Hard Teeth Laser Treatment
The Waterlase MD Turbo's unique, patented combination of a YSGG laser and water spray delivers breakthrough cutting speeds. Clinicians experience no noticeable difference in speed compared to conventional high-speed drills.
The MD Turbo can perform minimally invasive Class II MO/DO cavity preps in just 30 to 60 seconds. It even excels at cutting osseous tissue and it cuts soft tissue faster and with less trauma than soft tissue lasers.
Featuring the most advanced, state-of-the-art design ever introduced in laser dentistry, the Waterlase MD’s handpiece is built using aerospace materials for extreme durability and complete comfort. The all-new HydroBeamT handpiece is a 360° fully rotating instrument with exclusive contra-angle design and an ultra-low-mass head for maximum visibility in the surgical field. Plus, laser dentists can take advantage of an exclusive ultra-white, shadow- free LED illumination system.
