We may use Waterlase Dentistry laser to treat your gums or

any other soft tissue in your mouth to:

Improve Your SmileWe may suggest contouring or shaping your gums using

Waterlase Dentistry to improve the appearance of your

smile – safely removing excess gum tissue that may give

you a “gummy” smile, or make your front teeth appear

irregular in size or shape.

Remove Oral GrowthsWe may use Waterlase Dentistry to remove growths or

excess tissue in your mouth including gum tissue over an

unerupted tooth, small “tags” called papilla, and growths

called fibromas.

Fix a “Tongue Tie” or Prevent Gum RecessionConnections that restrict the movement of your tongue

or cause your gums to recede can be “released” with

Waterlase Dentistry.

Treat Periodontal Disease We recommend using Waterlase Dentistry to remove debris

and bacteria between your teeth and gums that can cause

bleeding gums, gum recession and even loss of teeth.

Waterlase Dentistry has been shown to reduce bacteria and

may even stimulate gum tissue growth.

Relieve the Pain of Cold Sores and Fever BlistersWaterlase Dentistry often provides immediate relief from

painful cold sores and fever blisters.

We may also use a Waterlase laser to perform other

procedures not listed here. Ask us for more information.

Waterlase Dentistry is one of the most advanced

dental technologies available today. It was developed

by BIOLASE Technology, the leader in dental lasers.

BIOLASE dental lasers have been used to treat millions

of patients.

A Waterlase laser creates special, highly concentrated

light energy, and sends it through an optical fiber to its

handpiece. Your dentist uses the handpiece to aim the

laser energy at precisely the areas to be treated. Some

laser systems combine the laser energy with a gentle

spray of water.

Waterlase Dentistry was developed specifically to repair

decayed and damaged teeth, and treat gum and other

soft tissue in the mouth, safely and comfortably. It can

be harmful to eyes, however, so you, your dentist, and

anyone else in the treatment room when the laser is

being used must wear special protective glasses.
