Dr. Cynthia Copeland, DDS, AIAOMT, and the team at Whole Health Dentistry harness the power of light to support smiles that sparkle their healthy, radiant best. Additionally, the Solea® CO2 laser truly supports our patients’ “whole health” in and around Santa Barbara, California. Dr. Copeland carefully selects each dental technology and treatment to ensure its effectiveness and safety.
Here, we highlight some ways this laser system promotes the best experience at our office, as well as oral and overall health and well-being.
As a noninvasive treatment, the Solea® laser is revolutionizing how we perform procedures for conditions such as cavities, gum disease, wisdom teeth complications, sleep apnea, and tongue ties. Due to the conservative nature of the Solea® laser-assisted treatment, many services and procedures can be done in fewer steps and with just one visit. Treatment is efficient, in part, because we do not have to numb the trouble areas with anesthetic, nor do we have to close incision sites with sutures (for most procedures).
The laser never touches soft or hard tissues. So, many benefits flow from this characteristic. As a gentle technology that is not invasive, the Solea® laser promotes the most comfortable experience “chairside.” The laser device is simply directed toward the targeted tissues or sites. The energy generated by the laser light then “works its magic” to gently and precisely remove and manipulate tissues, sterilize, and encourage healing and tissue regeneration. Patients do not have to worry about their treatment being uncomfortable or painful. Plus, laser-assisted dentistry eliminates the need for many conventional sources of dental fear and anxiety, such as the sights, sounds, sensations, and smells associated with rotary instruments traditionally used for many common dental treatments.
Solea Laser Dentistry Before and After
Due to the targeted nature of the Solea® device, Dr. Copeland only treats those damaged tissues. Otherwise, healthy tissues outside the targeted treatment area are left untouched and intact. This feature supports a safe experience, the best long-term outcomes, and patient satisfaction. Pain, bleeding, and other complications are minimized. Also, the utmost natural and healthy tissue is preserved. It is even appropriate for pediatric patients who tolerate the Solea® well. In fact, this laser technology supports the most pristine and clean treatment or release of tongue-ties and lip-ties, which are relatively common congenital conditions.
You can spend less time in the treatment chair and in recovery and more time enjoying and showing off your new and improved smile. Procedures performed with the Solea® laser device are generally associated with little to no downtime and demands on our patients’ schedules and bodies for recovery. There is really nothing to recover from because of the “light-touch” nature of laser technology. Excessive bleeding, swelling, and discomfort after treatment are minimized. Plus, laser dentistry unlocks your body’s natural healing capacity. When in our talented and qualified dentist’s hands, you enjoy a fast, uneventful recovery and a hassle-free experience at every step.
