At BioDent Smile, we use advanced Fotona® dental lasers to perform procedures with a higher level of precision, comfort, and biological compatibility.
This includes removing cavities without the traditional drill in many cases—reducing discomfort, preserving more natural tooth structure, and improving the overall patient experience.
What Is Laser Dentistry?
Laser dentistry uses focused light energy to treat both hard tissue (teeth) and soft tissue (gums).
With Fotona® technology, we can:
- Remove tooth decay
- Prepare teeth for fillings
- Disinfect treated areas
- Perform soft tissue procedures with minimal trauma
This allows for a more controlled, conservative approach compared to traditional methods.
How We Remove Cavities with the Fotona® Laser
Instead of using a mechanical drill, the laser delivers precise pulses of energy that selectively remove decayed tooth structure.
Here’s what that means clinically:
- The laser targets infected tissue while preserving healthy enamel and dentin
- It sterilizes the area as it works, reducing bacterial load
- It creates an ideal surface for bonding restorations
In many cases, this results in less need for anesthesia and a more comfortable experience overall.
Advantages of Laser Cavity Treatment
- Minimally invasive—preserves more natural tooth structure
- Reduced need for numbing in select cases
- Less vibration, noise, and pressure compared to a drill
- Built-in disinfection of the treated area
- Supports stronger, more predictable bonding
- Faster recovery and improved patient comfort
Bottom line: less trauma, better precision, and a more refined treatment experience.
Why This Matters
Traditional drilling is effective—but it’s not always selective.
Laser technology allows us to:
- Treat earlier-stage decay more conservatively
- Reduce microfractures caused by mechanical instruments
- Improve long-term tooth integrity
- Enhance patient comfort, especially for anxious patients
This aligns directly with our philosophy:
intervene early, remove only what’s necessary, and preserve the rest.
More Than Just Cavities
Fotona® laser technology is also used for:
- Gum contouring and soft tissue procedures
- Periodontal (gum disease) therapy
- Bacterial reduction and disinfection
- Support in airway and sleep treatments (NightLase®)
This is a multi-platform technology that enhances multiple aspects of your care.
A Biological, Patient-Centered Approach
At BioDent Smile, laser dentistry is not about novelty—it’s about better outcomes with less intervention.
We integrate laser technology into a broader strategy that includes:
- Advanced diagnostics
- Biocompatible materials
- Functional and airway evaluation
