At Bridge Street Dental, we believe that visiting the dentist shouldn't be something you dread. Our mission has always been to pair clinical excellence with maximum patient comfort—which is why we are so excited to re-introduce you to the BIOLASE Waterlase™ system.

If you’ve ever felt nervous about the sound of a drill or the sting of a needle, this technology was designed specifically for you.
What is Waterlase Dentistry?
Waterlase™ is a revolutionary leap forward from traditional dental tools. Instead of the vibration of a drill or the pressure of a scalpel, this system uses a precise combination of laser energy and a cooling water spray to perform treatments with incredible accuracy.
Why our Tadcaster patients love it:
A More Relaxed Visit:Â Because the laser is so gentle, many procedures can be performed with significantly less anaesthesia. For many, this means no needles and no "numb face" for hours after your appointment.
Precision & Preservation:Â The laser allows us to be incredibly precise, meaning we only treat the affected area and keep more of your healthy tooth structure intact.
Faster Recovery:Â Laser energy naturally cauterises as it works. This means less swelling, minimal bleeding, and a much faster healing process so you can get back to your day.
Time-Saving Efficiency:Â We know you're busy. Waterlaseâ„¢ often allows us to complete multiple procedures in a single visit, reducing the need for follow-up appointments.
Versatile Care for Every Smile
We use Waterlaseâ„¢ to provide a superior experience across a wide range of treatments, including:
Gentle Gum Therapy:Â Effectively treating periodontal (gum) disease.
Cavity Prep:Â Removing tooth decay quietly and comfortably.
Gum Reshaping:Â Improving the aesthetics of your smile with "pinpoint" accuracy.
Frenectomies: Quick, minimally invasive soft tissue procedures.
