Why Alex Basti, DDS & Nina Basti, RHD, DDS choose Waterlase

Alex Basti, DDS, & Nina Basti, RHD, DDS, are committed to bringing the best dentistry available to the residents of Mission Viejo, CA, and surrounding areas. They believe that their patients deserve an excellent dental experience as well as excellent results. One of the greatest tools to be introduced to dentistry in recent years is Waterlase technology, which helps deliver safer, more conservative treatment with less patient discomfort.

What is Waterlase?

For many people with dental phobia, the drill is representative of their deepest fears. The mere sound can bring a flood of panic. Some people don’t even have anxiety about the rest of the appointment, but dread the drill. The heat, vibration, sound, and smell of drilling can be uncomfortable. In many cases it is also a psychological reaction; although they are highly sophisticated medical instruments, drills are reminiscent of woodshop equipment. Dental drills are safe, effective, and at times, necessary. However, with the advent of Waterlase technology, those times are becoming rare.

Combining the power of water and laser energy, this device can etch, shape, or cut the targeted tissues, without drilling and without heat. While thermal lasers avoid vibration, they generate heat, which can cause pain and dehydrate the tooth. By incorporating a carefully blended stream of air and water, the Waterlase technique maintains a cool temperature, and keeps the tooth hydrated throughout the procedure.

The benefits of Waterlase treatment
  • Tooth preparation is virtually painless and anesthetic shots are often not needed
  • Precision accuracy treatment preserves more healthy tissue than cutting or drilling
  • Better fillings because Waterlase preparation can increase the adhesion of filling material
  • Minimal swelling or bleeding during oral surgery
  • Fewer dental appointments, because gentler treatment allows us to combine procedures
  • Versatile and convenient Waterlase can be used for a wide variety of hard and soft tissue procedures
Waterlase is one of many technologies and techniques that Alex Basti, DDS & Nina Basti, RHD, DDS employ in their never-ending quest to bring you the best in dentistry. Call us today at 949-427-2096 and schedule an appointment at our Mission Viejo office.
