Solea is a dental laser that can be used for many hard and soft tissue procedures, including select cavity treatments and certain gum procedures.
Instead of relying only on traditional dental instruments, Solea uses precise laser energy to remove tooth structure or reshape soft tissue when clinically appropriate. For many patients, this can create a quieter, more comfortable treatment experience.
Your dentist will assess your needs and explain whether Solea is suitable for your procedure.
Reduced Need for Freezing in Many Cases
Depending on the procedure and the patient, Solea may allow certain treatments to be completed without local anaesthetic. This can be appealing for patients who feel anxious about needles or prefer to avoid lingering numbness when possible.
A Quieter Alternative to Traditional Drilling
Solea uses laser technology that may reduce the sound and vibration often associated with traditional dental treatment, helping some patients feel more comfortable during their visit.
No Lingering Numbness
Because many treatments can be performed without freezing, patients can often return to work, school, meals, and daily activities without waiting for numbness to wear off.
An Option for Children and Patients with Dental Anxiety
For some children and patients who feel nervous about dental treatment, Solea may provide a more comfortable treatment experience.
Depending on your individual needs, Solea may be used for:
- Cavity treatment and fillings
- Children’s dental treatment
- Gum contouring
- Soft tissue procedures
- Certain emergency dental treatments
- Laser treatment for tissues that may contribute to snoring
- Supporting improved airflow during sleep for appropriate patients
- Treatment planning that benefits from a laser-assisted approach
During your appointment, we can determine whether Solea is appropriate for your specific treatment needs.
