The Fotona
LightWalker®
Dr. Glasser invests in the technology that defines modern dentistry. The LightWalker is a premium dual-wavelength laser that makes treatment more precise, more comfortable — and often possible without a needle or a drill.
Often no needle, no drill
Many soft-tissue and select hard-tissue procedures can be performed with little or no anesthesia and far less drilling than a traditional handpiece.
Dual-wavelength precision
The LightWalker pairs the Er:YAG and Nd:YAG wavelengths, so Dr. Glasser can treat both hard and soft tissue with a single advanced system.
Gentler, calmer visits
Laser energy typically means less bleeding and less post-operative discomfort for a more comfortable experience, especially for anxious patients.
Far more than cleanings
From laser gum therapy and frenectomies to cavity preparation, root-canal disinfection and NightLase for snoring and sleep.
