What Is the Solea Laser?
Solea is an FDA-approved dental laser that uses CO₂ laser energy to perform soft and hard tissue procedures with extraordinary precision. Unlike conventional tools, it vaporizes tissue instead of cutting, which makes it:
- Virtually pain-free
- Needle-free in most cases
- Faster than traditional methods
- Minimally invasive, reducing post-treatment discomfort
Solea is safe for both adults and children, making it a powerful tool in Pediatric Dentistry and more advanced procedures.
What Is Solea Laser Used For?
The Solea Laser can be used for a wide range of dental procedures, including:
Cavity Preparations
Solea removes decay cleanly and quickly, often without any numbing. This means no waiting for anesthesia to wear off and a shorter overall appointment.
Gum Contouring & Soft Tissue Surgery
We use Solea to perform gum reshaping with exceptional accuracy and minimal bleeding, ideal for cosmetic improvements and soft tissue care.
Frenectomies & Tongue-Tie Treatment
Children and infants with tongue or lip ties benefit from Solea’s fast and gentle tissue release — often with minimal recovery time.
Snoring Treatment
Solea is also used for non-invasive snoring relief. The laser tightens soft palate tissue, reducing snoring and improving sleep quality over a series of sessions. Visit our Airway-Focused Treatments page to learn more.

- No needles or drills in most cases
- Fast, quiet, and comfortable appointments
