What To Expect During the Process
Most procedures are similar regardless of whether laser dentistry or traditional tools are being used. However, lasers produce less noise, can be used for multiple functions, and sterilize the area as they go. Therefore, the procedures can often be completed more quickly.
Many procedures can be completed within a single appointment. Others, especially cosmetic or complex procedures, may require multiple sessions. However, this is roughly in line with the same treatments provided with traditional tools.

Benefits of Waterlase iPlus
The Waterlase iPlus can enhance a range of dental treatments. KRB Dentistry will discuss when laser dentistry is beneficial. These are some advantages of laser-based dentistry over traditional tools, according to Healthline:
- Highly Precise: The laser beam's compactness makes it more precise than many traditional tools. This means that there is less damage to the surrounding tissue. Additionally, procedures are often quicker.
- Fast Healing: There is less damage, less bleeding, and a reduced need for sutures. This translates to wounds that heal more quickly.
- More Sterile: Lasers inherently sterilize the area while in use. This cuts the chance of infections. It can also simplify procedures.

Recovery Time
Compared to traditional methods, the recovery time is much faster when using the WaterLase iPlus. Since it is a minimally invasive procedure, patients typically experience less swelling and little to no bleeding afterward. This is due to the sterilization and sealing effect of the laser.
Most patients feel back to normal in less than a day, allowing them to get back to school or work faster. This is a significant change from traditional dental surgery that can sometimes take weeks to recover from properly. Since there is not much post-procedure pain, patients often do not need any prescription pain medication.
