"Our vision was to make dental lasers affordable for everyone and we've succeeded," said Alan Miller, CEO and founder of AMD LASERS in a recent press release. “Our Picasso soft-tissue lasers have dominated over every other dental laser company since we brought them to market and there is no doubt we will do the same in the hard-tissue world as well. We launched Picasso and Picasso Lite with the vision to make laser dentistry affordable for every dental practice, ensuring a laser is placed in every operatory in every office around the world. With the new hard-tissue, we are continuing this mindset, by providing affordable total laser solutions to the general practitioner.
The new hard-tissue laser includes additional items and services as part of the package. First, it reportedly combines innovation with art and much smaller in size and weight compared to other hard-tissue lasers, which is said to make it easy to fit into any office. Secondly, as part of the package, each new owner will receive an all-day, in-office training by a certified dental laser hygienist covering treatment planning and billing, laser safety, full-office certification and hands-on clinical training. In addition, owners will receive a full-day Master Training Course at one of the many training centers across America.
