Laser Welding for Dental Labs
Sisma laser welders deliver the control needed for dental restorations, implant structures, repairs, and other detailed laboratory welding applications.
Greater Control for Detailed Work
Dental welding requires exceptional accuracy, especially when working with small components, complex geometries, and heat-sensitive areas.
Sisma laser welders concentrate energy precisely at the weld point, helping limit heat exposure to surrounding areas while producing clean, controlled, and repeatable welds.
Ideal for applications including:
- Bridge and framework repairs
- Removable partial denture frameworks
- Implant-supported structures
- Contact point corrections
- Marginal closure adjustments
- Precision repairs and modifications

Dental Laser Welding FAQs
What is a dental laser welder used for?
Dental laser welders are used to join, repair, and modify small metal components using highly localized heat. Applications can include bridges, removable partial dentures, implant-supported structures, and other dental laboratory components.
What metals can the Sisma lasers weld for dental applications?
Sisma can handle a variety of alloys including, but not limited to precious metal alloys, Cobalt-Chromium alloys, Titanium & Titanium Alloys, Stainless Steels, Nickel Chromium Alloys. Welding parameters should be selected based on the specific alloy and application.
Can a laser welder weld titanium dental components?
Yes. Pulsed Nd: YAG laser welding is used for titanium dental applications. The LM-D supports an argon connection for applications requiring shielding gas.
Why is argon used when laser welding titanium?
Argon helps protect the heated titanium weld area from atmospheric contamination during welding. Displacing oxygen from the weld site is particularly important when working with reactive metals such as titanium.
Can the Sisma LM-D weld cobalt-chromium dental alloys?
Yes. Sisma lasers can weld togethr a host of similar and dis-similar non-ferrous alloys including cobalt-chromium
How small of a weld can the Sisma LM-D make?
The standard LM-D focal spot diameter ranges from 0.2 to 2.0 mm. With available Nano Spot technology, the minimum spot diameter can be reduced to 0.05 mm.
What is Nano Spot technology?
Nano Spot is Sisma technology designed for extremely fine laser welding. It reduces the minimum laser spot diameter to 0.05 mm, allowing technicians to concentrate laser energy on a very small area.
Does every Sisma laser welder include Nano Spot?
No. Nano Spot availability depends on the specific LM-D configuration. A Gesswein laser specialist can help determine whether Nano Spot is appropriate for your applications.
What is the difference between the Sisma LM-D and LM-DT?
Both are desktop Nd: YAG laser welding systems. The LM-DT adds an integrated camera system for viewing the welding process on screen and supports connection to an external monitor.
How do I choose the right laser welder for my dental lab?
Consider the materials you work with, number of operators, component size, required spot size, production volume, chamber access, and the types of repairs or fabrication your technicians perform. Gesswein can help you compare configurations based on your needs and expectations
