Experience Comfort with LightWalker’s Technology
LightWalker by Fotona utilizes advanced Er:YAG and Nd:YAG laser technology to gently and effectively treat peri-implantitis by eliminating bacteria while promoting natural healing through biostimulation.
What is Peri-Implantitis with LightWalker?
Peri-implantitis is a disease that infects the area around a dental implant, making the gums red and swollen. If not treated early, it could also slowly decay the bone holding the implant and cause the implant to fall off.
Dentists utilize the Lightwalker laser for the treatment of peri-implantitis. The Er:YAG laser effectively cleans bacteria from around and within the implant without causing any harm. On the other hand, the Nd:YAG laser focuses on reducing bacteria and promoting biostimulation. This laser not only effectively eliminates bacteria but also supports the healing of your gums and bone, enhancing your overall oral health.

FAQs
Is laser treatment safe for everyone?
Yes, it’s generally safe, but like other medical procedures, there are some exceptions. Diabetes patients, pregnant women, and people with metal implants like pacemakers would need special care and need to consult their dentist before moving ahead with the procedure.
How long is the recovery?
Most patients usually heal within days or take 1-2 weeks to heal, depending on the severity of the infection. The daily activities can be resumed within a day since the procedure is gentle and doesn’t cause discomfort.
Will I feel pain during the procedure?
The Fotona’s Light Walker uses gentle light and causes no discomfort. Most patients say that they feel light warmth and a slight tingling sensation, but no pain.
What happens in laser-assisted peri-implantitis?
In laser-assisted per-implantitis, the laser targets the infection and gently removes the bacteria from implants, healing the inflammation of gums and bone.
How does it compare to the traditional methods?
Unlike traditional methods, Lightwalker by Fotona doesn’t cut and scrape to clean the bacteria. It uses laser technology to gently clean and helps reduce the swelling and pain.
