• Remote Diagnostics and Support: Wi-Fi connectivity enables efficient trouble shooting, minimizing downtime, and ensuring continuous practice operation. Each morning you simply turn on the device and go through a checklist to ensure the laser system is functioning properly. Should any issues need to be addressed, a button can be pushed to send the diagnostics directly to BIOLASE.

This flexibility should set a new standard in dental laser technology, allowing a practitioner to grow from residency to retirement while upgrading their technology to keep up with their practice growth," Dr Labrecque says in the press release.
