Common questions about laser dentistry, the Fotona LightWalker AT-S, and what to expect during your visit.
Is laser dentistry safe?
Yes. Laser dentistry has been used safely in dental practices for decades and is FDA-approved for a wide range of dental and soft tissue procedures. The Fotona LightWalker AT-S is one of the most advanced and well-studied dental laser systems available, designed to deliver precise energy only where it's needed — protecting healthy tissue around the treatment site.
Does laser dentistry hurt?
For most patients, laser dentistry is more comfortable than traditional treatment. Because the laser is so precise and minimally invasive, many procedures can be performed with little or no anesthesia, no drilling sounds, and significantly less post-treatment soreness. Recovery is typically faster too.
How does the Fotona LightWalker AT-S laser work?
The Fotona LightWalker AT-S combines two laser wavelengths in one system: Er:YAG (2940 nm) for hard tissues like teeth and bone, and Nd:YAG (1064 nm) for soft tissues like gums and the airway. Dr. Jared selects the right wavelength and settings for each treatment, delivering targeted energy that's gentle on surrounding tissue while producing precise, predictable results.
What is NightLase and can it really reduce snoring?
NightLase is a gentle, non-invasive laser treatment that uses the Nd:YAG wavelength to tighten and tone the soft tissues at the back of the throat. By increasing tissue firmness, NightLase helps open the airway and reduce snoring and mild sleep apnea symptoms. Most patients complete a series of three short sessions and notice improvement in sleep quality and snoring within weeks.
Is laser dentistry better than traditional drills?
Laser dentistry isn't a replacement for every traditional tool, but it offers significant advantages for many procedures. Compared to drills, the Fotona laser is quieter, more precise, often requires less anesthesia, causes less bleeding, and preserves more healthy tissue. Dr. Jared selects the best approach — laser, traditional, or a combination — based on what delivers the best outcome for your specific case.
Is laser dentistry safe for children?
Yes — and many families actually prefer it for children. Because laser treatment is quieter, gentler, and often requires less anesthesia than traditional methods, kids tend to feel less anxious during their visit. Laser dentistry is especially well-suited for pediatric frenectomy (tongue-tie or lip-tie release) and minor soft tissue work.
How long is recovery after a laser dental treatment?
Recovery times are typically shorter than with traditional dental procedures. Many laser treatments involve little to no bleeding, reduced swelling, and faster tissue healing. Most patients return to normal activities the same day. Dr. Jared will give you specific aftercare instructions based on your treatment.
Does dental insurance cover laser dentistry?
Insurance coverage depends on the procedure and your individual plan. When the laser is used to perform a covered procedure — like a filling, gum treatment, or surgical procedure — most insurance plans reimburse the same way they would for traditional treatment. Cosmetic and wellness applications like NightLase or facial esthetics are typically not covered. Our team is happy to help you understand your benefits before treatment begins.
