About
What is Laser Dentistry?
Laser dentistry makes dental visits easier and more comfortable by providing faster treatments with less discomfort. It helps with tooth decay, gum disease, soft tissue concerns, gum pigmentation, and even snoring. It can also reduce tooth sensitivity and improve airflow by reshaping the soft palate. Discover how our laser dentistry treatments can improve your dental experience.
Key Differences from Traditional Methods:
- Minimally Invasive: Reduces trauma and bleeding.
- Highly Precise: Targets only the affected area.
- Faster Healing: Less swelling and discomfort post-treatment.
Types of Dental Lasers:
- Children and Teens: Less intimidating and more comfortable.
- Busy Professionals: Faster appointments fit into tight schedules.
- Patients with Sensitive Teeth: Gentler procedures reduce discomfort.

Many treatments require little to no anesthesia, reducing discomfort.
Drills and scalpels often require numbing shots, which can cause lingering soreness.
Procedure Speed:
Treatments are up to 75% faster, meaning shorter appointments and fewer visits.
Traditional methods require multiple steps, leading to longer chair time.
Healing & Recovery:
Minimally invasive with reduced swelling, bleeding, and faster healing. Schedule an appointment today.
Can result in extended recovery times, discomfort, and a greater need for post-procedure care.
Precision & Tissue Preservation:
Targets only the affected area, leaving more healthy tooth and gum tissue intact.
Conventional tools can remove excess healthy tissue, causing unnecessary damage.
Dental Fillings:
Laser dentistry for dental fillings removes cavities without the heat, pressure, or vibration of a drill. Many cases require no drilling at all.
Drilling generates friction and heat, which can weaken the tooth and cause discomfort.
Patient Comfort & Anxiety Reduction:
Quiet, vibration-free, and drill-free—perfect for patients with dental anxiety.
Loud drilling, pressure, and vibration can cause stress and discomfort.
Hygiene & Safety:
The laser sterilizes as it works, reducing the risk of infection.
Requires constant sterilization of tools, with a higher risk of bacterial contamination.
Minimally Invasive Procedures:
No stitches, no excessive cutting—just precise, targeted treatment.
Requires incisions and sutures for many procedures, leading to longer recovery.
Soft Tissue Treatments:
Soft tissue treatments can reshape gums, treat gum disease, and remove oral lesions with minimal discomfort.
Often requires scalpels and sutures, leading to more pain and recovery time.
Versatility & Modern Applications:
Used for a wide range of treatments, from fillings to gum lifts and biopsies.
Relies on outdated techniques that can be more invasive and less effective.
Are there side effects with laser treatments?
Laser dental treatments are extremely safe when performed by trained professionals. Side effects are rare but may include minor swelling or temporary sensitivity, which typically resolve quickly. Learn more about our Solea® Laser Dentistry.
What should I know before or after treatment?
Most laser treatments require little to no preparation. After treatment, patients can usually return to their normal routine immediately, with simple aftercare instructions provided by their dentist.
What are common concerns about lasers?
