How Does It Work?
The Solea laser uses a CO2 laser that emits a precise and controlled beam of light. Instead of using a noisy drill the dentist uses this light to work on your child’s teeth and gums. The light is very precise, so it only touches the part of the tooth that needs to be treated.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it hurt?
The best part about laser dentistry is that it usually doesn’t hurt! Most treatments can be done without needles or numbing shots, which means no pain from injections. The laser is gentle and works quickly, making your visit much more comfortable
Is it safe?
Yes, the laser is very safe! It’s designed to be gentle on your teeth and gums. The laser is carefully controlled by the dentist, and it only treats the area that needs attention. It’s also much less invasive than some traditional dental methods.
Do I need to be numbed for the procedure?
In many cases, you don’t need to be numbed! The laser works so precisely that it can often treat teeth and gums without making your mouth feel numb. However, if the treatment area is very sensitive, Dr Ranjan may choose to numb it just in case.
Are there any side effects?
Because the laser is so precise and gentle, side effects are very rare. Most patients experience very little discomfort, and any minor swelling or redness usually goes away quickly. Your Dr Ranjan and his team will give you care instructions to help ensure a smooth recovery.
