for most procedures

Preferred Treatment for Tooth Decay

Waterlase laser energy quickly removes cavities with pinpoint accuracy-without the heat, vibration, and shrill sound of the drill.

For the majority of patients, no anesthesia is necessary. Fewer shots mean less anxiety and stress for both you and your child. Little to no numbness after the procedure leads to less accidental cheek biting, and fewer adverse side effects associated with anesthesia.

Smile Brighter with Mike Cook DDS

Waterlase DentistryTM treatment for oral surgery and periodontal treatment gives you important advantages over conventional treatment using scalpels and sutures. We offer Waterlase treatment to improve your comfort and help you heal faster with less pain.

We recommend using Waterlase Dentistry to remove debris and bacteria between your teeth and gums that can cause bleeding gums, gum recession and even loss of teeth. For moderate to severe gum disease, ask your doctor about REPAIRT minimally invasive periodontal treatment.

Patients treated with laser energy recover more quickly. The Waterlase stops bleeding before it starts, making procedures less painful and traumatic. Healing can occur more rapidly with less discomfort for your child and a reduced need for post-operative medication.
