What is Laser Dentistry?
The Fotona Laser is a dental laser able to produce two different laser wavelengths. This dual wavelength ability allows the doctor to perform different dental procedures with the specific laser wavelength needed. The wavelength used for different procedures is important because specific body tissues interact in different ways depending on the particular laser source. Fotona is the perfect “universal” laser because most dental treatments can be performed with either of the two wavelengths available with this laser.

Fotona is a powerful, efficient laser that allows the doctor maximum versatility and control during dental procedures. Fotona is able to make quick and efficient cuts with unmatched patient comfort. It allows for better precision and more measurable, reliable results. The LightWalker Erbium Laser also simultaneously disinfects the area as the procedure is performed. This superior disinfection allows the doctor to precisely remove decay without affecting the surrounding teeth and gums.
