We are excited to announce that Brighter Smiles Dental is one of the first dental offices in the province of New Brunswick to be using a Solea Laser. This technology virtually eliminates or minimizes the need for local anesthetic injections and using a drill for dental fillings (in most cases).
Now available to you, Solea is a powerful dental laser that replaces the dental drill in the majority of procedures in our practice. It’s the miracle we’ve both been waiting for. It causes virtually no pain, vibration or noise. In fact, nearly every patient skips anesthesia because they just don’t need it. Solea is our way of keeping you happy. Because more than anything, we love to see you smile
WHAT IS THE SOLEA LASER?
Solea is the first CO2 dental laser system cleared by the FDA and CDA for hard and soft tissue procedures. It was developed in Boston, MA by Convergent Dental, based on research conducted at the University of California School of Dentistry. Solea offers a unique wavelength guided by sophisticated computers to deliver virtually painless dental procedures for both teeth and gums from simple cavities to complex surgeries. Not only is the laser virtually painless, it is also vibration-less and noiseless. The experience is so unique that you will find it hard to believe you were just at a dental appointment.
WHY SOLEA?
The majority of hard and soft tissue procedures in our office are done with no anesthesia and soft tissue procedures are done with virtually minimal to no bleeding. Blood-free and anesthesia-free procedures represent a major leap forward in dentistry, as we are able to execute multi-quadrant dentistry, fillings on the fly and soft tissue procedures in a single appointment. What does that mean for you, our patients? Solea is also far less invasive than using a traditional drill, which makes healing time following a procedure much shorter. When patients have anesthesia they typically leave the office with that numb feeling still prevalent. With Solea, adults and children will be able to leave our office without that numb sensation following the appointment. Solea is truly changing what it means to go to the dentist.
