What makes Solea special?

As the only 9.3-µm CO2 dental laser, Solea is unlike any other. For starters, it’s the first CO2 laser cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat both hard and soft tissue. And although most dental lasers slowly chip away at tooth structure, Solea’s unique wavelength nears the peak absorption of hydroxyapatite to effectively vaporize enamel. This gives you the power to work from any angle and in any area of the oral cavity with unprecedented speed and ease.

Also unique to Solea all-tissue dental laser is its variable-speed foot pedal, which allows for effortless transitions between cutting enamel, dentin, bone, composite and gingiva; simply press down on the pedal to carve out decay and more gently for bloodless soft-tissue sculpting. Solea’s 9.3- µm beam is optimized by galvos, computer-controlled motors that move mirrors inside the handpiece and direct the beam into patterns of pulses on the target tissue. Galvos ensure precisely delivered energy tailored to the tissue at hand and are key to anesthesia-free dentistry.

In addition, Solea is the only dental laser with a user interface that allows you to select a specific spot size. Rather than focusing and defocusing power and speed as you go, just choose your desired spot size via the touchscreen and Solea does the rest.

How the Solea laser benefits your dental practice and patients

Whether you’re treating natural teeth, replacing old restorations or performing soft- or hard-tissue procedures, Solea gives you everything you need to provide fast, effective, minimally invasive dentistry. Users report that most procedures performed with Solea result in little to no pain, bleeding or postoperative discomfort. They achieve reliable clinical outcomes with remarkably rapid healing.

The Solea all-tissue dental laser also creates avenues for new business opportunities and practice growth. It allows you to treat a cavity discovered in hygiene and perform multiquadrant dentistry in a single visit. And by virtually eliminating bleeding, sutures and postoperative pain, Solea lets you introduce high-value procedures like gingivectomies, frenectomies and flapless crown lengthening to your service mix.

Solea’s benefits extend to patients as well. Without the noise, vibration and overall discomfort of traditional treatment, Solea affords anxious patients peace of mind and makes every appointment a more relaxed experience. In addition, sameday, pain- and anesthesia-free treatment can help attract new patients and improve satisfaction with your care. And because Solea opens the door to new service opportunities, more patients can receive the care they want and need from a single provider they trust.
