The WaterLase is cleared for over 80 FDA-approved procedures. Here are the most common ways we use it at Karing Dental to improve your comfort and outcomes.
Gum Disease Treatment
The WaterLase laser eliminates harmful bacteria hiding deep within gum pockets with unmatched precision — without the cutting and suturing required by traditional periodontal surgery. Gum tissue heals faster and more comfortably.
- Destroy bacteria beneath the gumline without scalpel or stitches
- Reduce periodontal pocket depth and support bone reattachment
- Less bleeding, swelling, and discomfort than conventional surgery
- Antibacterial properties reduce the risk of post-treatment infection
Cavity Removal & Fillings
Say goodbye to the drill. The WaterLase removes tooth decay precisely and gently using laser-energized water — preserving more healthy tooth structure and eliminating the heat and pressure that make traditional fillings uncomfortable.
- Remove decay without the noise or vibration of a dental drill
- Preserve significantly more natural, healthy tooth structure
- Many patients require little or no local anesthesia
- Ideal for anxious patients and children who fear the drill
Gum Contouring & Reshaping
A gummy smile or uneven gumline can affect your confidence. The WaterLase precisely sculpts excess gum tissue to reveal more of your teeth — with virtually no bleeding, no sutures, and a dramatically faster recovery than scalpel-based procedures.
- Recontour a gummy smile or uneven gumline with precision
- No scalpel, no stitches — laser seals tissue as it works
- Minimal swelling and discomfort after the procedure
- Often completed in a single comfortable appointment
Frenectomy & Soft Tissue Procedures
Tongue-ties, lip-ties, and restrictive frenum tissue can affect speech and feeding. The WaterLase corrects these issues quickly and gently — making it especially well-suited for children who need soft tissue treatment without the fear of needles or scissors.
- Treat tongue-tie and lip-tie without scissors or sutures
- Safe and gentle for infants, children, and adults alike
- Remove overgrown or irritated gum tissue with minimal trauma
- Quick recovery — most patients are comfortable within hours

Laser dentistry is not a trend — it is a clinically proven advancement that consistently delivers better patient experiences and superior outcomes across a wide range of treatments.
Little or No Anesthesia
Many Biolase procedures are completed without a single injection. The laser’s gentle energy interacts with water molecules in your tissue — eliminating the pressure and heat that require numbing with traditional methods.
No Drill, No Noise, No Fear
The WaterLase is virtually silent compared to a traditional dental drill. For patients with dental anxiety — especially children — this single difference transforms a dreaded visit into a calm, manageable experience.
Faster, More Comfortable Healing
The laser cauterizes tissue as it works, reducing bleeding, swelling, and inflammation. Clinical studies consistently show faster healing and less post-procedure discomfort compared to conventional treatment approaches.
Maximum Precision, Minimal Damage
The WaterLase removes only what needs to be removed. Healthy tooth structure, bone, and gum tissue surrounding the treatment area are preserved — protecting your long-term oral health at every procedure.
Antibacterial by Nature
Laser energy destroys bacteria on contact. In gum disease treatment and cavity removal alike, this built-in antibacterial effect reduces the risk of post-treatment infection — supporting cleaner, more complete healing.
Ideal for the Whole Family
Because the Biolase WaterLase is gentle enough for infants and precise enough for complex adult procedures, it is one of the most versatile tools in our practice — benefiting patients of every age and every level of dental comfort.

Made me feel very comfortable!Posted on Candice GarciaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I love this place! My kids and I were both disappointed when our insurance changed and we we had to switch dentists. We recently changed plans again, and the first thing I did was call to see if we were able to switch back. My kids love Doctor Shah, this place is the only office that actually CLEANS my teeth when I come, as opposed to just rubbing the paste on them. And they never try to sell me unwanted/needed services!
