It has a unique wavelength and is computer controlled. The laser is virtually noiseless and eliminates the need for anesthesia. It is precise, fast, and has greatly improved our efficiency in performing your necessary procedures. We are highly trained by the company in the use of this technology.
With Solea, Dr. Kim and his team can cut any tissue, soft or bone, with a single setting, thanks to its new software. There are numerous benefits to the use of this technology, including enhanced comfort and the ability variety of procedures performed without anesthesia.
Additional benefits to Solea laser dentistry include:

What Procedures Can Be Performed with Laser Dentistry?
