Fotona Lightwalker® Laser

Fotona’s LightWalker® dental lasers allow for more conservative dentistry. Since they allow for non-contact procedures, they are minimally invasive, providing minimal pain and bleeding, if any. The lasers are so gentle that patients rarely require any anesthetic during cavity preparations and most soft-tissue procedures, making procedures far easier and faster to perform. Since the lasers work in a non-contact way, this allows for gentle and precise ablation in dentin and enamel without heating the surrounding tooth structure, resulting in the preservation of more healthy tooth structure. The drilling arm of the laser is more powerful than any other dental laser, and the lack of any unpleasant noise and vibrations provides a far more comfortable experience for patients, especially children. The LightWalker® laser also allows for disinfection and prevention of cross-contamination, meaning faster healing with fewer complications. The LightWalker® laser’s broad range of applications allows for minimally invasive endodontic and periodontal treatments, making it an innovative and valuable tool for conservative dentistry.

Fotona’s LightWalker® dental lasers are ideal for use in oral surgery, including all hard and soft-tissue treatments. They allow for effective and fast treatments without the need for sutures or a scalpel. Oral surgical procedures are able to be completed more quickly than with a traditional scalpel, and healing times are faster since there is less need for sutures. The lasers also disinfect, allowing for fewer postoperative complications. Fotona’s laser also allows for more precise control over incisions, with the ability to adjust from high speed with minimal bleeding, to more light tissue interaction with instant clotting, or deep disinfection. Montgomery Dental Centre is pleased to be able to offer Fotona’s LightWalker® dental lasers for ultimate precision and flexibility in oral surgery, with faster and more effective healing.

Fotona’s patented TouchWhite™ Tooth Whitening procedure offers laser-assisted tooth whitening treatment that is gentle, fast and minimally invasive. Making use of the fact that the laser wavelength has an absorption peak in water, which is the key component of dental bleaching agents, the laser beam is fully absorbed in the whitening gel and does not penetrate to the pulp or hard tissue of the teeth, as is the case with other laser-assisted whitening procedures. There is therefore no direct heating of the underlying tooth, and the laser’s energy can be utilized far more effectively without compromising the safety of the tooth or pulp. Designed for high speed teeth whitening (5-10 times faster than traditional teeth whitening procedures), Fotona’s TouchWhite™ is your choice for safe, fast and effective teeth whitening. Montgomery Dental Centre is pleased to be able to offer the TouchWhite™ Tooth Whitening technology so you can achieve the white and bright smile you have always wanted.

Tooth sensitivity is one of the most common dental problems encountered. Characterized by sharp, short pain arising from exposed dentin in response to stimuli, it can be present in one area of the mouth, on several teeth or on one specific tooth. Tooth sensitivity can affect quality of life, impede effective oral hygiene and subsequently affect aesthetics. Tooth sensitivity is mainly caused by worn tooth enamel or gingival recession that exposes the surface of tooth roots. Sometimes discomfort is caused by other factors such a cracked or chipped tooth, a cavity, a worm filling or gum disease. The most accepted model of why tooth sensitivity occurs proposes that movement of fluid within dentinal tubules (the means by which pulp and tissue surrounding enamel communicate) is stimulated by something (cold, hot, sweet, pressure etc.) giving rise to the ‘sharp short pain’ of tooth sensitivity. Laser treatment using Fotona LightWalker® can produce a tooth surface that partially or totally prevents dentinal tubules and affects the transmission in the dentinal fluid thereby reducing absorption and blocking the movement of fluid. The laser-assisted treatment can help with immediate and long-term pain. When compared to conventional treatment using desensitizing topical agents, laser treatment leads to quick results with shorter treatment time and increased comfort for patients. Montgomery Dental Centre is pleased to be able to provide the LightWalker® laser as a safe, fast and effective long term solution for sensitive teeth. A simple “walk-in- walk-out” procure, the LightWalker® offers increased patient comfort while providing effective relief from tooth sensitivity and unnecessary pain.

The Fotona’s ComfortLase™ laser system offers the power of the industry’s highest performance in lasers for a non-invasive solution for a wide range of wound healing and pain management applications. Using low-level, visible-red to near-infrared light energy, cells are stimulated to heal naturally, relieve pain and reduce inflammation. The process also results in the acceleration of tissue, the stimulation of cell metabolism, stimulation of micro-circulation and increased lymphatic flow. Fotona’s dual-wavelength laser system offers fast and simple non-invasive and effective pain reduction, with improved healing in a patient-friendly way. Montgomery Dental Centre pleased to be able to provide this laser technology as a solution for pain reduction and wound healing.
