Advanced laser dentistry
Precision laser dentistry with a gentler touch.
Advanced dual-wavelength laser technology gives us a precise and versatile way to work with both hard and soft tissues while helping make many procedures gentler and more comfortable.
The Fotona LightWalker is an advanced dual-wavelength dental laser designed for both hard- and soft-tissue procedures.
By combining two complementary laser wavelengths, Er:YAG and Nd:YAG, LightWalker gives us exceptional versatility and control across a wide range of dental applications.
Depending on the procedure, laser-assisted dentistry can reduce many of the sensations traditionally associated with conventional dental instruments while allowing us to work precisely and conservatively.
For us, the technology is not about replacing good clinical judgment. It is about giving our dentists another highly precise tool to deliver the care your particular situation requires.
What it means for you
Less vibration
For appropriate procedures, laser energy can reduce the mechanical sensation and vibration associated with conventional rotary instruments.
Greater precision
The laser allows us to work selectively within the treatment area while preserving surrounding healthy tissue whenever possible.
Hard & soft tissue applications
LightWalker combines complementary laser wavelengths, allowing it to assist with a broad range of dental applications involving teeth, gums and other oral tissues.
A gentler experience
Depending on the procedure, laser-assisted treatment may help reduce bleeding, vibration or postoperative discomfort.
Two wavelengths. One remarkably versatile system.
LightWalker combines two different laser wavelengths because different dental tissues respond differently to laser energy. Together, they give our dentists a versatile platform that can be adapted to the clinical situation.
In the chair
- Your dentist first determines whether laser treatment is appropriate for your procedure.
- The laser settings and wavelength are selected according to the tissue and treatment being performed.
- Depending on the procedure, you may notice water spray, light sounds or gentle sensations rather than the vibration traditionally associated with rotary instruments.
- Local anesthetic may still be used whenever your dentist determines it is appropriate for your treatment and comfort.
Frequently asked questions
What is Fotona LightWalker?
LightWalker is a dental laser platform that combines Er:YAG and Nd:YAG laser wavelengths, allowing dentists to use laser technology across a broad range of hard- and soft-tissue applications.
Does laser dentistry mean I will not need anesthesia?
Not necessarily. Some procedures may require less anesthetic while others still require conventional local anesthesia. We determine this individually based on the treatment and your comfort.
What can LightWalker be used for?
Depending on the clinical situation, LightWalker can assist across restorative, periodontal, endodontic and other hard- and soft-tissue dental procedures.
Is laser dentistry appropriate for everyone?
Not every procedure requires laser treatment. We use LightWalker when we believe it offers a meaningful clinical or comfort advantage for your particular situation.
