LASER DENTISTRY AT CORE SMILES WITH THE FOTONA LIGHTWALKER DENTAL LASER

Proven Technology, Comfortable Care
Lasers have long been the standard of care in medicine for many surgical and cosmetic procedures such as LASIK, wrinkle removal, hair removal and many others. Erbium dental lasers were approved for hard tissue procedures in the 1990s and since have been cleared for numerous additional dental procedures. Thousands of dentists around the world have performed millions of procedures with less need for shots, anesthesia, drills and post-op numb lips.

Patient Comfort
Heat, vibration and pressure are the primary causes of pain associated with the use of the traditional dental drill. Since cutting both hard and soft tissues (teeth and gums) with the LightWalker does not generate heat, vibration or pressure, many dental procedures can be performed with fewer shots, less need for anesthesia, less use of the drill and fewer numb lips! Additionally, using the LightWalker for gum procedures reduces bleeding, post-operative pain, swelling and the need for pain medication in many cases.

Accuracy & Precision
The LightWalker allows the dentist to remove tooth enamel decay (the hardest substance in the body), bone, and gum tissue precisely while leaving surrounding areas unaffected. This conserves and allows you to keep more of the healthy tooth and gum structures.

Reduced Trauma
High speed drills can cause hairline cracks and fractures in the teeth that eventually lead to future dental problems. The LightWalker reduces damage to healthy portions of the tooth and minimizes trauma. Gum, bone, and soft tissues are minimally traumatized resulting in rapid, comfortable healing.

Pain-free, Quick and Quiet Cavity Fillings
Cavity preparations with the Fotona dental laser offer numerous benefits for both patients and dental practitioners. This advanced technology minimizes discomfort and reduces the need for anesthesia, making the dental experience more comfortable. The precision of the Fotona laser allows for conservative, minimal removal of healthy tooth structure, preserving more of the natural tooth. Additionally, the laser's ability to sterilize and disinfect the treatment area minimizes the risk of post-operative infection. Patients can also expect less bleeding and faster healing times, which means quicker recovery and less disruption to their daily lives. Overall, Fotona dental laser cavity preparations represent a modern and patient-friendly approach to dental care, emphasizing efficiency, comfort, and optimal oral health. As an added benefit, laser cavity preparations increase the bond strength of tooth-colored restorations resulting in longer lasting fillings.

Less Bleeding & Swelling
Due to its conservative, gentle cutting action and coagulating capabilities, the LightWalker performs many soft tissue (gum) procedures with little or no bleeding and less post-op swelling.

Fewer Dental Visits
Since you often won’t need anesthesia, the LightWalker can perform cavity preparations in all areas of the mouth in just one visit. This technology also gives us the ability to perform many procedures that would previously take several visits in just a single visit.

Versatility
The LightWalker is extremely versatile. It can be used for a wide range of hard and soft tissue procedures. Decay removal, cavity preparation, sealants,root canals, smile design, gum and bone surgical procedures and more can be performed with the Fotona LightWalker.
