Laser dentistry with the Fotona LightWalker
The Fotona LightWalker is one of the most versatile lasers in dentistry. It combines two wavelengths (Er:YAG and Nd:YAG) and allows treatments that are precise, gentle on tissue and considerably more comfortable for many patients.
What this means for you
The laser works with little contact and without the typical vibration of a drill. Depending on the findings you need less or no anaesthesia. At the same time the laser light reduces bacteria, and soft-tissue procedures bleed less, which can support healing.
To be honest
The laser is not a cure-all. Large fillings, crowns or root canal treatments still need conventional instruments. The laser complements them. We tell you openly where it helps and where it does not.

Frequently asked questions
Is laser treatment safe?
Yes. Our team is trained and everyone in the room wears protective glasses. We set the laser power precisely for each treatment.
Is the laser suitable for children?
Very much so, precisely because there is no drilling noise and often less anaesthesia is needed.
Does insurance pay?
Laser use is usually a private additional service. We discuss the costs with you beforehand.
