Lasers in Dentistry – Minimally Invasive Procedures
Dental lasers are a medical technology that emits a beam of concentrated light. When used for surgical and periodontal procedures, the laser acts as a cutting instrument. The procedures performed with dental lasers are minimally invasive and preferable to conventional surgery.
Lasers in dentistry allow for many procedures to be performed with no noise, minimal pain, less bleeding, faster recovery times, and fewer appointments.

Why Solea?
The majority of hard and soft tissue procedures in our office are done with virtually no anesthesia and soft tissue procedures are done with virtually no bleeding. Blood-free and anesthesia-free procedures represent a major leap forward in dentistry, as we are able to execute multi-quadrant dentistry, fillings on the fly and soft tissue procedures in a single appointment.
What does that mean for our patients? You are now able to receive the care you need in a fraction of the time. When patients have anesthesia they typically leave the office with that numb feeling still prevalent. With Solea, you are able to go right out to lunch or back to work without that numb sensation following your appointment. Solea is truly changing what it means to go to the dentist.

Introduction

[Sound of a traditional dental drill.]
A Change for the Happier
Narrator: But you don't have to fear going to the dentist, because a change for the happier is here. The Solea dental laser is fundamentally changing what it means to go to the dentist.
How Solea Transforms Dental Visits
Narrator: Whether you need a few cavities filled or gum surgery, the Solea laser provides an experience that's fast, quiet, and reliably free of needles, the sound of the drill, blood, and pain for the majority of procedures. And because most procedures don't require anesthesia or multiple appointments, you can get back to your day in minutes — without that numb feeling.
Patient Testimonial — Ruby
Ruby (patient): Every time that I would have to go to the dentist, I would get super nervous, super anxious, even before I'd walk in there. Sometimes I would cry.
Now, knowing the fact that he uses the Solea laser, and I don't have to feel any pain when I get procedures done, and it's going to be a quick experience for me — that's just completely changed the way that I've looked at going to the dentist.
The Solea laser is one of the best things that I think has ever happened to me as far as going to the dentist. I would tell my friends to only go to dentists that had Solea.
