What are the patient benefits of Solea?

Solea delivers an entirely different experience for our patients. Imagine a dentist visit with no needles, no numbness, no noise, no pain.

Even the most fearful patients leave feeling relaxed and comfortable.

Visits are shorter because patients don’t have to spend time in the chair waiting to get numb.

More work in a single appointment, which means fewer visits to my office, less time away from work for adults, less time away from school for kids.

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.
The experience is so unique that you will find it hard to believe you were just at a dental appointment.

Would you like to spend less time at the Dentist?

🪥Proper dental care is necessary for maintainin

🪥Proper dental care is necessary for maintaining good oral health. Here are some tips to keep your teeth and gums healthy:

🔷Brush your teeth twice a day using a fluoride toothpaste.
🔷Use a soft-bristled brush and brush for at least two minutes.
🔷Floss at least twice a day to remove plaque and food particles from between your teeth and under the gumline.
🔷Use mouthwash to kill bacteria and freshen your breath.
🔷Avoid sugary and acidic foods and drinks that can cause cavities.
🔷Visit your dentist regularly for checkups and cleanings. This can help detect any dental problems early on and prevent them from getting worse.

🦷Remember to take care of your teeth and gums to maintain a healthy smile for years to come!
