Dental Laser - for people with dental phobia

Fotona dental laser (Dental Laser - for people with dental phobia) can be used to perform many dental procedures without needles making it a less invasive and anxiety-reducing option for patients. The laser's precise light energy can remove tooth decay, perform soft tissue procedures, and treat issues like gum disease and cold sores, often eliminating the need for local anesthesia, drills, and downtime for many treatments. 

Procedures often performed without needles

• Fillings and restorative work: The laser can precisely remove decay without the need for a drill or numbing injection.

• Soft tissue procedures: Minor adjustments to gums and other soft tissues can be performed with little to no discomfort, anesthesia, or the need for stitches.

• Gum disease treatment: The Fotona Twin Light system can target and destroy bacteria in the gums, and stimulate healing.

• Cold sores and canker sores: Lasers can be used to treat these conditions.

• Snoring and sleep apnea: Therapies like NightLase use the laser to tighten tissue, which can reduce snoring and improve sleep without needles or anesthesia. 

  
  

Benefits of using a Fotona laser

• Less pain and anxiety: The elimination of drills and needles can significantly reduce patient fear and anxiety.

• Faster healing: The laser causes less trauma to surrounding tissues, which promotes quicker recovery.

• Minimally invasive: The treatment is precise, which helps preserve healthy tooth structure.

• No downtime: Many patients can return to normal activities immediately after the procedure. 

  
  

Important considerations

• Not all procedures are needle-free: While many common treatments can be done without a needle, some more complex procedures may still require anesthesia.

• Discomfort is possible: Some patients may feel a warming sensation or brief, hot sensations during treatment, although this is typically different from the discomfort of traditional dental work.

• Multiple sessions: Some treatments may require several sessions to achieve the desired results.
