NO MORE SHOTS!!!

The number of applications for lasers in dentistry is astounding and growing larger every day. We use the BIOLASE Waterlase® MD, one of the most advanced laser dentistry systems to date, at South Side Dental Center for many procedures that would otherwise require drills or blades. These procedures can now be done faster, more accurately, and more comfortably with laser dentistry. Because there is usually little or no pain involved in laser dentistry procedures, our patients can avoid the irritating numbness of local anesthetic and still enjoy a pain-free dental experience.

Soft-tissue Procedures

The Waterlase™ gently performs numerous soft tissue (gums) procedures with little or no bleeding. The laser gives us a new high-tech tool for many procedures that previously required referral to a specialist. Now you can have them performed during your scheduled appointment at South Side Dental Center and feel better afterwards!  

Hard-tissue Procedures

Dental procedures that involve the teeth and bones are referred to as hard-tissue procedures. Heat and vibration are the causes of most of the pain associated with the drill. Since Hydrokinetic™ cutting does not transmit heat or vibration, MOST DENTAL PROCEDURES CAN NOW BE PERFORMED WITH NO PAIN!  The laser's pinpoint accuracy is precise enough that we can leave behind as much healthy tooth structure as possible, allowing you to keep your own teeth longer. Without the use of a drill, these procedures are fast and painless. This allows us to accomplish more in a single visit and you to get better results faster and with less discomfort.
