Solea: A One-of-a kind Dental Laser:
What makes Solea so special is its versatility and comfort levels. While other dental laser units treat either hard tissues or soft tissues, Solea’s unique wavelength interacts seamlessly with enamel, dentin, bone and soft tissue, delivering outstanding results without noise, discomfort, or bleeding. Solea is the only 9.3 micron CO2 Laser available on the market. Its mirror system, optimized by Galvos, computer-controlled systems, multiple spot sizes and variable-speed foot pedal allow for different functions depending on the tissues being treated.
How Can Solea Deliver Anesthesia-free Dentistry:
Solea pulses at an astounding rate of 1,000 pulses per second. The gate control theory of pain asserts that non-painful input can close nerve “gates” to painful input, which prevents the sensation of pain from reaching the central nervous system. As Solea vaporizes tissues, it overwhelms pain receptors, preventing pain signals from ever reaching the brain. The result is an analgesic effect that allows dental work to be completed without shots, numbness, or pain.
Why We Love Solea
We feel that Solea is like the magic wand of dentistry! We love it because it helps us do what we do best: provide gentle, high-quality, leading-edge care for child and teen clients. Our families love Solea because it prioritizes comfort and offers exceptional dental experiences. Solea dental laser has simply transformed how we practice dentistry making procedures faster, more comfortable, and more precise.

Precision Sealants:
Sealants are protective coatings placed in the deep grooves of molars to protect these areas from dental decay. These grooves are tiny bottlenecks that trap food debris and bacteria and are impossible to clean. A sealant seals these grooves and creates a smooth surface that is easy to clean and is impermeable to oral bacteria. Removal of biofilm prior to placing a sealant is important for its success. Solea is the most powerful tool in cleansing tooth structures and eliminating biofilm enhancing the success and duration of dental sealants.

FAQs for Solea Laser Experience:
What does a session with Solea entail?
We tell kids and teenagers that our Solea Laser experience is like going to the dental spa! A beam of sunshine paired with a water bath will clean and revitalize their teeth and mouth. They also get to wear “sunglasses”! This analogy is well-received and helps kids associate the session with something familiar and comfortable. Parents are welcome to sit in on the Solea experience and will also be provided with protective eyeglasses.
How does bypassing local anesthesia happen?
We gently walk kids and teens on what to expect during the Solea experience before the visit. Solea has a water mist that helps with cooling. We explain to our clients that they will be feeling vibrations and a cooling sensation on their tooth. During the initial introduction of Solea, we guide our children and teens through these sensations and ask them to report any excessive sensitivity by raising their hand. Mode, speed and technique are carefully calibrated until complete comfort is achieved. In the rare instance where someone remains sensitive to the care, we can introduce a slight amount of local anesthetic using our computerized delivery system, the STA. However, the majority of treatments are completed completely pain-free and anesthesia-free.
Does my child need sedation during Solea care?
This will depend on the treatment needs. In general, we encourage parents to consider the comforts of our sedation suite. Because Solea is such a gentle instrument, nitrous oxide and oxygen inhalation sedation offers a perfect pairing to achieve a super comfortable experience.
How is Solea delivered to the site of treatment?
Solea’s handpiece has a small tip where the laser beam appears. The small beam can be adjusted in size depending on the treatment area and the specific desired outcome. Solea’s beam precision is a dentist’s dream come true!
🦷⏳ Your teeth are time capsules — they record everything you’ve ever eaten.
Inside each tooth lies something like a biological diary. Layers of dentin quietly store minerals, chemical traces, and even signals connected to stress experienced throughout life. Scientists studying teeth can often uncover remarkable clues about a person’s history. 🔬🦷
From a single molar, researchers may identify where someone grew up, what kinds of foods shaped their diet, and even periods when the body faced illness or environmental stress. Teeth develop in layers over time, and those layers preserve microscopic records of life’s experiences. 🌎✨
Every smile carries more than appearance. Hidden within each tooth exists a small biography of health, growth, and the environments that shaped us along the way. 😊

🦷 Did you know losing baby teeth too early can change your child’s smile?
Baby teeth do more than help children chew and speak. They quietly hold space that guides adult teeth into position while supporting balanced jaw development. When a baby tooth is lost too soon, nearby teeth can drift and arches may narrow. Over time this shift may affect bite balance and overall smile development.
At Smiles Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, our founder Dr. Reem focuses on protecting natural growth whenever possible. Our 3D-printed SmileKeeper™ metal-free space maintainer gently preserves that important space after early tooth loss. This modern digital solution supports proper eruption of adult teeth while helping smiles and facial development grow in harmony ✨

✨ Our Founder, Dr. Reem Kabbarah, Shares the Heart and Vision Behind Our Practice 🦷💛
Dr. Reem Kabbarah, founder of Smiles Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, is often asked what truly guides the philosophy of the practice and the care provided to every child and family. 🌸
At the heart of the answer is a commitment to promoting health and well-being. In healthcare, many professionals become focused on solving problems and finding treatments. While those solutions matter, the deeper mission of pediatric dentistry centers on helping children experience the joy of a healthy smile from the very beginning. When children learn that caring for their teeth and mouth supports confidence, comfort, and overall wellness, they begin to see their smile as something valuable they can enjoy and protect throughout life. 😊✨
The goal at Smiles Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics is to empower children and families with knowledge, encouragement, and compassionate care so every child can grow up understanding that enjoying a healthy smile is something they deserve from the start. 🪥🌈

✨ Pediatric dentistry at its core is about guiding a child’s smile as they grow 🦷🌟
Dr. Reem, founder of Smiles Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, shares a thoughtful perspective on treatment planning rooted in innovation, evidence based care, and whole child health.
Children’s smiles are constantly changing. Teeth erupt, spacing shifts, and facial development continues year after year. Pediatric dentistry is not focused on a single moment. It considers how each decision today will influence a child’s future smile and overall wellbeing.
At Smiles, treatment planning blends clinical experience with research and the values of each family. This partnership creates care that feels personal, intentional, and supportive at every stage.
With digital scanning and 3D visualization 🖥️✨, families can better understand what is happening as their child grows. This clarity builds trust 🤝 and helps parents feel more confident in the decisions they make for their child.
Dr. Reem’s philosophy centers on whole child health 🌱 where comfort, emotional experience, and long term wellness matter just as much as clinical outcomes. Because in the end, it is never just about dentistry. It is about the child.

🦷✨ SmileKeeper™ Space Maintainer: Protecting Room for Future Teeth
Some baby molars are far too damaged to keep in a child’s mouth. But removing a baby molar early means that its space needs to be maintained because there is a future permanent tooth developing underneath.

This simple, metal-free and comfortable solution can prevent complex orthodontic treatments later, helping a child’s smile grow beautifully on its own. Early prevention truly creates lifelong confidence.

Did you know brushing alone won’t fix bad breath? 👃🦷✨
Fresh breath starts with gentle care, not harsh routines. Brushing teeth is important, but most odor-causing bacteria actually live on the tongue, not the teeth. Teaching children to gently clean their tongue each day helps remove buildup and supports the mouth’s natural freshness.
Another possible cause of persistent bad breath can be inflamed or enlarged tonsils. If you notice ongoing concerns, checking with your child’s pediatrician can help ensure tonsils are healthy and not contributing to odor.
Healthy habits, gentle guidance, and daily care all work together for happy breathing and confident smiles.
