The Right Candidate for WaterLase iPlus
Laser dentistry can treat many dental problems. That includes tooth decay, gum disease, and oral growths. Since there are few risks or side effects, the WaterLase iPlus is ideal for almost any patient, even children, regardless of their current oral health. This minimally invasive alternative is a good option for patients with health concerns or taking blood-thinning medications since they will not have to stop taking their medication to receive treatment.
People who suffer from dental anxiety or tooth sensitivity will also appreciate the minimal discomfort associated with laser dentistry. Our staff will perform a thorough examination to evaluate your teeth, gums, and mouth to determine if the WaterLase iPlus is the right treatment option for your dental issue.

What To Expect During the Process
Most procedures are similar regardless of whether laser dentistry or traditional tools are being used. However, lasers produce less noise, can be used for multiple functions, and sterilize the area as they go. Therefore, the procedures can often be completed more quickly.
Many procedures can be completed within a single appointment. Others, especially cosmetic or complex procedures, may require multiple sessions. However, this is roughly in line with the same treatments provided with traditional tools.

Benefits of WaterLase iPlus
The WaterLase iPlus has several benefits over a traditional dental drill. While both achieve similar results, they do so in completely different ways. A dental drill takes longer to use, and patients often experience pressure, heat, and uncomfortable vibrations. The Water Lase iPlus does not create any heat or vibration, reducing both the physical and emotional stress of dental work.
A regular drill also requires the removal of more of the tooth to complete the procedure. It can also create tiny cracks in the tooth, which will cause the tooth to get weaker over time. In comparison, the WaterLase iPlus is more precise, keeping more of the tooth intact.
Other benefits include:
- Faster Recovery: Laser dentistry causes less trauma to the teeth and gums, which leads to less discomfort and a faster recovery.
- More Comfortable: If the fear of the drill has kept you from seeking treatment, the WaterLase iPlus provides a comfortable and practically painless experience. In many cases, there is no need for anesthesia.
- More Convenient: WaterLase iPlus is gentle enough so our dentist can do several procedures in one day. This eliminates the hassle of multiple appointments.

Recovery Time
Compared to traditional methods, the recovery time is much faster when using the WaterLase iPlus. Since it is a minimally invasive procedure, patients typically experience less swelling and little to no bleeding afterward. This is due to the sterilization and sealing effect of the laser.
Most patients feel back to normal in less than a day, allowing them to get back to school or work faster. This is a significant change from traditional dental surgery that can sometimes take weeks to recover from properly. Since there is not much post-procedure pain, patients often do not need any prescription pain medication.
