Dental Applications of the Fotona Laser

Fotona technology is an integral part of our modern dental care approach. Laser energy allows many procedures to be performed more gently than with traditional alternatives. 

Common dental uses include:

  • Soft-tissue therapies
  • Gentle cavity preparation
  • Bacterial reduction in periodontal pockets
  • Cold sore and canker sore treatment
  • Gum contouring when appropriate
  • NightLase® snoring therapy — non-surgical airway support (Learn more on our NightLase page)
  • Disinfection during root canal therapy

Laser dentistry can help improve patient comfort, reduce vibration/noise, and minimize post-procedure sensitivity.
