What are the benefits of Waterlase laser? Heat and vibration are the causes of most of the pain associated with the drill.  Since cutting the tooth with Waterlase Technology does not cause heat or vibration, MOST DENTAL PROCEDURES CAN BE PERFORMED WITH NO PAIN, VIRTUALLY ELIMINATING THE NEED FOR ANESTHESIA IN MOST CASES The Waterlase removes decay very precisely which allows you to keep a healthy tooth structure and have healthier teeth longer The Waterlase effectively performs numerous soft tissue (gums) procedures with little or no bleeding and 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. The Waterlase avoids many common problems of the high speed drill, including cracks in the teeth from the vibration and rapid turning of the drill burs which can weaken your teeth creating future problems.  The Waterlase decontaminates as it cuts reducing the chance for bacterial contamination. The Waterlase prepares your teeth in a way that maximizes the bonding of tooth colored fillings, allowing them to last longer   waterlase Biolase
