A laser welder can be a valuable tool in a dental laboratory. It can lower material and labor costs and increase productivity and quality by eliminating the need to invest and solder. The type of laser usually used is a YAG laser, which operates at a wavelength of 1,064 µm. A laser welder usually features a binocular microscope to view the weld site along with a wand laser. Spot size varies between 0.2 mm- 2.0 mm. These welders can be used with a range of dental alloys for both crown and bridge cases, implants and implant-borne restorations, orthodontics, as well as removables. When purchasing a laser welder for your dental laboratory, choose a vendor who offers implementation/application training.
