The Waterlase MD Turbo uses HYDROKINETIC™ energy — laser-energised water — to cut hard and soft tissue simultaneously. Unlike a conventional drill, it generates no heat, no vibration, and no pressure. Most cavity preparations are performed without injections. Most gum procedures require no sutures. Most patients leave surprised by how comfortable it was.
What the Waterlase Does
The Waterlase MD Turbo is unique in that it performs procedures across every tissue type — the only laser system cleared for both hard and soft tissue, bone, endodontics and periodontics. No other dental laser system covers this range.
The Waterlase MD laser removes excess gum tissue with millimetre precision — reshaping the gum line in a single session without scalpel or sutures. The result is immediately visible: balanced, proportionate gum levels that frame the teeth correctly. The laser seals blood vessels as it works, producing virtually no bleeding and minimal post-operative discomfort. This before and after case was performed personally by Dr. Habib Zarifeh.
Dark gum pigmentation is caused by melanin deposits in the gingival tissue. The Waterlase MD laser vaporises the pigmented layer with precision, leaving the underlying tissue intact and creating uniformly pink gums in a single session. No bleeding. No sutures. No anaesthetic injection in most cases. Results are visible immediately and are stable for years. This procedure is popular among patients from West Africa and the wider Middle East where gum pigmentation is commonly present.
Oral papillomas, fibromas, mucoceles, leukoplakia, and other soft tissue lesions are excised using the Waterlase MD laser in a precise, bloodless incision. The laser simultaneously removes the lesion and seals the wound — no sutures required in most cases, minimal post-operative discomfort, and faster healing than conventional excision. All excised tissue is sent for histopathological analysis as standard protocol. Early detection and removal of oral lesions is one of the most important preventive procedures in dentistry.
The Waterlase MD removes tooth decay without the heat, vibration, and pressure of a conventional drill. Because these three factors are the primary causes of dental pain, most cavity preparations can be completed without anaesthetic injections. The laser removes only the decayed tissue — leaving healthy enamel and dentine completely intact. The etched surface produced by laser preparation also creates a stronger bond with tooth-coloured composite restorations, producing fillings with superior long-term adhesion compared to drill-prepared cavities.
The Waterlase MD laser is used within the root canal system to decontaminate and debride areas that conventional irrigants cannot reach. Laser energy penetrates dentinal tubules and accessory canals, eliminating bacteria at a depth mechanical cleaning alone cannot achieve. The Waterlase is also used for apicectomy, root end preparation, and removal of periapical pathological tissue. Combined with the operating microscope, laser-assisted endodontics at Ferrari Dental Clinic achieves a degree of canal cleanliness that significantly reduces retreatment rates.

Dr. Habib Zarifeh — International Laser Expert
Dr. Habib Zarifeh holds an MSc in Laser Dentistry from RWTH Aachen University, Germany — the academic qualification that underpins every laser procedure performed at Ferrari Dental Clinic. He has been an active international speaker on laser dentistry worldwide for over a decade, presenting at conferences across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The Waterlase MD Turbo is not a peripheral tool at Ferrari Dental Clinic — it is central to the clinical philosophy of the entire practice.
"97% of patients who experience Waterlase treatment would recommend it to their family and friends." This is not a marketing claim — it is the outcome data from clinical studies on patient experience. At Ferrari Dental Clinic, the numbers reflect what patients tell us every day: the drill was never necessary in the first place.
