Gentle Dental Care in St. Petersburg
Means that Patient Comfort Comes First
The three primary causes of pain associated with the use of the traditional denta drill are heat, pressure, and vibration. When cutting both hard and soft tissues (teeth and gums) the Waterlase® does not generate any heat, pressure or vibration. This means that many dental procedures can be implemented with less need for anesthesia, fewer shots, less use of the drill and less droopy face! When gum procedures are done using the Waterlase®, it reduces bleeding, swelling, post-operative pain, and in many cases, the need for pain medication.
There Are Many Benefits to Laser Dentistry &
Gentle Dental Care in St. Petersburg
Gentle dental care with laser dentistry has many perks over traditional dentistry techniques. Here are a few of the many benefits of using this natural water-powered laser dentistry.
Reduced Trauma – Traditional high speed drills can cause hairline cracks and fractures to the teeth that can bring about future dental problems. Waterlase® minimizes trauma and reduces damage to the healthy portions of the tooth.
Improved Cavity Fillings – With Waterlase®, the cavity preparation can increase bond strength of tooth-colored restoration. This results in longer lasting fillings.
Less Bleeding & Swelling – Due to its gentle cutting operation and coagulating capabilities, there is little to no bleeding and less post-op swelling after many soft tissue (gum) procedures.
More Convenient – Since you are less likely to need an injection or anesthesia, our office can do multiple simple procedures during a single visit. Waterlase® also gives our office the ability to perform a wide variety of procedures that you would have had to go to a specialist for in the past.
As you can see there are many benefits to using the cutting edge technology of Waterlase®. Our office provides that along with a caring team of professionals, a caring and warm atmosphere as well as gentle dental care to make going to the dentist fun again!
