The Fotona LightWalker is a revolutionary dental laser system that replaces or enhances many traditional dental tools. Instead of drills or scalpels, it uses highly focused light energy to gently treat teeth and gums with remarkable accuracy. This precision allows your dentist to remove only diseased or damaged tissue while leaving healthy areas untouched.
The system works with two complementary wavelengths—Er:YAG and Nd:YAG—which means it can be tailored to both hard tissue (like teeth) and soft tissue (like gums). From cavity removal and gum recontouring to periodontal therapy and cosmetic improvements, LightWalker ensures that each treatment is minimally invasive, comfortable, and effective.
Unlike traditional dental methods, which can cause bleeding, swelling, or trauma to surrounding tissue, the Fotona LightWalker gently seals as it treats. The laser’s light energy promotes coagulation and biostimulation, encouraging natural healing and tissue regeneration right from the start.
This means patients experience less pain, less need for anesthesia, and significantly reduced downtime. Many procedures that once took multiple visits or lengthy recovery times can now be completed comfortably and efficiently in just one appointment.
What can be treated with the Fotona LightWalker:
The Fotona LightWalker is an advanced dental laser system that provides gentle, precise, and minimally invasive treatments for a wide range of dental needs.
Most patients experience little to no discomfort. In many cases, anesthesia isn’t needed thanks to the laser’s precision and gentleness.
It can be used for gum contouring, cavity removal, periodontal therapy, root canal disinfection, and cosmetic dental procedures.
