Fotona Laser Dentistry Applications

Fotona dental laser workflows may support multiple areas of care when the diagnosis fits: periodontal therapy, peri-implant tissue support, oral surgery, soft-tissue contouring, frenectomy, lesion care, TMJ comfort workflows, NightLase, and SWEEPS-assisted endodontic irrigation.

Laser care is planned around the tooth, gum, implant, airway, or soft-tissue goal. It is not a one-size-fits-all procedure.

Patient-Focused Uses

  • Gum inflammation and periodontal maintenance support.
  • Soft-tissue procedures such as frenectomy or gingivectomy.
  • Implant maintenance and peri-implant tissue concerns.
  • Comfort-focused laser workflows for selected TMJ, airway, or healing needs.

Who This Helps

Patients with bleeding gums, gum recession, bad breath, loose teeth, inflamed tissue around implants, or bone-loss concerns should understand periodontal options.

  • Patients comparing treatment options and timing.
  • Patients who want a clear diagnosis before making a decision.
  • Patients looking for modern dental technology in Cary, NC.

Patient FAQs

How can laser dentistry support gum therapy?

Laser-assisted periodontal care may support selected gum therapy by targeting inflamed soft tissue, helping with bacterial reduction, and improving access during maintenance. It is used only when it fits the diagnosis.

Can lasers help around dental implants?

For selected peri-implant tissue concerns, laser workflows may support cleaning and soft-tissue management around implants. The dentist will evaluate bone levels, implant stability, and bite forces before recommending care.

Why are periodontal maintenance visits different?

Periodontal maintenance is for patients with a history of gum disease or bone loss. Visits focus on inflammation control, deeper monitoring, home-care coaching, and risk reduction over time.
