CO2 DENTAL LASERS

Here's what our customers have to say...

Dr. Kerry Damascus

"Laser Facial Resurfacing' is a new and growing field ignited by technology displayed by the DENTA Rf laser.

This modality of treatment sets my practice apart from others practicing facial aesthetics."

Dr. Chuck Hoopingarner

Dr. Michael Kelly

– Scottsdale, AZ

"I used a diode laser for many years for cosmetic cases - It always somewhat disappointed with its efficiency. The DENTA 2 CO2 laser has transformed our practice.

Dr. Ed Kusek

– Sioux Falls, SD

"I truly love my Denta 2 10600nm laser.  I purchased the laser due to the great number of Lip and Tongue tie cases we do each week.  I soon found out that the laser cuts much quicker than using 9300nm CO2 with less bleeding!  The laser is light weight to the touch with minimal hand fatigue than what I had used previously, the menu makes quick use of the laser and the aiming beam is a plus compared to other 10600nm laser on the market used for TOTS treatments.  I now use it for a great number of my soft tissue procedures.  It has become an great tool to use daily in my practice.  Company is great to work with and gives me quick response to my questions.  I believe it is the best 10600nm CO2 laser on the market and would highly recommend its purchase!."
