A: Solea is an isotopic CO2 laser that operates at a unique wavelength—9.3 microns—to deliver fast results whether used on gingiva, dentin, enamel, or bone. It produces a very narrow, intense beam of light energy that, when it comes in contact with tissue, is able to remove or reshape that tissue.

A: The majority of hard- and soft-tissue procedures in our office are done with no anesthesia, which we know makes the patient experience that much better.  For the patient, this means you are  able to receive the care you need in a fraction of the time typically needed.  Repairing cavities in all four corners of your mouth in one visit, without pain or numbness, is a common practice here.  Solea allows us to eliminate the discomfort from anesthesia, as well as the uncomfortable noises and vibrations from the drill, that you are accustomed to.  By removing the uncomfortable numb feeling from anesthesia, you can immediately return to work without any hesitation, and children can leave the office without fear of chewing on their numb lip or cheek.  Solea is truly changing what it means to go to the dentist.

A:

Our Solea dental laser lets us deliver virtually anesthesia-free, blood-free, suture-free, and pain-free procedures for both teeth and gums, from simple filling prep to complex surgeries. Over 95% of our procedures we have performed with Solea involved no anesthetic for our patients.

A: With Solea, we can easily prepare a tooth when filling a cavity so you can be in, out, and on with an even healthier day. Solea can be used on hard (enamel and dentin), soft (gums), and osseous (bone) tissue.

A: With our dental laser, Solea, 95% of routine procedures are done without anesthesia. This means less anxiety, less discomfort, and no more “fat lip.”

A: Yes! Solea can be used on children and infants. Treatments like frenectomy procedures, which can be invasive and usually require general anesthesia, can be done quickly, comfortably, and without anesthesia thanks to Solea.

A: Solea is FDA-cleared as a CO2 9.3 micron dental laser—the first of its kind on the market. There are actually fewer risks in using a dental laser like Solea in comparison to traditional dental treatments. There is less potential chance of bacterial infection because laser treatments are so precise, and there is often far less bleeding during surgical procedures.

A:  Yes, it’s actually better for you since we don’t have to inject with you anesthetic for the majority of procedures
