Fotona LightWalker Dental Laser in Austin, TX

Introducing LightWalker Dental Laser

Lasers have revolutionized Modern Dentistry. At Goehring Dental in South Austin, TX, our dentists use not only the most modern and well-vetted approaches, procedures, and equipment, but we also research and vet the companies we use for all our equipment. Dr. Goehring is always looking for ways to increase his offerings to his patients with coupled benefits.

Lasers are not new to dentistry, on the contrary, they have been a part of dentistry for over 30 years. As the years have progressed and as technology has advanced, hard tissue/soft tissue lasers have also advanced, in their abilities to be used for preciseness and accuracy.

Moving on from Ruby-based lasers, dental researchers began examining the potentials of CO2 lasers and Er: YAG lasers. Their labors were rewarded with the 1990 announcement of the first laser system industrialized exclusively for clinical use at dental offices. Today, the technology continues to progress, giving patients access to more applicable—and easier—treatment options to support their oral health and dental service options.

Dr. Goehring spent the better part of 2020 researching the perfect laser for Goehring Dental and we are happy to introduce the Fotona LightWalker.
