For many people, the sound of a dental drill is enough to cause anxiety before an appointment even begins. That’s where Solea laser dentistry comes in. At Beausejour Dental Centre, we use Solea laser technology to provide a quieter, more comfortable dental experience — often without needles, drills, or downtime.
For children, anxious patients, and anyone who values modern comfort, Solea is transforming how dental care feels.
What Is Solea Laser Dentistry?
Solea laser dentistry uses a highly precise dental laser instead of traditional drills and scalpels. The laser gently treats both hard and soft tissue, allowing us to perform many procedures with greater comfort and accuracy.
Solea is FDA-cleared and widely recognized as one of the most advanced dental laser systems available today.
Why Patients Love Solea Laser Dentistry
1. Little to no vibration
2. Often no freezing or needles
3. Reduced anxiety
4. Faster healing
5. Less post-treatment discomfort
Many patients are surprised by how easy their appointment feels — especially if they’ve avoided dental care in the past.
How Solea Laser Dentistry Improves Comfort
Comfort is one of the biggest advantages of Solea laser dentistry, and it shows up in several ways.
No Drill Noise or Sensation
Instead of the pressure and vibration of a drill, Solea uses light energy. This eliminates the high-pitched sound and shaking sensation that many people dislike.
Less Need for Anesthesia
In many cases, Solea procedures can be done without freezing. That means:
1. No needles
2. No numb lips or cheeks afterward
3. No waiting for anesthesia to wear off
This is especially helpful for children and patients with dental anxiety.
Gentler on Teeth and Gums
The laser is extremely precise, allowing us to preserve more healthy tooth structure and minimize trauma to surrounding tissue.
What Can Be Treated with Solea Laser Dentistry?
Solea laser dentistry is versatile and can be used for many common procedures, including:
– Filling cavities
– Treating tooth sensitivity
– Gum contouring
– Frenectomies (lip or tongue ties)
– Treating canker sores
– Soft tissue procedures
– Some pediatric dental treatments
Your dentist will let you know if Solea is appropriate for your specific needs.
Why Solea Laser Dentistry Is Ideal for Children
Children often respond especially well to Solea laser treatments.
A Calmer Experience
Kids don’t hear the drill or feel strong pressure, which makes appointments less intimidating.
Fewer Needles
Reducing or eliminating freezing helps kids feel more relaxed and cooperative.
Positive Early Dental Experiences
When children have comfortable visits early on, they’re more likely to maintain good oral health habits as they grow.
Parents frequently tell us how relieved they are to see their child leave an appointment smiling instead of stressed.
How Solea Fits Our Technology-Driven Approach
At Beausejour Dental Centre, we invest in technology that improves patient experience without compromising quality. Solea laser dentistry fits perfectly alongside other advanced services like:
- CEREC same-day crowns
- SureSmile aligners
- Digital imaging and scanning
These tools allow us to provide efficient, precise, and patient-focused care.
What to Expect During a Solea Laser Appointment
If you’ve never experienced laser dentistry, here’s what most appointments look like:
1. Assessment
Your dentist examines the tooth or area being treated and confirms that Solea is the best option.
2. Laser Treatment
The Solea laser is applied gently and precisely. Many patients feel little to no discomfort.
3. Immediate Recovery
Healing is often quicker — and you can usually return to normal activities right away.
Appointments are often shorter, quieter, and far more comfortable than traditional treatments.
Is Solea Laser Dentistry Safe?
Yes. Solea laser dentistry is safe, well-studied, and approved for clinical use. The laser is carefully calibrated for dental applications, and your dentist is trained in its proper use.
As with any treatment, we’ll explain your options and answer questions before proceeding.
