Modern dentistry, made even gentler
The Solea laser lets us perform many dental procedures and snoring treatments with little to no discomfort, no numbing injections, and no unnecessary downtime. It's a different kind of dental experience, and once you try it, it's hard to go back.
A more comfortable way to care for your smile
For a lot of people, the worst part of going to the dentist isn't the procedure itself. It's the needle, the numbing, and waiting for it to wear off. At Newark Smiles, we felt the same way about it, which is part of why we invested in the Solea laser.
Solea is an advanced CO2 dental laser that allows us to treat cavities, gum tissue, and even snoring with a level of precision and comfort that traditional tools simply can't match. Many procedures that once required injections can now be completed with no needles at all. For patients who have avoided the dentist out of anxiety or fear, Solea changes the conversation entirely.
Advanced technology that puts your comfort first
Solea uses precise CO2 laser wavelengths to treat teeth and soft tissue without the need for drilling or cutting in most cases. The laser interacts with tissue in a way that naturally minimizes discomfort, which means many patients can skip the injection and get right to the treatment.
It's not just about comfort, though. The precision of laser technology means less disruption to the surrounding tissue, faster healing, and more targeted results. Whether you're here for a filling or a snoring treatment, Solea makes the experience faster, gentler, and easier from start to finish.
The Solea difference, from your first appointment on
Not every practice offers this technology. We do, because we believe every visit should be as comfortable as possible. Here's what that difference looks like.
Less anxiety, more comfort
Solea is that game-changer for patients who have avoided dental care because of fear or bad past experiences. We hear it all the time: this is the first time they've felt relaxed in a dental chair.
Faster appointments
Without the additionally time needed for anesthetic to take effect, many procedures move by quicker. Less time in the chair, meaning more time in your day.
Snoring relief without surgery
Solea Sleep is a non-surgical, in-office snoring solution that can take 10 minutes and requires zero downtime.
Two powerful applications, one remarkable tool
The Solea laser isn't a single-use tool. We use it across a range of treatments to make your experience more comfortable, more precise, and more efficient than traditional methods. Whether you're coming in for routine dental work or looking for relief from snoring, Solea delivers a better experience across the board.
Solea for dentistry
Solea allows us to treat cavities and perform many soft tissue procedures without a drill and often without a needle. The laser removes decay and prepares the tooth with a level of comfort that surprises most first-timers. It's especially popular with patients who have put off dental work because of anxiety or sensitivity.
Solea Sleep for snoring
Did you know that 67% of adults snore? Solea Sleep is a quick, non-invasive laser treatment that addresses the root cause of snoring by gently tightening the soft palate tissue that vibrates during sleep. The entire treatment takes about 10 minutes, requires no anesthesia, and involves no downtime.
Patients often notice improvement after just one session, and results can last for months. It's one of the most patient-friendly snoring solutions available, and it's offered right here in our Newark office.
