Our journey in oral healthcare began with a company called Zap Lasers. Zap was founded in 1998 with the mission of developing and marketing simple and affordable soft-tissue surgical laser systems for dental professionals. In the ensuing 12-years the company became an innovative market leader in dental lasers, accomplishing many industry-firsts including:, The first soft-tissue laser marketed at less than $10,000 in the US, The first soft-tissue laser with a touchscreen display and user interface, The first soft-tissue laser with preset procedure settings, The first soft-tissue laser designed specifically for Orthodontics, The first completely cordless, handheld soft-tissue laser, In 2010 Zap was acquired by a larger dental products manufacturer.
