SOLEA® Painless Injection Free Dentistry

Solea® is a special type of C02 laser that operates at a unique wavelength (9.3 microns) producing a very narrow, intense beam of light energy to deliver virtually painless dental procedures for both teeth and gums. As such, it is virtually free of the needle and sound of the drill and is highly effective and efficient with faster healing, shorter treatment times and fewer dental visits. Solea painless dentistry is FDA-cleared, and the first of its kind on the market.

Solea® is used to easily prepare a tooth when filling a cavity, so you can be in and out and on with your day in no time. Solea® can be used on hard surfaces like enamel and dentin, soft surfaces like gums, and osseous tissue like bone. The experience is so unique that you will find it hard to believe you were just at a dental appointment.

The Solea® dental laser is virtually pain free! It lets your dental professional deliver virtually anesthesia-free, blood-free, suture-free, and pain-free procedures for teeth and gums, from simple filling preparation, to contouring or reshaping gum tissue. 95% of routine procedures are done without anesthesia, which means less anxiety and discomfort, and no more swollen lips from numbing. Solea Laser is a great option for kids, parents don’t have to worry about their child biting cheeks and lips after a filling as there are no needles and no numbing making their visit to a dentist quick, effective and less stressful.

There are actually far fewer risks in using a dental laser like Solea®, in comparison to traditional dental treatments. Solea helps reduce the risk of virus and bacteria transmission by significantly reducing the amount of splatter and aerosols created during dental procedures. It’s more precise, speeding healing times, increasing comfort and reducing the time it takes to perform procedures. It also eases anxiety by eliminating the need for needles and drills.

You and our dental team will have to wear safety glasses during the procedure. Since you are not numb, you will feel a sensation, but no pain. Patients describe feeling something cold (like ice cream) for a second periodically. The Dental on 8th team will walk you through everything from start to finish, so that you are aware of what is going on without any surprises.
