What Is Laser Dentistry and How Does the Solea Model 3 Work?

Laser dentistry uses focused light energy to perform dental procedures with incredible accuracy. The Solea Model 3 is one of the most advanced lasers for soft and hard tissue treatments. It vaporizes tissue gently, minimizing the need for drilling and often eliminating anesthesia, which means a more comfortable experience with less stress for many patients.

What Procedures Can Be Done with Laser Dentistry?

With the Solea laser, we can treat various dental issues, from simple fillings and gum reshaping to more complex procedures like frenectomies or treating gum disease. Laser dentistry is highly versatile, allowing us to perform soft tissue surgeries, remove decay, and even perform some bone procedures with minimal discomfort and recovery time. Patients with dental anxiety often prefer laser treatments for their efficiency and reduced need for traditional tools.

Is Laser Dentistry Safe?

Yes, laser dentistry is very safe when used by a skilled professional. The Solea Model 3 laser is FDA-approved and designed with patient safety in mind. It reduces bleeding and minimizes post-operative swelling, making healing faster and more comfortable. Dr. Aurelia and Dr. Khoury have extensive training in laser techniques to ensure that your procedure is effective and safe.

Will I Need Anesthesia for My Procedure?

One of the greatest advantages of laser dentistry is that anesthesia is often unnecessary, as the Solea laser produces minimal discomfort. Patients frequently experience painless treatment, allowing us to complete procedures quickly and benefiting patients who want to avoid traditional anesthesia’s numbness and recovery time.

How Does Laser Dentistry Improve Recovery Time?

Laser dentistry typically reduces recovery time because it’s minimally invasive. The Solea laser causes less tissue trauma and significantly reduces the risk of infection, which helps your body heal faster. Also, laser-treated areas tend to be less swollen and sore post-treatment so that you can return to normal activities sooner.
