Laser Dentistry with the Fotona LightWalker®
Distinctive Dental Services is proud to offer the best in laser technology with the Fotona LightWalker®. The LightWalker® is equipped with two optimal laser wavelengths for superior clinical results.
The Nd:YAG laser energy is best for coagulation, disinfection and cell stimulation for healing
The Er:YAG laser energy is used to gently sculpt hard and soft tissue as well as stimulate collagen remodeling and kick-start new collagen formation.
Wavelength is important for the specific type of dental procedure being performed, and with the combination of both the Nd:YAG and Er:YAG wavelengths, we are able to expand our services and optimize the success of our laser treatments.

Nightlase®
NightLase® is a patented, non-invasive snoring and sleep apnea treatment for improved quality of sleep. Sleep is incredibly important for total body rejuvenation and repair. A poor night’s sleep can impact our memory function, blood pressure management, the aging process and much more. If you snore or have apnea, you may not only be impacting your own quality of sleep but your partner’s sleep as well.
NightLase® treatment utilizes both wavelengths to gently yet effectively warm the tissues, stimulating tightening of the soft palate, tongue and tonsil area. Tightening of the tissues opens the airway, which reduces snoring and can lessen the effect of sleep apnea.
Key Advantages
- Safe & non-invasive
- No down time
- Can reduce snoring and lessen the effects of sleep apnea
- Improved quality of sleep for you & your sleep partner
