Gentle Dental is pleased to feature the revolutionary, innovative Waterlase® system, one of the truly important recent advances in modern dentistry. Our dental laser uses laser-energized water to accomplish the work of traditional drills, virtually eliminating the pain and discomfort that were often associated with dentistry in the past. Indeed, laser dentistry allows our Queens-area cosmetic dentists to perform an extensive range of procedures with incredible accuracy and speed while the patient simply sits back in the dental chair and relaxes.

The extreme precision of our dental laser allows Dr. Knop and Dr. Ilyabayev to treat selected areas of the mouth without affecting any of the surrounding tissue. As a result, patients retain more of their healthy tooth structure, ensuring optimal oral health. The Waterlase® laser dentistry system featured at our Queens practice can also seal off nerve endings and blood vessels during treatment, which in turn results in reduced bleeding, swelling, and discomfort following treatment. Our dental laser is remarkably versatile; indeed, we are able to use it in a comprehensive range of both hard-tissue and soft-tissue procedures, including:

• Root canal therapy
• Removal of tooth decay
• The preparation of cavities for fillings
• Smile restoration
• Periodontal and other soft-tissue treatment
• The treatment of dentin and enamel

The laser produces no heat or vibration and is extremely quiet, particularly when compared to the whine of the traditional drill. This extraordinarily gentle device even allows Dr. Knop and Dr. Ilyabayev to perform many treatments without the need for anesthetic. Truly, laser dentistry is ideal for any patient who has avoided visiting the dentist due to anxiety centered on traditional dental drills.
