Solea® Needle-Free Dentistry in Austin, TX

Technology makes everyday life easier in so many ways, and advancements in dentistry are no exception. When Dr. Sheila Farahani discovers techniques and technology that make a procedure more precise and comfortable for patients, she takes notice. Solea laser dentistry is one of the newest ways we have advanced the quality of the dental care we provide in our Austin dental office.

What Is Solea Laser Dentistry?

Solea is an American-made and -tested, FDA-approved, CO2 laser device that is reliable for a variety of tooth and gum procedures. Rather than drills and traditional surgeries, laser dentistry uses light energy to get the job done with less downtime and faster healing.

As one of the most advanced lasers, Solea gives your dentist more control than ever before. What does that mean for you? Our patients enjoy anxiety-free, gentle dentistry for everything from fillings to advanced gum surgeries.

Why Should I Choose Solea?

As an alternative to the dental drill, the Solea laser is quiet, produces no vibration, and dramatically reduces or eliminates discomfort. Many patients have such a pain-free experience with Solea that they skip the anesthesia altogether. That means no more waiting for numbing to take effect or to wear off!

Dr. Farahani has undergone advanced training to deliver the highest-quality modern laser dentistry available today, right here at Harmony Dental Wellness. She provides precise dental treatments that are more conservative and leave more healthy tissue intact. A tooth that has been prepared with a laser creates a stronger bond than one prepared with a drill. Laser dentistry makes it possible to avoid stitches for most surgeries, which makes healing much easier and more comfortable.

Common Laser Dentistry Procedures

Solea addresses both soft tissue and tooth procedures, including:

Cavities and fillings
Frenectomy and tongue-tie surgeries
Cosmetic gum contouring and reshaping (gingival sculpting)
Oral surgery procedures

If you’ve recently been diagnosed with gum disease and need surgery, or if you are looking for cosmetic solutions to reduce a gummy smile, Solea may be the answer.

Better, Faster Dentistry with the Solea Laser

Families today are busy, and fitting multiple dental appointments into your hectic schedule can be a challenge. Not only does laser dentistry reduce the time you spend in the dental chair, but it can also mean fewer dental appointments overall.

Safe and Comfortable Laser Dentistry Options

Our office uses a Solea Laser for some procedures for your comfort and convenience. The laser is perfectly safe for your body. It uses CO₂ to make a focused beam of light to remove tooth structure or to treat the gum tissue needed. The focus of the laser is extremely precise and does not effect the surrounding tissues! Due to the nature of the type of laser we use, the tooth and gums are numbed by the laser! There is no need for needles, anesthetic, drills or stitches. The numbing only lasts for about 10 minutes so you can go on with your day without any lasting numbness. The result is simple:

Our Solea Laser can be used to treat cavities, ulcers, tongue-ties, nodules, excess gum tissue and many other types of dental treatments. Call us with any questions you have or to make an appointment. (512) 346-1212

Do you offer Virtual Visits or Teledentistry?

Of course we do! Dr. Farahani uses virtual dental appointments to reduce the number of times patients need to come to the office. Using either photographs or video chats, Dr. Farahani is able to help answer questions or give guidance to patients. This is especially useful for patients going through Invisalign clear aligner therapy. Where as we usually see these patients every 6 weeks, we can reduce those visits to every 10 weeks or even longer between visits! Feel free to ask if Virtual Care is right for you.
