With the Waterlase™ YSGG™ dental laser, Dr. Loller is now equipped with a revolutionary new dental instrument that allows patients to visit the dentist without having to take a shot of anesthetic, hear the sound of the dental drill, or even suffer any pain (in most cases).

The Waterlase works because of its patented Hydrokinetic™ energy, which is produced by emitting laser energy into a spray of atomized water. The water is energized and then is capable of cutting a wide range of human tissue including enamel (the hardest substance in the body), bone, cartilage and soft tissue.  This has important 21st century benefits for both the dentist and their patients that include:

• Many procedures can be done without anesthesia, without needles or patient trauma.
• Quickly cuts all parts of the tooth including enamel, dentin and decay.
• Effectively performs numerous soft tissue procedures with little or no bleeding.
• Avoids many common problems of the high speed drill.  For example, when a high speed comes in contact with a tooth, it causes micro fissures (small cracks) which can eventually weaken the tooth structure.

• Leaves a high quality surface which allows the Waterlase™ to acheive better bonding for composites, veneers, etc;
