"I always wanted to have whiter natural looking teeth. Dr. Postol reommended a bleaching technique that would be maintenance free after two weeks of treatment. I loved the results and could not believe the difference."

Laser Dentistry

The Waterlaser uses a Hydrokinetic process to gently wash away decay with YSGG laser -energized water droplets. Hydrokinetic energy is produced by combining a spray of atomized water with laser energy. The resulting Waterlase energy gently and precisely removes a wide range of human tissue including enamel, and soft tissue with no heat or discomfort in most cases.

Benefits of the Waterlase Dental Laser

1. Gently performs numerous soft tissue (gums) procedures with little or no bleeding. The laser give us a new high-tech tool for many procedures that we previously required referral to a specialist. Now you can have them performed during your scheduled appointment and feel better afterwards.
2. They reduce the risk of infection by decontaminating the affected areas.
3. They are much quieter than a dental drill, with no whining or vibration.
4. We can often use little or no anesthetic during the procedure.
