what is Solea?

Solea is a cutting-edge dental laser technology that is revolutionizing dental practices by replacing the needle, drill, and scalpel. It is suitable for patients of all ages and a variety of procedures, often eliminating the need for anesthetic.

​

Solea works on all tissues, including enamel, dentin, decay, gingiva, and bone. It is fast, precise, and typically anesthesia-free for any cavity preparation, and blood- and suture-free for most soft tissue surgeries. Solea is effective for all cavity classifications and sizes, providing a quicker, more comfortable patient experience than traditional drills. Solea helps eliminate patient anxiety by removing the need for needles and drills, and enables efficient frenectomies, even on young patients, often without local anesthetic.

 

While no dental procedure is entirely risk-free, Solea offers fewer risks compared to traditional dental tools. The laser is precise and reduces bleeding and lowers the risk of infection. It also safely facilitates implant placement, uncovering, and restoration. Solea offers unparalleled control over procedures, creating beautiful smiles with ease.

​

Solea cuts enamel (teeth), soft tissue (gum), and bone. Some procedures include, but are not limited to:

• cavities

• gingivectomies

Frequently Asked Questions​

Is Solea pain-free? ​

Most patients report feeling nothing during their dental procedure with Solea, while some experience a mild sensation of cold. 

Is Solea good for kids?

Solea is ideal for kids because it's faster and most procedures are done without a shot, drill, or pain. Without the need for anesthesia, multiple procedures can be completed in one visit, reducing time spent at the dentist. Children can return to school or eat immediately after their appointment since they won't leave with a numb feeling.
