Digital Scanning

There are many benefits to using digital scanning in dentistry. Perhaps the most obvious benefit is that it makes it possible for Dr. Witty to map his patient's oral cavity. This helps him to better plan out the placement of dental implants, braces, and other treatments.


Another big advantage of digital scanning is that it allows for more precise measurements. This makes it possible to get a more accurate picture of what's going on in your mouth, which can help with diagnosis and treatment planning. Additionally, digital scanning results in less trauma to the teeth since traditional X-rays can often damage tooth enamel.

WaterLase® Laser Dentistry

WaterLase dentistry is one of the most advanced dental treatments today. WaterLase uses a patented technology that combines focused light energy with a stream of water for a highly precise, exceptionally gentle dental experience. WaterLase allows your dentist to perform a wide range of procedures with benefits including:


  • Faster healing time and less trauma to teeth and gums
  • Less anesthetic for most procedures
  • Treating dental needs in more than one part of the mouth in one visit

Benefits of Waterlase Dentistry


More Comfortable

WaterLase dentistry uses laser energy and a gentle spray of water to perform a wide range of dental procedures without the heat, vibration and pressure associated with the dental drill. With many procedures, it’s possible to use less anesthetic, or in some cases, no anesthetic at all.


More Convenient

Your WaterLase dentist can often get you in and out of the dentist chair faster, since it’s less likely that you’ll need an injection. It’s nice to avoid that shot, isn’t it?


Not using anesthetic can allow your dentist to perform procedures that used to require more than one visit, in a single appointment. Also, a WaterLase dentist can perform procedures that once meant an additional trip to a specialist, saving you even more time.


More Precise

A WaterLase dentist can remove decay far more precisely than a drill. This saves more of the healthy parts of your tooth, and avoids micro-fractures that drill friction may cause. Saving your natural teeth can save you the discomfort and cost of bridges, dentures, and implants. Even better, studies show people with natural teeth live longer.


What Can WaterLase Dentistry Do?

We may use WaterLase dentistry laser to treat your gums or other soft tissue in your mouth to:


  • Improve Your Smile

We may suggest contouring or shaping your gums using WaterLase dentistry to improve the appearance of your smile – safely removing excess gum tissue that may give you a “gummy” smile, or make your front teeth appear irregular in size or shape.


  • Remove Oral Growths

Quickly and safely remove growths or excess tissue in your mouth including gum tissue over an unerupted tooth, small “tags” called papilla, and growths called fibromas.


  • Fix a “Tongue Tie” or Prevent Gum Recession

Connections that restrict the movement of your tongue or cause your gums to recede can be “released” with less post-operative pain.


  • Treat Periodontal Disease

We recommend using WaterLase dentistry to remove debris and bacteria between your teeth and gums that can cause bleeding gums, gum recession and even loss of teeth. For moderate to severe gum disease, ask your doctor about REPAIR minimally invasive periodontal treatment.
