Who is a candidate for Fotona LightWalker laser treatment?
Dr. Taylor uses the Fotona LightWalker laser whenever possible. It presents fewer risks than traditional dental work and doesn’t require any local anesthesia.
Before moving forward with laser treatment, Dr. Taylor reviews your dental records, asks about your symptoms, and performs an oral exam. He also takes a series of digital X-rays to get a better look at your jaw, tooth roots, and alveolar bone (the bone that anchors your teeth). If Dr. Taylor uncovers any potential issues, like tooth decay or gingivitis, you qualify for treatment.
