2thlaserSpectatorThe New Lares/Fotona Powerlase AT, Lightwalker Series Er:YAG/Nd:YAG lasers are here! If you have been kicking around wondering when to buy a hard/soft tissue laser, I think you might want to check this out. Here’s some stuff from the lares website: http://www.laresdental.com/lightwalker_laser_1.asp
There has been a lot of chatter online lately by Glenn how laser dentistry is in for a change, and well, here you go.
There will be three different models. One with just an Er:YAG for hard/soft tissue, it will sell for $29.995.Another with an Er:YAG/Nd:YAG combo, it will sell for $39,995.00.
And finally the Full featured model which is Er:YAG/Nd:YAG-with 2 fiber sizes, and all the bells and whistles like the Powerlase AT Spa model. $49,995.00.
As a person who trains many dentists on lasers, these are breakthrough prices that should interest those who have been kicking the tires so to speak. I am going to invite Brian or Dick to tell you more when they can.
Again, you can get more from their website listed above.
State of the art LightWalker™ Features
Smaller, Sleeker, Lighter
The LightWalker lasers are small and sleek enough to easily fit and maneuver within your operatory. Lighter weight means easier movement.
Fast, Efficient Cutting
No other lasers cut as fast as LightWalker lasers for hard or soft tissue, period.
Simple Treatment Selection
The LightWalker color screen offers a simple “paint by the numbers” menu of pre-programmed laser treatments. You pick the treatment, and the laser automatically sets your optimum starting parameters.
Unmatched Patient Comfort
Lightwalker lasers are so gentle for cavity preparations and most soft tissue procedures that patients rarely require anesthetic.

teddySpectatorMark,
I’ve been reading about the PIPS endo…and watched the video from the WCMID meeting. It looks just fascinating. How long have you been doing this procedure? Are they working out well? Seems to me that just doing one or 2 root canal treatments a month (I refer them all out) would pay for the laser.
dkimmelSpectatorAs much as I am excited to see the drop in Er prices ,
That fact that Mark is now referred to as a SENIOR has me ROFLMAO.
We just need to see his advatar changed with a picture
Of him reading the latest AARP!!! 🙂

There will be a ton of research being published in the next couple of months. Very exciting times, and yes, it would definitely pay for your laser in many ways…..Thanks Teddy!

Kenneth LukSpectatorhi Teddy,
you are absolutely right.
Like you, I used to refer all my endos out for 8 years. Since PIPS in 2010, I’ve been doing them for fun AND it pays for itself just doing one or two endos a month! That’s why I bought this laser. More revenue and it pays for itself.
You can also do snoring reduction which is very welcomed by the suffering partner!

jchanSpectatorKen,
Glad to see you on the forum here! You’ve got the Fotona Fidelis in HK, right? Would love to see your cases posted here, on DentalTown or on the Lightwalker/Powerlase Facebook site. Anyone else in your neck of the woods using the Fidelis or Lightwalker? Please elaborate on the snoring reduction…that seems to be outside of the scope of dentistry but am still very interested! Has your Fotona laser replaced your Elexxion diode for many procedures? Please say hello to Phillip for me!
