Lasers in Dentistry – Minimally Invasive Procedures
Lasers have revolutionized the field of dentistry and our practice is proud to offer these state-of-the-art treatment options. If drills and needles cause you to have anxiety about dental visits, you’ll be glad to know that lasers can eliminate the need for both. Dr. Dennis uses a variety of lasers for increased comfort and to improve your overall treatment outcome.
Some of the benefits of laser dentistry include:
● Reduced vibration and heat
● Need for anesthetic is reduced or eliminated
● Procedures take less time
● Minimal tissue damage and bleeding
● Recovery is easier and faster, with minimal swelling and discomfort
● Fewer infections and post-operative complications
Some additional benefits lasers have over traditional methods include:
Lasers have numerous functions in dentistry including:
Why Solea?
The majority of hard and soft tissue procedures in our office are done with virtually no anesthesia and soft tissue procedures are done with virtually no bleeding. Blood-free and anesthesia-free procedures represent a major leap forward in dentistry, as we are able to execute multi-quadrant dentistry, fillings on the fly and soft tissue procedures in a single appointment.
What does that mean for our patients? You are now able to receive the care you need in a fraction of the time. When patients have anesthesia they typically leave the office with that numb feeling still prevalent. With Solea, you are able to go right out to lunch or back to work without that numb sensation following your appointment. Solea is truly changing what it means to go to the dentist.

Laser Benefits
Laser Dental Treatments
The miracle we’ve both been waiting for is here: Solea. Now available to you, Solea is a dental laser that replaces the dental drill in the majority of procedures in our practice. In fact, nearly every patient skips anesthesia because they just don’t need it. Solea is our way of keeping you happy. Because more than anything, we love to see you smile.
Solea is the first CO2 dental laser system cleared by the FDA for hard and soft tissue procedures. It was developed in Boston, Massachusetts by Convergent Dental, based on research conducted at the University of California School of Dentistry. Solea offers a unique wavelength guided by sophisticated computers to deliver virtually painless dental procedures for both teeth and gums from simple cavities to complex surgeries. The experience is so unique that you will find it hard to believe you were just at a dental appointment.

Biolase® Waterlase Laser
Waterlase® is an advanced surgical laser manufactured by Biolase® that combines a YSGG laser and water spray. With this dental laser, Dr. Dennis can perform many dental procedures without a drill—which means no noise, very little pain, and fewer office visits. Unlike drills, which create loud noises, vibration, and friction, lasers do not touch the surface of the tooth. This reduces the need for local anesthesia, the risk of infection, and post-operative swelling.
