Solea laser dentistry
A filling without the needle? Meet Solea.
Solea can make many fillings possible without a numbing shot. For children and adults who worry about injections or the sound of a drill, that can make a real difference.

Less to worry about
Solea uses a carefully controlled beam of laser energy to prepare a tooth for a filling. For suitable treatment, it can replace the traditional drill during cavity preparation and reduce the need for injected anesthetic.
That means less of the vibration and drill noise many people associate with a filling. When no anesthetic is needed, there is no lingering anesthetic numbness afterward.
A different first experience for kids
We want children to build confidence at the dentist. The possibility of a filling without a shot can help make treatment feel more approachable, especially when needles are the biggest worry.
We explain what will happen in a way your child can understand, check their comfort and take the time they need. Solea is one tool we use to support that experience.
Call to arrange your child’s visitThe right approach for your tooth
We examine the tooth first, discuss the options and explain the filling plan. A tooth-colored restoration then replaces the damaged area and is shaped to fit your bite.
Not every cavity can be treated without anesthetic or other instruments. The tooth, the depth of decay and your comfort all matter. If numbing is needed, we will talk with you about it.

Is Solea an option for children?
Yes. Solea has indications for cavity preparation in both adult and pediatric patients. Your child’s dentist will determine whether it fits their treatment needs. Please call to book visits for patients under 21.
Will I definitely avoid a shot?
Many fillings can be completed without a numbing injection, but that is not the right approach for every tooth. We will explain what we recommend and respond to your comfort throughout treatment.
How do I get started?
Call us about your tooth concern or your child’s needs. An exam helps us determine whether a filling is needed and whether Solea is suitable.
