Modern dentistry is rapidly changing, and patients expect treatments to be more precise, comfortable, and minimally-invasive. Dental professionals can deliver better care to patients with a “Dental Laser Machine”. Dental laser systems can be used for a wide range of procedures, from soft tissue treatments and periodontal treatment to endodontics or oral surgery. They help dental practices increase their efficiency and expand services.
We provide the latest dental technology to hospitals, schools, universities, and private practices across the UK. We will offer you expert guidance, support and training, to help you make an informed decision, whether you’re upgrading laser technology or introducing it for the first time.
Dental laser machines are medical devices that use concentrated laser energy for a variety of dental procedures. They offer greater precision than conventional methods. Dental lasers are a great alternative to traditional scalpels and drills. They allow the clinicians to work with focused energy that can interact with soft tissue or hard tissue depending on which wavelength is used.
Dental lasers can be used for a variety of dental procedures, including:
This results in a practice that is more flexible and able to offer advanced treatments while ensuring greater patient comfort.
Laser dentistry is becoming more popular as it promotes both clinical excellence and the growth of dental practices. The minimum invasive nature of the treatment is appreciated by patients, while improved workflow and precision are a benefit to clinicians.
Some of the main advantages are:
Laser energy allows clinicians to target specific tissue while maintaining healthy structures around it.
Laser procedures are often less painful, less traumatic, and have less bleeding than conventional methods.
Laser energy is a powerful tool for reducing bacteria and soft tissue. Many patients report faster healing after certain procedures.
One dental laser platform is capable of supporting multiple disciplines in one practice. This allows dentists to provide a wider range of services.
Dental lasers produce focused light energy with carefully selected wavelengths. Different wavelengths have different interactions with water, soft tissues, enamel, dentine and bone.
Laser energy is a precise way to remove or reshape tissue, while promoting haemostasis in many procedures.
Certain laser wavelengths are suitable for the preparation of cavities, modification of tooth structure, and certain restorative procedures.
Laser protocols can be used to support conventional treatments by reducing bacterial loads in periodontal pockets, root canal systems and other areas.Laser dentistry is suited to a variety of clinical uses because of its combination of capabilities.
The versatility of dental lasers is one of the main reasons that clinics invest in this technology.
Treatments may include the following:
Laser-assisted Periodontal Therapy can help manage gum disease and improve patient comfort.
Laser energy can be used in root canal treatment protocols for canal disinfection.
With greater precision, soft tissue procedures like frenectomies and gingivectomies can be performed, as well as biopsies and crown lengthening.
Dental lasers are useful for implant surgery, soft tissue management and peri-implant care.
Select systems are designed to support minimally invasive cavity preparation and restorative procedures.
Lasers are also used to whiten teeth, contour gums, and enhance smiles.
Not all dental lasers perform the same functions.Most single-wavelength dental systems are only designed to be used in one specific area. Multi-wavelength platforms offer greater flexibility, as they can be used for both hard and softer tissue procedures.
The following practices are in use:
As your practice expands, you will need a platform that is flexible to accommodate new treatment options.
Fotona is internationally recognized for its development of advanced medical lasers used in dentistry, aesthetics and surgery. Its dental platforms are a combination of decades of research and practical clinical design that support dental practices.
The Fotona system uses laser wavelengths carefully designed to support both soft and hard tissue applications depending on the platform chosen.

Accelera pulse technology generates sub-millisecond Nd:YAG pulsewidths to provide minimally invasive skin rejuvenation and many other popular non-ablative aesthetic treatments.
FRAC3® is a three-dimensional treatment effect that seeks out minuscule, age-related imperfections in skin tissue. With FRAC3® more surrounding tissue remains unaffected, ensuring faster healing and less patient downtime compared to conventional fractional treatments.
PIANO mode is a new Nd:YAG bulk heating approach based on super-long pulse durations (0.3 – 60 s) which are longer than the thermal relaxation time of the epidermis and other skin structures such as hair follicles or blood vessels. Since PIANO mode does not cause high initial temperature peaks in the epidermis, it is the safest mode for reaching deeper lying skin tissues.
EFC (Energy Feedback Control) technology is a core safety feature which actively monitors each individual pulse’s energy level to ensure that the output energy is exactly matched to the practitioner’s chosen parameters throughout the duration of each treatment session.
VSP (Variable Square Pulse) technology is a patented solution for generating square laser pulses for more controlled energy absorption. Pulse durations can be adjusted from 50 us up to 1500 us, depending on the practitioner’s needs. VSP pulse technology minimizes unnecessary laser energy absorption into body tissues and helps to ensure ultimate performance and patient comfort during laser treatments.

TURBO mode is an Er:YAG treatment modality that enables very large ablation depths to be achieved by stacking multiple pulses on the same treatment area. Turbo mode can be used to reach deeper into the dermis than traditional (non-fractional) resurfacing to achieve particular clinical effects.
FracRevive® photorejuvenation is an easy-to-perform 2-step treatment that combines both full-spot brushing and fractional FracTAT® stamping technologies. It effectively reduces pore size, diminishes the appearance of pigmentation spots and wrinkles, and enhances overall skin texture while unifying skin tone.
The FracTAT® procedure in ablative mode enables deep resurfacing with minimal downtime, making it an ideal solution for acne scar revision, skin rejuvenation, and skin texture improvement. Additionally, FracTAT® can be performed in a gentler non-ablative mode, generating fractional microscopic lesions within tissues as a result of micro cavitations and plasma formation. These are rapidly healed by the intact surrounding tissue, leaving the skin refreshed with fewer imperfections.
In the Fotona FracTAT® tattoo removal procedure, micro-holes are drilled with a fractional laser handpiece (1), followed by treatment with a full-beam handpiece (2). Micro-holes reduce the frosting effect and pressure on the surrounding tissue and act as pressure relief ducts (3), allowing gases formed in the tattoo removal process to escape. This enables deeper pigments to be reached (4), leading to more efficient pigment destruction.

SMOOTH mode is a Er:YAG treatment modality that delivers laser energy onto the skin in a fast sequence of low-fluence laser pulses inside an overall super-long pulse of 200-350 msec. Because SMOOTH pulses are longer than the epidermal TRT, the effect of SMOOTH mode is gentle coagulative heating of the skin without any significant ablation of the epidermis.

Using a dual-channel feedback loop, EFC ensures that the energy output precisely matches the selected treatment parameters, giving you the peace of mind that every pulse is safely and accurately delivered throughout the entire session. This eliminates energy fluctuations common in less advanced systems and removes the need for manual recalibration.
Homogeneity of a laser beam is crucial for safety during treatment, as it ensures even energy distribution across the treated area. This may reduce the risk of epidermal damage, bleeding, tissue splatter, and transient skin texture changes. Achieving such homogeneity has long been a challenge in the laser industry due to the nonlinear nature of Q-switched lasers, but it is essential for optimal performance. The OPTOflex® articulated arm is designed to efficiently transmit the laser beam without losing energy or changing the beam’s original properties.
Powered by advanced ASP technology, StarWalker® features a unique green long-pulse VERDE mode, specifically designed for the treatment of vascular lesions. It offers a range of long-pulse durations (15, 20, 30, and 50 ms) to effectively target blood vessels and vascular lesions of different sizes. The 532 nm wavelength aligns with one of the oxyhemoglobin absorption peaks, allowing for the treatment of superficial vascular lesions, while the 1064 nm wavelength can target deeper and larger vessels.
KTP VERDE also allows for safe and effective removal of freckles and sun spots in patients with Fitzpatrick skin type IV, with no long-lasting adverse effects. Full-face application of long-pulsed KTP can result in improved skin texture and tone.

StarWalker’s unique VERDE mode delivers 532 nm energy in long millisecond pulses designed for treating superficial vascular lesions.
StarWalker® MaQX Pro also delivers longer 1064 nm VERSA3 pulses with a range of durations (15, 20, 25, and 50 ms), which are clinically well-proven for a broad range of treatments, such as active acne, wrinkle reduction, hair removal, and the treatment of warts or onychomycosis.

Standard Q-switched laser systems cannot deliver Nd:YAG laser pulses in the ‘long-pulse’ duration regime.
StarWalker® MaQX Pro features the revolutionary FRAC3® pulse modality, utilizing the microsecond pulse duration and high peak power density of Fotona’s VSP™ Nd:YAG pulse technology to produce a three-dimensional fractional pattern in the epidermis and dermis. This creates damage islands that are predominantly located at the sites of targeted skin imperfections. The skin’s natural healing response then acts to repair the microdamage, thereby safely rejuvenating the skin.

Standard Q-switched laser systems cannot deliver Nd:YAG laser pulses in the ‘long-pulse’ duration regime.
