Westfield, NJ Family Dentist Promises Virtually Pain Free Visits with WaterLase Dentistry

WaterLase dentistry utilizes lasers with a cool stream of water to treat cavities and other dental problems with no drilling needed. Because the process is so comfortable, patients rarely need anesthesia.

Westfield, NJ (prHWY.com) March 6, 2013 - Westfield, NJ, February 8, 2013 - The idea of needles and drilling can be frightening for both children and adults. The Westfield, NJ Family Dentist is pleased to be able to offer an option to traditional drilling through the use of WaterLase Dentistry. WaterLase dentistry utilizes lasers with a cool stream of water to treat cavities and other dental problems with no drilling needed. Because the process is so comfortable, patients rarely need anesthesia.

"We've found that the heat, vibration and pressure of the traditional dental drill are the main causes of pain and discomfort," explains Dr. Thomas Streko. "Using WaterLase dentistry at our Westfield, NJ Family Dentist office we are able to offer our patients nearly pain-free treatment. For the patient this means fewer shots, less need for anesthesia, and minimal use of the drill. This is especially valuable when treating young patients who may be fearful and anxious about needles and drilling."

With the introduction of technologies in dentistry like WaterLase, patients can now approach their dental care confidently and with little fear. Procedures performed using WaterLase result in healthier teeth and gums and less time spent in the dental chair.

Additional benefits of WaterLase dentistry are:


Less damage to healthy bone and gums: Tooth decay can be targeted precisely while leaving surrounding areas unaffected. High-speed drills can also cause hairline cracks and fractures to develop that eventually lead to other dental problems.

Less Post-Treatment Bleeding and Swelling: The conservative, biologically based cutting action of WaterLase allows many soft gum tissue procedures to be performed with little or no bleeding and less post-treatment swelling.

Fewer visits to the dentist: Since there is little discomfort, a WaterLase dentist can treat many problems just one visit. Trained dentists can now perform many procedures that used to be referred to specialists, saving time and inconvenience when addressing the dental needs of the entire family.
