Solea® Laser Dentistry Mansfield
Top-Quality Technology for Top-Quality Care
Traditional dental instruments, such as scalpels and drills, are effective and useful. However, they can understandably be intimidating for some patients! Plus, they are not as precise nor as comfortable as would be ideal. Thankfully, dental technology is always evolving. Here at Broad Park Family Dentistry in Mansfield, we have invested in the remarkable Solea dental laser. Continue reading below to learn more about how it might change your perception of dental procedures.
What Is the Solea Laser?
A laser is essentially a highly concentrated beam of light. There are a variety of types of wavelengths of lasers. Specifically, the Solea device that we use is a CO2 laser system that can be adapted for various purposes. It has an advanced control system and a suite of other features that make it one of the best-selling laser systems among dental professionals. More and more practices are using it to enhance the care experience of their patients.
What Procedures Can the Solea Laser Be Used For?
The Solea laser can create incisions in both soft and hard tissues in the mouth. Therefore, it may be used in place of scalpels and drills for most routine dental procedures. Here are some common examples:
- As part of gum disease treatment, the laser can remove damaged soft tissues and kill harmful bacteria.
- To treat cavities, the laser can remove decayed tissue from inside areas of decay.
- It can help remove infected pulp during root canal therapy.
- It can be used for various cosmetic purposes.
- And more! If you have questions about the specific applications of the Solea laser, you are welcome to ask our knowledgeable team.
Benefits of Solea Laser Dentistry
Solea laser dentistry offers tons of benefits! Here are some of the most outstanding:
- Reduced discomfort. Unlike regular dental instruments, lasers cause little to no discomfort. In fact, in some cases, our Solea device makes it completely unnecessary to use anesthesia.
- Less bleeding. The laser instantly cauterizes soft tissue as it makes incisions, meaning that little to no bleeding occurs.
- Minimal risk of infection. Lasers are excellent at killing harmful bacteria, meaning that the risk of treatment-related infections is extremely low.
- Faster recovery. Patients tend to heal faster after laser-based treatment (as opposed to treatments performed with traditional instruments).
- Quiet operation. If the sound of a dental drill makes you cringe, you will be happy to know that the Solea laser is very quiet; it only produces a low hum.
- Lasers are extremely precise, meaning that there is little to no damage to nearby healthy tissues.
