Laser Dentistry

Needles and dental drills are common fears but until now, they have been unavoidable. BIOLASE WaterLase, an innovative dental tool that combines the versatility of laser with the power of water, has revolutionized the dental visit. Using this tool, we can cut through both hard and soft tissue, serving as a dental drill without creating any of the heat, friction, or vibration that results in pain and discomfort. In many cases, utilizing laser dentistry in Manhattan, NY, renders the administration of local anesthetic unnecessary.

Advantages:

• Minimally invasive

• Reduced bleeding and swelling
• Decreased risk of cracks in the teeth
• Shorter dental visits
