Laser Dentistry
If you’re looking for a gentler, more modern approach to dental care, our laser dentistry in Fort Worth, TX, makes it possible. At Fort Worth Cosmetic & Family Dentistry, Dr. Nikki Green uses the Fotona LightWalker® laser system to provide precise, minimally invasive treatment for a wide range of dental and oral health needs. This means many procedures can be done without cuts, sutures, or traditional drilling.
Patients appreciate the comfort, faster healing potential, and reduced post-treatment soreness that laser dentistry can offer. Whether you’re seeking restorative care, soft tissue treatment, or cosmetic improvements like facial rejuvenation, we’re here to elevate your experience.
Making Dental & Esthetic Care Easier on You
Comfortable, Precise, and Minimally Invasive Care
Laser technology allows us to treat targeted areas without impacting surrounding tissue the way traditional tools sometimes can. The Fotona LightWalker system is designed to minimize heat and vibration and can often reduce the need for anesthesia during certain procedures. Many patients report little to no discomfort, and because the laser helps limit bleeding and eliminates bacteria at the treatment site, healing can be smoother and more predictable.
How the Fotona LightWalker System Works
Fotona’s dual-wavelength laser uses focused light energy to treat teeth, gum tissue, and facial skin with exceptional precision. One wavelength is ideal for soft tissue procedures, while the other is optimized for hard tissue, giving Dr. Green the flexibility to perform a wide range of treatments with greater accuracy and control. Beyond traditional dental applications, the LightWalker system also offers innovative facial esthetic and holistic healing treatments that support your overall wellness.
The LightWalker system is designed to help you with:
- Suture-free periodontal therapy and bacterial reduction
- Airway and snoring concerns
- Natural lip enhancement without injectables
- Non-surgical facial rejuvenation and wrinkle reduction
- Photobiomodulation therapy to support healing and reduce inflammation
- Hard-tissue cavity preparation, often without anesthesia
- Soft-tissue contouring and smile enhancement
- Frenectomies without scalpels or sutures
- Root canal disinfection support
- Cold sore and ulcer therapy
Laser Dentistry for Healthier Gums
For patients with gum inflammation or early periodontal concerns, laser therapy may support healthier tissue by targeting bacteria beneath the gumline. The focused energy works to remove infected tissue with minimal bleeding, while leaving healthy tissue largely untouched. Combined with professional cleanings and improved home care, laser therapy can be a valuable part of a gum care plan.
Beyond Dentistry: Facial Esthetics and Holistic Healing
The Fotona LightWalker laser opens up exciting possibilities that go well beyond traditional dental care. Dr. Green is pleased to offer innovative treatments that enhance facial beauty and support your body’s natural healing processes without surgery or excess downtime.
LipLase® for Fuller, More Youthful Lips
LipLase is a non-invasive treatment that uses gentle laser energy to stimulate collagen production in and around the lips. The result is naturally fuller, more defined lips with improved texture and reduced fine lines without needles or fillers. Patients appreciate the subtle, natural-looking enhancement and the fact that results develop gradually over several weeks as collagen rebuilds.
SmoothLase® for Non-Surgical Facial Rejuvenation
SmoothLase offers a gentle approach to reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity around the mouth and lower face. By heating the deeper layers of skin, the laser stimulates collagen remodeling, which can tighten and smooth the skin over time. This treatment is ideal for patients who want to refresh their appearance without invasive procedures or prolonged recovery periods.
Photobiomodulation for Natural Healing
Photobiomodulation therapy harnesses specific wavelengths of light to support the body’s natural healing processes at a cellular level. This holistic approach can help reduce inflammation, relieve discomfort, accelerate tissue repair, and promote overall wellness. Patients have found photobiomodulation helpful for supporting recovery after dental procedures, managing TMJ discomfort, and encouraging healing in a variety of soft tissue concerns.
Comfort and Efficiency
Because there are no loud handpiece noises and no mechanical pressure, many patients find laser treatments far more comfortable than traditional methods. This can be especially helpful for anyone who is sensitive to dental sounds, has a strong gag reflex, or experiences anxiety in the dental chair.
Laser dentistry may also shorten chair time for certain procedures and reduce post-treatment inflammation. This could mean getting back to your day sooner, with less disruption.
Laser Dentistry and Your Smile Goals
In addition to clinical benefits, laser technology can also support cosmetic improvements. By contouring gum tissue and enhancing gum symmetry, the LightWalker laser can help create a more balanced, confident smile. And when combined with facial esthetic treatments like LipLase and SmoothLase, you can achieve comprehensive rejuvenation that enhances both your smile and your overall facial appearance. Dr. Green will walk you through every step and discuss whether laser treatment is the most appropriate option for your goals.
