WaterLase Laser Dentistry

Berson Family Dentistry introduces a new standard of comfort by utilizing hydro-kinetic laser energy to treat cavities without the traditional drill. This innovation allows Dr. Gary Berson to provide precise care while preserving more healthy tooth structure for our Sullivan County patients.

Have you ever wished for a dental visit that removed the vibration and heat of the mechanical drill? Our practice bridges the gap between legacy experience and modern innovation by integrating the WaterLase iPlus system. This technology uses a patented combination of laser energy and water to perform laser cavity preparation without thermal effects. Patients often find that they require less anesthesia because the laser does not generate the friction associated with traditional tools.

The gentle sound of water spray replaces the drill’s high-pitched whine, creating a more serene environment for even the most anxious visitors.

Advanced Precision Through Hydro-Kinetic Energy

The biological necessity of biocompatible restorations starts with how a tooth is prepared. Traditional high-speed drills can cause microscopic fractures in the enamel due to intense heat and pressure. In contrast, the WaterLase system performs non-invasive periodontal therapy and cavity removal by vaporizing decay with pinpoint accuracy. This method protects the tooth’s structural integrity and promotes faster healing of the surrounding tissue. Dr. Gary Berson utilizes this high-science approach to ensure that every filling is bonded to a clean, sterilized surface. Our commitment to innovation means families in the Catskills no longer need to travel to the city to access elite clinical technology.

Common Questions About WaterLase

Is laser dentistry safer than the traditional drill? Safety is our primary concern and this technology is exceptionally precise. It reduces the risk of cross-contamination by using a touchless energy source to clear away decay. You will feel much more relaxed knowing the healthy parts of your smile remain completely untouched.

Does it really hurt less than a regular filling? Most of our neighbors describe the sensation as a light cooling spray rather than a painful pressure. Because there is no heat or vibration, the nerves in your teeth often stay calm throughout the entire process. We find that many children and adults choose to skip the numbing shot altogether.

Can the laser be used for gum treatments, too? Yes, we use this versatile tool for many different procedures. It is excellent for shaping gum tissue and treating infection without the need for scalpels or sutures. This makes your recovery time much shorter, so you can get back to enjoying your day at Resorts World Catskills.
