At Smiles by Shields, we utilize the Fotona LightWalker Laser across many areas of our practice. In addition to select dental procedures, this advanced technology is used for photobiomodulation, NightLase® airway therapy, SmoothLase®, LipLase®, laser facial peels, and other facial aesthetic treatments that support both oral health and overall wellness.

Without the use of shots or drills, this laser treatment is ideal for filling cavities or other minimal surgeries, such as frenotomy for tongue tie release. The Fotona Laser includes an added bacterial effect that is free from vibrations or high-pitched sounds, which helps to ease the tension that can be associated with visiting the dentist.

We also utilize the Fotona LightWalker Laser for photobiomodulation, a non-invasive treatment that supports healing before, during, and after many dental procedures. By stimulating the body’s natural cellular repair process, photobiomodulation can reduce inflammation, minimize discomfort, and promote faster healing after treatments such as extractions, implants, periodontal therapy, and oral surgery.

This state-of-the-art technology is not only effective for holistic dentistry procedures, but for integrative dentistry services as well.

Nightlase® Therapy is a non-surgical, non-invasive laser treatment used to increase a patient’s airway, helping to treat snoring and sleep apnea. Each treatment is extremely comfortable, requires no downtime, and can be done in 15 minutes. Patients can resume their daily routines immediately afterwards, and see results after each session.

Along with the benefits of the Fotona laser, this revolutionary technology can also be used to help cosmetically improve dark or puffy eyes, fine lines, wrinkles, varicose veins, age spots on the face, and even perform facial peels that improve the appearance of your skin’s health.
