At Scottsdale Center for Implant Dentistry, led by Dr. Michael Bleeker, we are committed to delivering advanced, minimally invasive treatment using the latest dental technology. Our practice utilizes the Fotona LightWalker® laser system, one of the most versatile and innovative dental laser platforms available today.
This state-of-the-art laser allows our team to perform a wide range of dental, surgical, and airway procedures with exceptional precision, improved comfort, and faster healing compared to traditional treatment methods.
The Fotona LightWalker is an advanced dental laser system designed to treat both hard and soft oral tissues. Unlike traditional dental tools, this dual-wavelength laser allows us to perform many procedures with greater accuracy and minimal disruption to surrounding healthy tissue.
This advanced technology supports a variety of treatments, including:
By combining multiple treatment capabilities into one system, the Fotona laser allows us to provide more efficient, comfortable, and predictable care.
The LightWalker system uses two specialized laser wavelengths that allow for highly precise and targeted treatment.
The Er:YAG laser is ideal for procedures involving teeth and bone. It allows us to remove damaged tissue, prepare treatment areas, and perform surgical procedures while preserving healthy structure. This laser often reduces the need for traditional drilling and minimizes heat, vibration, and pressure during treatment.
The Nd:YAG laser is designed for soft tissue procedures and advanced disinfection. It effectively removes infected tissue, reduces harmful bacteria, and promotes circulation and tissue regeneration to support faster healing.
Together, these laser technologies allow Dr. Bleeker and our team to deliver highly customized treatment tailored to each patient’s needs.
As a specialty implant practice, Fotona laser technology plays an important role in improving implant outcomes and patient comfort.
Laser technology can help with:

Fotona LightWalker technology also allows our practice to offer advanced airway therapy, including NightLase treatment for snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea.
This non-surgical procedure gently tightens oral tissues to improve airflow and support healthier breathing during sleep. NightLase may benefit patients who:
