Applications of Laser Dentistry
Laser technology can be used across various dental treatments, offering solutions for both therapeutic and cosmetic needs:
Laser Periodontal Treatment & Gum Health
Our TwinLight® laser treatment for periodontal health is an advanced method to manage gum disease. This three-step procedure uses dual laser wavelengths to eliminate bacteria, remove infected tissue, and stimulate healing. The minimally invasive approach results in less discomfort and quicker recovery.
Laser Root Canal Therapy
With Fotona’s SSP and SWEEPS® technology, laser root canal therapy provides superior disinfection and cleaning, reducing the risk of reinfection. This technique allows for more precise removal of bacteria and infected tissue while preserving more of the healthy tooth structure.
Laser Cavity Preparation
The LightWalker® laser enables us to remove decay with unparalleled precision, preserving more of your natural tooth. This gentle, minimally invasive approach reduces the need for anaesthesia and creates a stronger bond for longer-lasting fillings.
Laser Teeth Whitening
Our TouchWhite™ laser teeth whitening provides faster, more effective results with less sensitivity. The laser activates the whitening gel, resulting in a brighter smile in a shorter time.
Laser-Assisted Extractions and Soft Tissue Procedures
Lasers allow for gentler extractions and soft tissue procedures like frenectomies, with minimal bleeding and faster healing. Photobiomodulation therapy following extractions enhances tissue regeneration and reduces post-treatment discomfort.

NightLase® is a non-invasive treatment that uses laser energy to tighten the tissues at the back of the throat, reducing snoring and improving sleep quality without the need for surgery or appliances.
