FAQ

Cosmetic Laser Training FAQ for Dentists

Common questions about cosmetic laser training for dentists.

Yes, in most states dentists can perform cosmetic laser treatments on the face and neck as part of their expanded scope of practice. Many state dental boards have recognized facial aesthetics as within the practice of dentistry. However, regulations vary by state, so it's important to verify your specific state's rules. AAOPM can provide guidance on state-specific requirements.
Our Cosmetic Laser Training Course is completed in 2 days. You'll receive your Certificate of Completion immediately after successfully finishing the hands-on training and didactic components. Most dentists begin offering laser services within weeks of completing training.
Dentists are ideally positioned for facial aesthetics. You already have extensive training in facial anatomy, work in the aesthetic zone daily, and have established patient relationships built on trust. Adding laser services creates new revenue streams, differentiates your practice, increases patient loyalty, and allows you to offer comprehensive facial rejuvenation alongside dental services.
Cosmetic laser treatments offer excellent profit margins. IPL photofacials generate $300-500 per session, laser skin tightening treatments $500-1,500, and comprehensive treatment packages can generate $2,000-5,000 per patient. Many dentists add $100,000+ annually by incorporating laser services into their practice.
Many dental malpractice insurers offer coverage for facial aesthetic procedures including cosmetic laser treatments. You may need to add a rider or endorsement to your existing policy. We recommend contacting your insurance provider to confirm coverage requirements. Your AAOPM certification provides documentation of formal training.
Our training includes hands-on experience with multiple laser platforms including IPL devices, fractional CO2 lasers, Nd:YAG lasers, diode lasers for hair removal, and radiofrequency skin tightening devices. You'll learn principles that apply across all major manufacturer platforms so you can confidently operate any equipment in your practice.
