Our Fotona® LightWalker® II Laser Treatments
Hard Tissue Laser Dentistry
Hard tissue laser dentistry focuses on procedures involving teeth and bone. LightWalker® II uses an Er:YAG laser wavelength designed to assist with hard-tissue dental procedures, including cavity preparation and enamel treatment.
Laser-assisted cavity preparation may allow dentists to precisely remove affected tooth structure while preserving surrounding healthy tissue when clinically appropriate. This technology supports a more controlled approach to certain restorative procedures.
Soft Tissue Laser Procedures
Soft tissue dental procedures involve the gums and other oral tissues. The LightWalker® II system incorporates an Nd:YAG laser wavelength commonly used in soft tissue dental treatments.
Laser technology may assist with procedures such as gum contouring, periodontal therapy support, and other soft-tissue management treatments. These treatments are performed using controlled laser energy designed to support precision and efficiency.
TwinLight® Laser-Assisted Treatments
The TwinLight® treatment concept combines the two laser wavelengths within the LightWalker® II system. This dual-wavelength approach enables dentists to perform procedures involving both hard and soft tissues within a single treatment plan.
The combination of Er:YAG and Nd:YAG wavelengths expands the clinical applications of Fotona® laser dentistry while allowing dental professionals to tailor treatments to each patient’s needs.
Laser-Assisted Periodontal Care
Laser dentistry may also support periodontal care when incorporated into comprehensive gum treatment plans. The LightWalker® system may assist dentists with procedures involving bacterial reduction and gum tissue management.
When used alongside traditional dental techniques, dental laser treatment can help support modern approaches to periodontal care.
At Salathe Dental, each patient receives a personalized evaluation to determine whether LightWalker® laser dentistry may be appropriate for their treatment plan.
LipLase® Lip Enhancement
LipLase® is a Fotona® laser treatment designed to enhance the appearance of the lips using controlled laser energy. This non-invasive procedure works by stimulating collagen production, which may help improve lip fullness and texture over time.
LipLase® is performed without injections and may be suitable for patients seeking a more natural-looking lip enhancement with Fotona® laser dentistry technology.
NightLase® Snoring Reduction
NightLase® is a Fotona® laser treatment designed to help reduce snoring by supporting the tightening of oral soft tissues. This treatment uses controlled laser energy to gently heat tissue, potentially improving airway support.
NightLase® may be recommended for patients experiencing snoring, depending on their individual needs and clinical evaluation.
Photobiomodulation Therapy
Photobiomodulation is a laser-based therapy performed with Fotona® LightWalker® technology, which uses low-level light energy to support tissue healing and reduce inflammation.
In dentistry, photobiomodulation may be incorporated into treatment plans to support recovery after certain procedures and promote overall oral tissue health.
