What Can Biscayne Dental & Facial Aesthetics Do with the Fotona Laser?

These lasers are designed to improve interaction with the dental tissue, which optimizes patient comfort, speed, and results. The LightWalker touchscreen offers a simple but extensive menu of laser treatments. Some of the areas we can utilize the laser’s abilities include: 

• Needle-free fillings

This technology allows us to perform gentle cavity preparation in the enamel and dentin without damaging the surrounding tooth structure and tissues. During the preparation, debris and bacteria are removed from the cavity tissue. With this revolutionary laser, we can adjust the laser settings according to the condition of a patient’s hard tissue, which allows us to preserve more healthy tissue.

• Endodontics

These lasers have the ability to clean, debride, and disinfect complex root canal systems. It has dual-wavelength treatment options, including endodontic and periodontal treatments. It is the only laser system on the market that includes built-in scanner technology, so we can proceed with the industry’s highest performance when we perform root canal treatments.

• Implantology

For patients who are receiving implants, these lasers can help the treatments be stable and immobile, which is important for a successful implant. The precision and high-speed nature of the devices makes it ideal in the treatment of peri-implantitis, including the removal of granulomatous tissue from the inflamed surface for bone stimulation and implant decontamination.

• Peri-implantitis treatment

Peri-implantitis is a condition that occurs when a gum surrounding a tooth implant is infected. The focus of an effective peri-implantitis treatment should be on infection control. As far as this laser’s use in its treatment, it offers a minimally invasive technique that does not damage the surrounding tissue. It also creates an efficient healing process for the patient, reduces the inflammatory response, and allows for increased long-term implant success.

• Tooth whitening

The Fotona laser offers a revitalized approach to laser tooth whitening. The laser wavelength has an absorption peak in water, which is a main part of many bleaching formulas. Because of its high absorption in water, the laser beam is fully absorbed in the gel and does not damage the hard tissue or the pulp, thus reducing sensitivity. Lasers in this setting do not generate heat and thus do not cause the common sensitivity found with most whitening treatments.

• Laser-assisted ceramic debonding

Laser-assisted removal of ceramic braces is a safe and effective way to remove orthodontic brackets and veneers. The laser wavelength is able to disrupt the bond strength, resulting in less force needed for bracket removal, reduced chair time, optimized safety, reduced risk of tooth fractures, and significantly less discomfort related to bracket or veneer removal.
