Dental anxiety is an uneasy feeling or worry about an upcoming trip to the dentist. If you have it, you’re not alone. Research has shown that between 9% and 12% of American avoid the dentist because of dental anxiety. Fortunately, there is a way to receive the dental treatment you need without feeling anxious. 

Here at Davidson & Burr, we’re pleased to offer solea laser dentistry. It’s a revolutionary technology that allows for more comfortable dental treatments. Let’s dive deeper into what it is and how it works.

What is Solea?

Known as the first C02 dental laser, Solea has been FDA-cleared for a variety of soft tissue dental treatments. It allows our dentist to treat cavities and other issues without drills or needles. Solea eliminates the noise, vibration, pain, and numbness that is often associated with dental visits. Time after time, the Solea laser has led to better experiences and patients for our outcomes. 

We couldn’t be more proud to use Solea technology as less than 1% of dentists are trained to do so. Our dentists are firm believers in ensuring optimal patient comfort and thrilled to do so with this laser. 

How Solea Works?

Solea pairs a beam of light with water to remove damaged areas of the tooth and reshape the gums. If you undergo a treatment that involves the Solea laser, you probably won’t need anesthesia. In the event you do experience any discomfort, it will be minimal and feel like pressure or a cold sensation. Since there won’t be any need for anesthesia and numbing, the Solea will shorten your treatment time. You’ll be in and out of our office faster than usual. 

Benefits of the Solea Laser

There are a wide array of advantages of the Solea laser including:

No Need for Anesthetics 

The Soela laser creates a numbing effect. This means you can receive your treatment without anesthetics or sedation dentistry. Most of the patients who have been treated with Solea have not undergone anesthesia or faced any pain from their procedures. 

Greater Comfort and Easier Recovery

Since the Solea seals your blood vessels and nerve ending, it allows for an easy recovery process. No matter what treatment you undergo, there won’t be any bleeding or stitches. You’ll enjoy a faster healing time and significantly reduce your risk for infection. It’s also important to note that the Solea laser is silent and free of vibrations, allowing you to feel calmer at the dentist. 

Faster Treatment Times

Compared to traditional dentistry methods, the Solea laser completes procedures fairly quickly. It’s incredible preciseness and ease of use makes it possible for dentists to perform multiple treatments in one visit. This is great news if you lead a busy lifestyle and don’t have time to go back and forth to our office.
