The Power of Solea Laser Dentistry

For many patients, the fear of drills, needles, and numbing shots can make dental visits stressful.

But thanks to Solea Laser technology, we can now perform many treatments without the discomfort or anxiety associated with traditional dental tools.

Solea Laser allows us to complete a wide range of procedures—like fillings, gum reshaping, and root canals—with speed, precision, and virtually no discomfort.

Unlike conventional methods that use pressure, heat, or vibrations, Solea operates with an ultra-fine laser beam, offering a gentler, more efficient dental experience.

So how does this cutting-edge laser actually work?

How Does Solea Laser Work?

Solea Laser is a CO₂ dental laser that uses computer-guided light energy to precisely treat both hard and soft tissues in the mouth.

Unlike traditional tools that rely on pressure or heat, Solea creates an ultra-fine laser beam that vaporizes tissue on contact with incredible accuracy.

This means:

✔ No pressure, vibration, or loud drill noises
✔ Minimized bleeding and swelling for soft tissue treatments
✔ Faster healing and reduced discomfort

Because of its exceptional precision, Solea Laser allows us to perform fillings, gum treatments, and even minor surgical procedures quickly and comfortably—giving Norwalk, IA, and the surrounding area patients a stress-free dental experience.

The Benefits of Solea Laser Treatment

  • Greater comfort – Compared to a dental drill or scalpel, the specially calibrated laser offers a significantly higher level of comfort. The laser doesn’t produce the unsettling noise that a drill might, and the more precise nature of the laser minimizes collateral trauma to nearby teeth and/or oral tissues.
  • No need for anesthesia – The greater precision provided by laser treatment helps minimize the potential discomfort of your procedure. In fact, up to 90% of the treatments we perform using the Solea Laser are performed without the need for local anesthesia.
  • Enhanced precision – The Solea Laser’s minimally invasive nature stems from the enhanced precision it provides when sculpting tooth structure or trimming soft oral tissues. The concentrated, specially calibrated laser can sculpt your tooth or reshape your gum tissues with greater precision, and therefore, more satisfactory results.
  • Reduced risks of infection – In addition to making your treatment more comfortable and precise, the use of our Solea Laser helps make the healing process faster and more convenient. The minimally invasive nature of your procedure means there’s a lower risk of infection or the development of an oral health concern following your treatment.

Courtney Fick

Called Dimples and wish I called them first. Their receptionist was SO kind and SO helpful. Even offered to call to have my records sent to them in hopes to save me some money from doing x rays again. She was nothing but sweet! Got me scheduled within 2 days. Went above and beyond and was kind when I arrived.

Dan and Sara Carlson

Dr. Roos and his staff are incredibly professional, kind, and knowledgeable. Their pricing is also extremely reasonable, even for those without insurance. We had an excellent experience with a dental emergency exam; they also had availability to fit us in for a routine exam and cleaning after the emergency exam.
