How Does the Waterlase Work?

The Waterlase® system is a revolutionary dental device that uses laser-energised water to cut teeth. This combination of laser energy and water-spray creates HYDROKINETIC™ energy — a patented technology invented by BIOLASE scientists and engineers to perform a wide range of dental procedures on teeth, gum and bone more comfortably.

Typically, Waterlase dentists use fewer shots and less anaesthesia, reducing patient anxiety and providing a more relaxing dental experience. The Waterlase® has been cleared for HARD & SOFT tissue procedures for both children and adults.

Unlike a diode laser, the Waterlase MD™ equips a dentist to perform the full range of laser procedures — from soft and hard tissue, to bone, endodontics and periodontics. Waterlase® was first cleared by the US FDA to cut tooth structure in 1998, and since that time has received numerous additional clearances for a wide range of procedures.

Benefits of Waterlase Dentistry

Fewer Shots & Less Anaesthesia
Heat, vibration and pressure are the primary causes of pain with the traditional drill. Since cutting with Waterlase® does not generate heat, vibration or pressure, many procedures can be performed with fewer shots and less anaesthesia.
Accuracy & Precision
Waterlase® dentists remove tooth enamel decay, bone and gum tissue precisely while leaving surrounding areas unaffected — conserving and allowing you to keep more of the healthy tooth structure.
Reduced Trauma
High-speed drills can cause hairline cracks and fractures in teeth that eventually lead to future dental problems. Waterlase® reduces damage to healthy portions of the tooth and minimises trauma.
Improved Cavity Fillings
Waterlase® cavity preparations can increase bond strength of tooth-coloured restorations resulting in longer lasting fillings with superior adhesion.
Less Bleeding & Swelling
Due to its conservative, gentle cutting action and coagulating capabilities, the Waterlase® performs many soft tissue (gum) procedures with little or no bleeding and less post-op swelling.
Fewer Dental Visits
Since you often do not need shots or anaesthesia, a Waterlase® dentist can perform cavity preps in all areas of the mouth in just one visit — and many procedures previously referred to specialists.

"Immediate healing has an effect on the final aesthetic look and your smile. By changing the actual procedure from scalpel to laser, the final look is more predictable — implants placed with the laser can often have the final 'tooth' placed immediately."
