Fotana Lightwalker Laser

Why laser?

• Minimized trauma
• Greater precision
• Little to no bleeding or swelling
• Quicker prep time, means fewer dental visits

How are Fotona Lightwalker procedures performed?

Though each laser dental procedure differs in detail, some elements remain constant. First, protective eye-wear will be provided to protect the eyes. Second, a small laser will project streams of atomized water to cut into the hard or soft tissue. The laser sterilizes as it moves, which means that in the case of soft tissue augmentation, the whole procedure can be completed in a single visit. The Fotona Lightwalker laser increases comfort levels and reduces anxiety. In addition, it is one of the least invasive and most effective tools that dentists have at their fingertips. Fotona Lightwalker can significantly improve the health of the teeth and restore the beauty of the smile.  

What benefits does Fotona Lightwalker Laser offer?

Fotona Lightwalker works by precisely combining atomized water and laser energy to gently remove hard and soft tissue. Additionally, the laser actually sterilizes the surgical area, meaning that there is less risk of bacterial invasions or infections. For children and fearful patients, the dental laser offers a needleless and painless way to achieve the perfect smile. Here are some reasons why using Fotona Lightwalker is preferable to the traditional dental drill:

• Adjacent teeth remain unaffected
• Faster and stronger bonding of fillings
• Less of the healthy tooth is removed
• Minimal bleeding during and after procedures
• No heat or unpleasant vibrations
• Pinpoint accuracy generates better results
• Reduced number of dental visits
• Reduced risk of post-surgical infection

 

Operating Microscopes

  In addition to digital radiography, we utilize special operating microscopes. Magnification and fiber optic illumination are helpful in aiding the doctor to see tiny details inside your tooth. Also, a tiny video camera on the operating microscope can record images of your tooth to further document the doctor's findings.  

Ultrasonics

Ultrasonic instruments can be valuable to remove or loosen obstructions that would otherwise prevent reliable endodontic therapy.

Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)

A CBCT is a focused 3D image of the tooth and surrounding structure. It is an enhanced radiography system that gives the doctor information that cannot be ascertained with a regular x-ray, such as the size and location of a crack

Electric Apex Locators

In certain cases electric apex locators can minimize the number of x-rays needed to complete root canal treatment.             .
