What is new in dental technology?

Are you someone who hates dental visits and hence keeps postponing them because of fear or anxiety over the sound of the dental drill or the use of needles? You are putting yourself at considerable risk as dental checkups and teeth cleaning are essential for maintaining a clean and healthy set of teeth. However, you don't have to worry anymore as the latest dental technology advancements such as Solea laser have enabled replacing the needle, scalpel, and drill in dental offices. 

Read on to know more about Solea laser and its benefits in detail:

• Solea laser

Solea laser is an advanced dental technology that enables dentists to perform laser dental procedures more efficiently and comfortably.

Most laser dentistry systems used in dentistry typically work for only one type of tissue - either gums or bone. In contrast, the Solea laser is the first laser that has clearance from the FDA to use for precise and efficient soft and hard tissue ablation.

What Makes a Solea Laser Stand Out From Other Lasers?

The top differentiators that give Solea laser an edge over other lasers are as follows:

• No requirement for anesthesia
• The accuracy and precision of the instrument
• The speed at which the Solea laser works. 
• Faster recovery

No Requirement for Anesthesia

Most people fear visiting dentists because of the fear and anxiety about a needle, a numb mouth, drool, or the tingling feeling even after the anesthesia wears off. The use of Solea eliminates the need for anesthesia to a considerable extent. As per various studies, with Solea laser, almost 95% of patients report not requiring anesthesia for hard and soft tissue treatments. Thus, Solea laser offers a gentle, comfortable, and convenient method to get dental treatments done, thus helping patients relieve dental anxiety to a great degree. 

The Accuracy and Precision of the Instrument

Compared to traditional water dental lasers, Solea CO2 dental laser makes more precise, accurate, and cleaner cuts in the soft tissue treatments without causing any damage to the surrounding tissues. Furthermore, the use of Solea laser to cut soft tissue causes less disruption to the healthy natural tooth and its enamel. Thus, patients can avoid the pain, discomfort, and probable infection resulting from the harm caused to soft tissue during soft tissue treatments. 

The Speed at Which the Solea Laser Works. 

Solea laser operates faster and quieter than other hard tissue lasers, thanks to its 9.3 µm wavelength that gives more speed and power to enamel and dentin cutting. Besides, with Solea laser, the dentists can perform multiple procedures during one dental visit, thus reducing the overall treatment length that may span across days otherwise. 

Faster Recovery

Since procedures done using Solea laser are pain-free, anesthesia-free, and blood-free, patients can leave the office soon after the procedure and return to their regular chores without any uncomfortable, numb sensation.
