About
What is Laser Dentistry?
At Arcadia Medi-Dental Group, your comfort is our priority. That’s why we use the cutting-edge Fotona LightWalker dental laser—designed to make treatments gentler, quieter, and more precise.
Laser dentistry significantly minimizes pain, reduces bleeding, and lowers the risk of infection by eliminating the need for traditional cutting tools. Whether working with hard or soft tissue, this advanced technology helps create a more relaxing, safer, and stress-free dental experience.
Applications
Sculpt, Clean, Treat
From cavity prep to gum contouring, laser dentistry lets us deliver high-quality care that feels better and heals faster—because your comfort matters.
​
Hard Tissue Treatments: Our laser can gently and accurately remove tooth decay, prepare teeth for fillings, and even treat tooth sensitivity by sealing tubules on the tooth root. Say goodbye to the drill—and hello to a quieter, more comfortable experience.
​​
Soft Tissue Treatments: Lasers are perfect for reshaping gums, treating gum disease, and performing frenectomies (tongue-tie correction) with minimal bleeding and faster healing. It’s ideal for patients who want less discomfort and a quicker recovery.​​​​
Benefits and Considerations
Is it right for you?
Benefits: One of the biggest advantages of laser dentistry is that it’s often less invasive and gentler on oral tissues compared to traditional methods. Lasers can reduce the need for stitches and anesthesia, making procedures more comfortable. They also promote faster healing by aiding in blood clotting and sterilizing the treatment area—helping lower the risk of infection.
​​
Considerations: While laser dentistry is a great option for many, it’s not suitable for everyone. Teeth with certain types of fillings, like metal amalgam, may not be ideal for laser treatment. In some cases, the condition of surrounding tissues or the structure of the tooth or gums may limit laser use. Also, some procedures may still require anesthesia or traditional dental tools.
