What Is Laser Dentistry?
Laser dentistry uses focused light energy to perform a wide range of dental procedures with precision and minimal impact on surrounding tissues. The Fotona laser system is one of the most advanced technologies available, allowing for both hard tissue (teeth) and soft tissue (gums) treatments.
This approach reduces the need for traditional tools like drills and scalpels in many cases. It also minimizes bleeding, discomfort, and recovery time. Laser dentistry is ideal for patients seeking a more comfortable and efficient treatment experience. It represents a modern advancement in dental care.

How Laser Dentistry Works
The Fotona laser delivers controlled energy to targeted areas of the mouth. This energy can remove or reshape tissue while sterilizing the area at the same time.
Because the laser is highly precise, it minimizes damage to surrounding tissues. This leads to less discomfort and faster healing compared to traditional methods. The technology also reduces the risk of infection. Patients often experience a more comfortable overall procedure.
