How Does Solea® Laser Dentistry Work?

Solea® utilizes advanced laser dentistry technology controlled by computer to precisely and safely vaporize both hard and soft tissues in the mouth, including teeth and gums. This allows for smooth and efficient treatments, ensuring the highest level of care.

Does Insurance Cover Solea®?

Yes, Solea® procedures are generally covered by insurance, similar to traditional dental treatments performed with drills. For more details what is covered by your specific coverage, please contact our office at (818)763-1444

Is Solea® Painless?

Most patients report feeling no discomfort during their Solea® laser dentistry procedure. A few may experience a mild cooling sensation, but overall, the treatment is designed to be as comfortable as possible.

What Dental Procedures Can Solea® Perform?

Solea® is approved for use in a variety of dental procedures involving enamel, soft tissue, and bone. These include cavity fillings, gingivectomies, frenectomies, treatment of aphthous ulcers, fibroma removals, crown lengthenings, and more.

Is Solea® Suitable for Seniors and People with Dental Anxiety?

Absolutely. Solea® is an excellent option for seniors and individuals with dental anxiety, offering a more comfortable and less stressful experience. The minimal pain and faster treatment times make it a better choice for anyone seeking gentle dental care.

Can Solea® Help with Snoring?

Yes, Solea® can treat snoring by using ultra-low laser energy to stiffen the collagen in the soft palate. Snoring is caused in part by vibrations in this area and the Solea® treatment reduces that. Many patients report an immediate improvement in their airway openness following the treatment.

Can Solea® be used safely during pregnancy?

Yes, it’s safer for pregnant patients since anesthetics are usually not needed for most treatments.

Solea® delivers a superior experience by offering faster, more efficient treatment with minimal discomfort. Its nearly silent operation and precise targeting help preserve healthy tissue, leading to quicker recovery.
