Many patients have a fear of visiting the dentist—the sights, the sounds, and the smells of the office can make individuals feel very anxious about the dental chair. With laser dentistry, patients in the area of Costa Mesa, CA can rest easy and have a positive experience with their dental providers at Smiles4OC. Our dentists are pleased to provide treatment for cavities using today’s dental lasers, including the Waterlase for fillings.
Biolase has created Waterlase as a method of preparing a tooth for the placement of a filling. This method uses high-pressure stream of water that eliminates the need for a traditional dental drill. The Waterlase device has better accuracy in removing decay and is a more conservative method of preparing a tooth as it preserves as much of the natural tooth structure as possible. This can eliminate the need for placing a dental crown over a larger area of decay. The Waterlase device does not require our dental team to sedate or anesthetize a patient, allowing individuals to avoid the feeling of a puffy face and facial numbness often experienced with local anesthetics. Waterlase provides an improved and more effective way to address areas of decay than traditional methods.
Laser dentistry, in general, is more effective at providing treatment than conventional methods, which is why the team at Smiles4OC in Costa Mesa, CA are pleased to offer these solutions. With Waterlase, patients are enjoying many benefits:
Most patients who have an area of decay can benefit from our dentists’ use of Waterlase. This procedure ensures a positive visit when patients arrive, versus the fear and anxiety that often keeps an individual from getting necessary work done. Waterlase is just one of the many laser therapies utilized at Smiles4OC and is a popular choice for our dentists when compared to traditional drills. It’s the obvious choice for our patients who have areas of decay. Patients who visit our team for an evaluation will be advised as to whether they could benefit from cavity treatment with our Waterlase device.
