Solea (Laser) Dentistry
No-Drill, No-Shot
What is Laser Dentistry?
Solea, our state-of-the-art dental laser, takes the place of the traditional dental drill in most of our procedures. It offers a nearly painless experience with minimal vibration and noise. Remarkably, a significant number of our younger patients opt to forgo anesthesia, as it's often unnecessary. Solea exemplifies our commitment to ensuring your child's comfort.
Solea is the first CO2 dental laser system granted FDA clearance for a spectrum of hard and soft-tissue procedures. The innovative technology harnesses a distinctive laser wavelength that can deliever virtually painless dental procedures for both teeth and gums, from simple cavity prep to gum surgeries like frenectomies.
What does this mean?
Due to the gentle nature of laser treatment, there is minimal bleeding, and in almost every instance, anesthesia becomes unnecessary. This translates to a needle-free experience, much to the delight of our patients! Laser treatment also significantly reduces the risk of infections.
Furthermore, if required, we have the capability to administer comprehensive treatment to every quadrant of the mouth in a single visit. Even our youngest patients seamlessly tolerate to this treatment. And, of course, our team excels in providing clear explanations of the procedure to our little patients, ensuring a relaxed and comfortable experience.
Additionally, Solea laser technology extends its versatility to addressing tongue tie / lip tie in newborns without causing discomfort. Following the frenectomy treatment, babies can immediately resume nursing, further highlighting the gentle and patient-centric approach of Solea.
