How much does a dental CO₂ laser cost per month?

Lease-to-own on the Alexa CO₂ family starts from $799/month (OAC). The monthly varies by configuration and term, and ownership transfers at the end of the term. Request pricing for the Alexa CO₂ Dental configuration in your market.

Is a CO₂ laser better than a diode laser for dental soft tissue?

They are different tissue interactions. CO₂ at 10,600 nm is strongly absorbed by water-rich tissue, giving a cutting-plus-hemostasis pathway distinct from diode wavelengths. For contouring, frenectomy and troughing, where visibility and margin control matter, CO₂ is often the stronger fit. The full comparison is in CO₂ laser vs diode dental laser.

Can Alexa CO₂ Dental be used around implants?

It may support peri-implant soft-tissue workflows because 10,600 nm CO₂ targets water-rich soft tissue with comparatively limited direct absorption by titanium. Implant-related use is parameter-dependent, technique-sensitive and provider-directed.

Does the laser pay for itself on procedures I already do?

That is the model. In the dental payback guide's labelled example — the calculator's default of two frenectomies a week at $500 — one week of procedures exceeds the $799/month entry-point payment. Replace the defaults with your own fee schedule and case counts.

Is training included for the dental team?

Yes. Clinical training, onboarding and ongoing support are included with Alexa CO₂ systems. Soft-tissue laser procedures require appropriate provider training, scope of practice, diagnosis and clinical judgment.

Is the Alexa CO₂ Dental licensed in Canada?

Yes. The Alexa CO₂ platform is Health Canada licensed, and the licence covers the Alexa CO₂ configurations including the dental system. Availability and indications in other jurisdictions vary — ask for the current status in your market.

Who we supply

Dental Laser Equipment

Dental practices source the Alexa CO₂ Dental platform from Laser Equipment Global — a 10,600 nm CO₂ laser configured for oral soft-tissue procedures, supplied direct by the Pro 1 Laser group.

Which dental laser should a practice buy for soft-tissue procedures?

A dental practice buying for soft-tissue work should evaluate a 10,600 nm CO₂ laser first. Alexa CO₂ Dental supports gingivectomy and gingivoplasty, frenectomy, implant uncovering, troughing, operculectomy and selected oral fibroma procedures with hemostatic support, delivered through an articulated arm that reduces reliance on disposable fibre components, from $799/month (OAC).

Service line	What it adds to the practice	Platform
Gingivectomy, gingivoplasty and cosmetic gingival contouring	Keeps smile-design tissue work in the practice and attaches it to the high-value restorative cases you already plan.	Alexa CO₂ Dental
Frenectomy and frenotomy	A procedure routinely referred out, done in a normal appointment slot — the revenue calculator's labelled example bands it at $300–$900 per case.	Alexa CO₂ Dental
Implant uncovering and peri-implant soft tissue	Controlled soft-tissue access around healing abutments for implant practices; parameter-dependent and provider-directed.	Alexa CO₂ Dental
Troughing and restorative access	Cleaner margins for impressions and digital scanning on the crowns and veneers you already deliver, in the same visit.	Alexa CO₂ Dental
Oral fibroma, operculectomy and pediatric soft-tissue procedures	Broadens the laser’s default role so it is used weekly rather than occasionally — adoption breadth is what drives payback.	Alexa CO₂ Dental
SleepTite™ snoring support	A specialty category for airway-aware practices on compatible configurations — a snoring-support protocol, not a treatment for sleep apnea.	Alexa CO₂ Dental

Platforms for a dental practice

Alexa CO₂ Dental — Alexa CO₂ Dental turns soft-tissue dentistry into a service line. One 10,600 nm CO₂ platform supports gingival contouring and smile-design tissue work, frenectomy, implant uncovering, restorative troughing, operculectomy, and oral surgery — with articulated arm beam delivery and hemostatic support that keeps the field clear and the workflow predictable. Lease-to-own from $799/month (OAC).

Monthly figures are lease-to-own entry points and vary by configuration and term — see financing and lease-to-own.

Why this platform set

A dental laser's payback logic is unusual: the procedures that fund it are already in the practice. Every frenectomy sent to the periodontist, every gingivectomy referred to the specialist, every implant uncovering and troughing step is revenue the practice is currently giving away or working around. Alexa CO₂ Dental is bought to keep those fees in-house and to shorten chair time on the soft-tissue steps you already perform.

Wavelength is why CO₂ rather than a diode. 10,600 nm energy is strongly absorbed by water, so water-rich gingiva and mucosa cut and contour with coagulative, hemostatic support that keeps the field clear enough to finish, scan and move on in the same visit. Articulated-arm delivery supports beam quality and power consistency and reduces reliance on disposable fibre components for standard procedures — a cost-of-ownership line most comparisons leave out.

The platform is quoted with clinical training and onboarding for the clinical team, the 18-month warranty and free standard shipping within Canada on a new device. Lease-to-own on the Alexa CO₂ family starts from $799/month (OAC) — in the dental payback guide's labelled example, one default week of frenectomies exceeds the month's entry-point payment.

How to evaluate a platform for a dental practice

Count the referrals. Pull a quarter of frenectomy, gingivectomy and implant-uncovering referrals. Those cases, plus the soft-tissue steps you already perform, are the model's inputs.
Price from your own fee schedule. The laser does not create a new fee code; it lets you keep the fee you were sending out. Run the Alexa CO₂ Dental calculator with your fees and weekly case counts.
Compare wavelengths, not wattage. CO₂ versus diode and CO₂ versus Er:YAG are different tissue interactions. Read both comparisons before a specification sheet decides for you.
Check the consumable line. Ask every vendor what a standard procedure costs in disposable tips or fibres. Articulated-arm CO₂ changes that line; maintenance and output verification remain.
Confirm scope and training. Soft-tissue laser procedures require provider training within your college's scope of practice. Training and onboarding are included; decide who on the team will be trained.
