Experience Stress-Free Dentistry with Solea®: No Needles, No Drills, Just Smiles

Solea is a revolutionary dental laser that replaces the drill for most procedures in our practice. Almost every patient can skip anesthesia because it’s simply not needed. With Solea, we’re committed to making your experience comfortable and stress-free—nothing makes us happier than seeing you smile.

Laser Technology Reduces Pain and Healing Time

Dentistry has always benefited from technological advances and using lasers to treat patients is the latest innovation available for certain dental procedures. Laser treatments reduce time spent in the dentist’s chair, reduce pain and healing time, and — for some patients — reduce stress by avoiding traditional drills during dental work.

Laser dentistry involves the use of lasers for dental treatments. As opposed to the traditional drills used by dental professionals, lasers offer a quick way to perform dental procedures with less recovery time for the patient.

All lasers work by delivering energy in the form of focused light. When used for dental procedures, the laser acts as a cutting instrument or a vaporizer of tissue with which it comes in contact. When used for teeth whitening, the laser acts as a heat source, enhancing the effect of tooth-bleaching agents.

Solea is an advanced dental laser technology designed to replace traditional dental drills and anesthesia for many procedures. Using a unique CO2 laser wavelength, Solea can perform precise, virtually painless treatments on both hard and soft tissues, meaning it can be used on teeth and gums alike. This technology allows us to offer faster, more comfortable procedures, often without the need for numbing shots or lengthy recovery times. Solea makes dental visits smoother and more comfortable, transforming the overall experience for our patients.

Solea transforms the dental experience by replacing traditional drills and needles with a state-of-the-art laser that offers painless procedures. Here’s why Solea stands out:

  • Pain-Free Experience: Solea often eliminates the need for anesthesia, as most procedures are comfortable without numbing.
  • Quick and Efficient: The precision of the laser shortens procedure time, meaning fewer appointments and faster visits.
  • Versatile Treatment Options: Solea is effective for both hard and soft tissues, making it suitable for various treatments, from fillings to gum procedures.
  • Minimal Recovery Time: Since Solea is gentler on tissues, there’s typically less swelling and discomfort, allowing you to return to your day quickly.
  • Stress-Free Appointments: Many patients find relaxing easier, knowing there’s no need for needles, drills, or loud noises.

Solea allows us to provide top-quality care faster, easier, and more comfortably, so you can focus on the results, not the process.

Laser dentistry with Solea brings a new level of ease and convenience to dental care. It makes necessary treatments less intimidating and helps patients achieve healthier smiles without the usual stress.

  • Pain-Free Procedures: Solea laser dentistry is virtually painless, often eliminating the need for anesthesia, allowing patients to remain comfortable throughout treatment.
  • No Needles or Drills: For many patients, Solea reduces the anxiety associated with needles and drills, providing a more pleasant dental experience without the discomfort of traditional tools.
  • Faster Treatment Times: Laser precision allows Solea to complete procedures more efficiently, meaning shorter appointment times and fewer visits to the dentist.
  • Minimal Recovery and Downtime: Laser treatment is gentler on tissues, which reduces swelling, bleeding, and discomfort, leading to quicker healing and minimal downtime.
  • Versatility in Procedures: Solea can be used on both hard (teeth) and soft (gum) tissues, making it ideal for a wide range of treatments—from fillings and gum reshaping to more complex surgical procedures.
  • Reduced Risk of Infection: Laser technology sterilizes as it works, lowering the risk of infection and promoting faster recovery.
  • Enhanced Precision: Solea’s precise targeting of affected areas preserves healthy surrounding tissue, making procedures more accurate and effective.
  • Improved Patient Comfort: Many patients find it easier to relax in the dental chair, knowing that Solea makes procedures quieter, smoother, and more comfortable.

 

Laser dentistry with Solea is versatile and can be used for a variety of treatments on both hard and soft tissues, including:

  • Cavity Fillings: Solea can remove decayed tissue precisely and painlessly, often without anesthesia, making fillings more comfortable.
  • Gum Reshaping and Contouring: For patients with uneven gum lines or excess gum tissue, Solea can reshape the gums for a more balanced and aesthetic smile.
  • Frenectomy: Solea can treat issues with the frenum (the small fold of tissue under the tongue or upper lip), a common procedure for children with tongue-tie.
  • Soft Tissue Procedures: Ideal for treating gum disease, Solea can remove infected tissue around the gums with minimal bleeding and faster healing times.
  • Biopsies: Solea can be used to remove small tissue samples for biopsy to check for oral cancer or other abnormalities with precision and minimal discomfort.
  • Gingivectomy: Solea can remove diseased gum tissue for patients with advanced gum disease, supporting a healthier oral environment.
  • Removal of Benign Oral Growths: Solea can safely and comfortably remove benign soft tissue growths like fibromas.
  • Tooth Sensitivity Treatment: Solea can help reduce tooth sensitivity by sealing dentinal tubules, providing long-lasting relief.
  • Root Canal Disinfection: Solea’s laser technology can disinfect the root canal area, improving the effectiveness of root canal therapy.
  • Oral Surgery: Solea can perform minor surgical procedures with greater comfort and precision, often reducing recovery time.

Laser dentistry with Solea makes these procedures faster, more comfortable, and often requires no anesthesia, allowing patients to enjoy a more relaxed dental experience.

 

  • Minimal Discomfort: With Solea’s gentle laser technology, patients often experience minimal pain or discomfort after the procedure. Most don’t require pain medication, though mild over-the-counter options can be used if needed.
  • Reduced Swelling and Bleeding: Laser treatment is less invasive than traditional tools, typically resulting in minimal to no swelling or bleeding. Any mild swelling should resolve quickly.
  • Faster Healing Time: Solea promotes quicker healing, meaning patients can often resume normal activities the same day. Gum tissue usually heals faster with laser dentistry, making recovery time shorter.
  • Temporary Numbness or Sensitivity: Some patients may feel slight numbness or mild sensitivity, particularly if anesthesia was used. This sensation should wear off within a few hours.
  • Dietary Guidelines: Avoid hot, spicy, or crunchy foods for the first 24 hours to allow the treated area to settle. Soft foods and cool liquids are recommended on the day of the procedure.
  • Good Oral Hygiene: Continue with regular brushing and flossing, being gentle around the treated area. Your dentist may recommend a specific mouthwash to aid healing and reduce bacteria.
  • Follow-Up Care: Most patients don’t need a follow-up, but if you experience persistent discomfort, swelling, or sensitivity, contact the dental office for guidance.
  • Improved Comfort and Normal Activity: Unlike traditional dental procedures, patients usually find they can comfortably return to daily activities right away without needing to take extra time off for recovery.

Thanks to Solea’s precision, post-operative care is generally simple and easy, allowing you to return to your routine with minimal downtime.
