Waterlase laser treatment
Dr. Nabeel treating a patient with the Waterlase all-tissue laser.
Laser dentistry with Waterlase
Dr. Nabeel Al Nahhas treats with the Waterlase iPlus by BIOLASE, an all-tissue laser that combines laser energy with water and air to treat gums and teeth. He is certified by the Academy of Laser Dentistry. For you this means a gentle visit: no scalpel, fewer injections, a cooling water spray in place of the drill's noise and vibration, and faster, more comfortable healing than the scalpel and stitches. The Waterlase iPlus is FDA-cleared for over 80 uses. He uses it for gum treatment, laser root canal disinfection and laser-assisted implants.

How a laser visit works
Assessment
