Laser fillings: Lasers are used to cut away tooth decay before filling cavities, resulting in less vibration, less pain than traditional high speed drills. No shots, no numbness and no pain.

No such thing, but..: A water laser may be used instead of a drip to remove the decay and prepare the tooth. The filling is the same (usually a composite resin) as if it were prepared with a drill. Good Luck.
