ABOUT THE WATERLASE IPLUSOphir Alalouf

INTRODUCTION Dr. Ophir Alalouf, a pediatric dentist caring for

patients at his Rockville, Maryland, private practice, is one of very few oral health providers in his area to offer the state-of-the-art Biolase Waterlase iPlus dental laser. Ophir Alalouf, DDS, uses this advanced equipment to achieve efficient results above and beyond traditional equipment like dental drills.

The WaterLase iPlus can save time and resources by permitting dental professionals to carry out many restorative procedures without administering anesthetics.

WATERLASE IPLUS Since anesthetics, such as Novocain, are

introduced through a syringe, a process that causes anxiety in some patients, the Waterlase system can increase patient comfort.

Moreover, when compared to dental drills, lasers lower the risk of cross contamination. The tip of a WaterLase laser need not come into contact with any actual tissue, which in turn may reduce risk of potential contamination.
