What Is Solea Laser Dentistry?
Laser Dentistry for Kids in Charlotte
Solea is the first CO2 dental laser cleared by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) to treat hard and soft dental tissue. It uses precisely controlled laser energy, allowing a dentist to perform selected procedures differently from traditional methods.
For most treatments, Solea may completely reduce the need for a dental drill or an injection of local anesthetic. Every child and procedure is different, so Dr. Matt will determine whether Solea is an appropriate option for your child.
