Pediatric ROI with Waterlase Dental Lasers | BIOLASE

Dr. Sarah Mathias talks about the positive impact Waterlase Laser Dentistry has had on her practice: "When I initially looked at the Biolase laser, there's a little bit of sticker shock because you're looking at buying an $80,000 machine so your concern is this going to be worth it, am I going to get a return on my investment. I can hands down say the return on investment has been amazing. We can now treat kids and do their whole mouth in one visit. We're not bringing them back multiple times, so we're not utilizing chair time twice for something that can be done once. The kids are more comfortable, they are able to tolerate treatment more, we just get a whole lot more done in one visit. So I have a lot of patients that come to me because they have gone to another dentist. They are planning on having the treatment done in the traditional way. And the parents know the child is not going to be able to handle getting numbed ip and sitting in the chair and the options that are given to them are IV sedation which is very terrifying for a lot of parents. So they do their reserach and they end up coming here because they hear I have a Biolase laser. And they heard I can do it without having to anesthitize the child. So these parents end up being very hgappy because most of the time we can do a little laughing gas and the BIOLASE laser and the patient is able to do the treatment and even leave with a smile on their face. Having the Biolase laser has brought in so many new patients because kids will go back to class, they've been to the dentist, they walk in and they are late to class and the teacher asks where they've been, and they're like "I was at the dentist" and they're all happy and the teacher is questioning, why are you so happy?" And they're "Oh, it was great, I just had a filling," and they're completely happy and that word of mouth has gotten out there and other kids have wanted to have their fillings done here because they know its easy and fun. Before the laser there were a lot of patients who were very fearful about entering into treatment for thier child. THey thought it would not go well. They were nervous about having to do a sedation if it came to that. The conversion rate has gone way up since we got the Biolase laser because the parents know it is going to be simple and easy for their child so they don't hesitate to schedule. With the BIolase laser we're able to see more patients in a day becauase we don't have to wait for the anesthetic to set in, that's alleviating a lot of time right there, and then also we're able to do more on the patients that we do have in the chair. So we're able to do a lot more procedures in a day than we ever used to before. Purchasing the BIolase laser has been the best thing we've ever done for this practice. It saves us time, it's the best return on investment we've ever had, our parents are happier, our patients are happier, our staff is happier, and I'm definitely happier now that I've purchased the laser."
