Solea laser dentistry for kids
Often no needles and no drill. Less sound, less pressure, less anxiety — and a much easier story to tell on the ride home.
What is the Solea laser?
Solea is a dental laser that uses a concentrated beam of light to treat both teeth and soft tissue. It works with exceptional precision and often reduces the need for traditional instruments like the drill.
It is also quieter and gentler than conventional tools, which makes for a calmer room and a calmer kid in the chair.
Why parents love it
More comfortable
The laser’s precision often makes treatment easier to sit through, so children stay relaxed.
Faster visits
Many procedures take less time, without cutting corners on care.
Quicker healing
The laser seals tissue as it works, which means less swelling and a faster recovery.
Versatile
From cavity fillings to soft tissue treatments such as a tongue-tie release.

Recovery
Recovery is typically fast and easy. Because the laser seals tissue during the procedure, there is minimal bleeding and swelling, and most children go straight back to their normal day.
After a soft tissue procedure, mild tenderness for a day or two is normal. We send you home with clear aftercare instructions.
