Laser Dentistry

Mast Family Dentistry is a state of the art dental clinic. We offer the best dental techniques that are available in the industry today. This includes our amazing Waterlase Laser. Our laser replaces the traditional drill and uses water and light energy to remove decay and to repair damaged teeth.

Say goodbye to the wince-provoking whine of the dental drill and the accompanying bone-shaking vibration. Instead, you’ll feel a gentle, pulsating water spray accompanied by a sound like popcorn popping. You can also say goodbye to strange-tasting topical anesthetics and needles: most patients treated with the Waterlase dental laser don’t report feeling any pain and opt for treatment without any anesthetic whatsoever. Instead, the predominant sensation is one of coolness, like the feeling of ice cream touching a tooth. It’s noticeable but not unpleasant. While the laser cuts through dental enamel more slowly than a dental drill, preparation time is reduced because there is no need to numb each surface for dental work to proceed.

Patients experience optimal comfort with fewer or no shots!

“A growing number of dentists are offering patients the laser instead of the drill or scalpel as a way to lessen anxiety and pain, trauma to tissue and healing time.”
–Seattle Times, 7/20/05

  • No drills, no needles, no droopy face (in most cases)
  • Heat and vibration cause most of the pain associated with dental procedures. The Waterlase’s® hydro-kinetic action does not transmit heat or pain, virtually eliminating the need for anesthesia.
  • The Waterlase® is proven technology, first approved by the FDA for dentistry in 1998.
  • Less complications. The hydrokinetic laser sterilizes as it cuts.
  • Less trauma. The stress and vibration of the dental drill can actually cause tiny cracks in teeth.
  • The laser actually has an analgesic (pain-killing) effect and the energy from the laser helps to quickly cauterize any bleeding.
  • Laser dentistry is an excellent choice for pediatric patients (kids) and people of all ages who have fear of traditional dental procedures.

What Is A Visit To The Laser Dentist Like?

“Not since the electric dental drill was introduced in 1875 and Novocain was invented in 1905, has there been a more important development in dentistry. It has really opened the world of dentistry to a whole new set of people.”
–Dr. Stephen Spitz

When the appointment is over, you’re ready to go right back to work, school, or wherever you left, without the need to apologize for your frozen face or slurred speech. Pain is minimal and recovery time is shortened, sometimes dramatically, because of the laser’s disinfectant and blood clotting abilities.
