SOLEA

A Change for the Happier

The miracle we’ve all been waiting for is here: Solea. Now available to you, Solea is a dental laser that can replace the dental drill in the majority of procedures in our practice. In fact, nearly every patient skips anesthesia because they just don’t need it. Solea is our way of keeping you happy. Because more than anything, we love to see you smile.

What is Solea?

Solea is the first CO2 dental laser system cleared by the FDA for hard and soft tissue procedures. It was developed in Boston, Massachusetts by Convergent Dental, based on research conducted at the University of California School of Dentistry.

Solea offers a unique wavelength guided by sophisticated computers to deliver virtually painless dental procedures for both teeth and gums from simple cavities to complex surgeries. The experience is so unique that you will find it hard to believe you were just at a dental appointment.

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 you, 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.

Diode Laser

Comfortable, preventive, flexible care

We’re pleased to announce that we’ve added a leading-edge laser system to our practice. The Odyssey Diode Laser is very patient-friendly. It provides you with comfortable, preventive, minimally invasive treatment options. It provides us with greater flexibility in administering them.

The term “laser” stands for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation – a device that produces and amplifies light. The Odyssey Diode Laser’s wavelength has been precisely calibrated for soft-tissue applications.

The light can be focused into a tiny point to do very fine, exact work. It is so precise in dental surgery that there isn’t as much tissue swelling and there’s less need for sutures. It is gentle on soft gum tissue and can stop bleeding from even the tiniest blood vessel. The heat from the laser also has a sterilization effect. Many patients report a pleasant anesthetic effect, as the laser seems to desensitize the area being worked on.

We have many uses for our soft tissue laser. We remove diseased gum tissue to prevent gum disease, painlessly remove canker sores, and we can even help cold-sensitive teeth. The laser is also excellent for cosmetic dentistry such as recontouring a “too gummy” smile.

The leading edge technology of the Odyssey Diode Laser is just one more way that we’re making your visits more comfortable while increasing the level of care we provide.
