The Solea all-tissue dental laser by convergent dental is an advanced CO₂ laser system that allows for precise, comfortable, anesthesia-free dental treatments. Unlike traditional dentistry, which often require drills, needles, and anesthesia numbness, Solea offers a high-tech, pain-free, minimally invasive alternative that is simultaneously efficient and gentle. FDA-approved for both hard tissue and soft tissue procedures, Solea’s transformative approach addresses a multitude of dental needs, making it one of the most versatile and innovative tools in modern dentistry.

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.

1
Prevention:
Solea possess healing properties that benefits soft and hard tissues. Solea can heal superficial caries and enamel defects by acting on the hydroxyapatite structure which is enhanced when exposed to Solea. Solea also has a photobiomodulation effect on the dental pulp increasing blood supply and healing capacity.

2
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!

Teeth form in layers over time 🦷🌿
As teeth develop, they build layer by layer, similar to growth rings.
These layers can reflect stages of development and give insight into how teeth formed. Changes in tooth development can affect the final formation of the tooth in either shape or hardness, something we would like to address as early as a tooth begins erupting into the mouth.
This is one of the reasons dental checkups are so important during childhood.
At Smiles Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we focus on early detection and gentle guidance to support healthy development ✨

Saliva does more than keep the mouth comfortable 💧🦷
It contains calcium and phosphate, natural minerals that help repair and strengthen early areas of enamel before damage progresses.
This process, called remineralization, supports the teeth throughout the day in a quiet and continuous way.
When the mouth has time to rest between eating, saliva can work more effectively to restore balance.
Simple habits like staying well hydrated and allowing breaks between snacks can support this natural protection.
At Smiles Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we focus on supporting the body’s natural ability to care for and protect your child’s smile ✨

Molars are where cavities most often begin 🦷🍬
Molars have deep grooves and pits designed to help grind food.
But those same grooves can trap food particles and bacteria, making them harder to clean.
Even with brushing, those tiny grooves can hold onto plaque longer than smoother surfaces.
That’s why molars are more cavity-prone, especially in children.
Dental sealants help protect these areas by sealing the grooves and blocking bacteria from settling in ✨
At Smiles Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we focus on protecting these high-risk areas early 🌿

Teeth can last for thousands of years 🦷⏳
Because enamel is highly mineralized, it can remain long after other parts of the body have broken down. Scientists have discovered teeth that are over a million years old.
This is one of the reasons teeth are studied to understand early human life and environments 🌍
That same natural strength protects your child’s smile every day with the right care and support.
Here are three simple things to help your child’s teeth to last
• Creating consistent gentle brushing routines morning and night
• Offering foods like cheese after meals to help neutralize acids and support enamel
• Encouraging water throughout the day and keeping regular dental checkups
At Smiles Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we focus on preserving that strength through thoughtful preventive care at every stage of growth ✨
Our team is here to support your child’s smile with warmth, clarity, and guidance

Teeth follow a timeline 🦷⏳
Each tooth erupts at a general stage of development, creating a pattern dentists can read.
By looking at which teeth are present and how they’re developing, we can estimate age and monitor growth.
This helps us identify early changes, spacing concerns, or delays in development 🌿
It’s one of the ways pediatric dentistry focuses on prevention before problems begin.
At Smiles Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we use these patterns to guide healthy growth and support every stage of development ✨

Spacing between baby teeth is a healthy and important part of development 🦷✨
These natural gaps allow room for larger adult teeth to come in comfortably. When space is lost too early, nearby teeth can begin to shift.
🦷✨ SmileKeeper™ Space Maintainer
When a baby molar cannot be saved and is removed early, maintaining that space helps protect the path for the future permanent tooth underneath.
Our 3D printed metal free SmileKeeper™ gently preserves that space while supporting natural jaw growth.
This simple step can help prevent more complex orthodontic needs later on 🌿

Baby teeth are naturally whiter than adult teeth 🦷✨
That bright, milky-white color isn’t just cosmetic — it reflects how baby teeth are structured.
Baby teeth have thinner enamel and less dentin underneath, which allows more light to reflect off the surface.
Adult teeth contain more dentin, which has a naturally warmer tone, giving them a slightly yellow appearance 🌼
This difference is completely normal and helps dentists track development as children grow.
At Smiles Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we monitor these transitions closely to support healthy, natural development 🌿
