A Stress-Free Experience
Dental fillings are an important part of treating tooth decay. Dr. Lauren knows that the fear of dental work creates uncomfortable kids and parents.
Children already experience dental fear, especially when it comes to treatment that sounds scary or painful. The worst thing that could happen is making their fears a reality, leading to a lifetime of dental anxiety.
Not only does our dental team strive for a family-friendly, comforting, and inviting environment but with our dental technology, we make treatment faster and more comfortable for your child so they do not need to fear going to the dentist or getting the treatment they need.
What To Expect
Your child will wear safety glasses during the procedure. Because your child is not numb, they will feel a sensation like water spray on the tooth, but there is no noise or vibration.
Our team will walk you and your child through each step of the procedure so your child will be more comfortable.
Enhancing Comfort with Solea® Laser Technology
Our office has a Solea® dental laser that replaces the need for anesthesia, drill, and scalpel in most procedures in the dental office. Solea is the first CO2 laser system cleared by the FDA for hard and soft tissue procedures, guided by sophisticated computers to deliver a more comfortable dental procedure experience.
Benefits of the Solea® Laser:
No Need for Sharp Tools or Anesthesia
The laser allows us access to remove cavities without needing the drill, which can cause pain and discomfort.
Comfortable Tissue Vaporization
The Solea laser uses CO2 to vaporize hard and soft tissue in the mouth, including enamel and cavities, more comfortably.
Quick and Minimally Invasive Procedures
It allows us to do lip and tongue tie release procedures in seconds with little-to-no bleeding.
Reduces Dental Fear
By eliminating the most feared aspects of dental procedures, we can help prevent dental anxiety from developing in your child.

What Can the Solea Dental Laser Help Us With?
Dental technology makes a huge difference to the health of your smile and the comfort of treatment. To utilize the laser, you first need to know what dental services can be applied. Some of the treatments we use the Solea® Dental Laser with are:
Fillings
With the help of our Solea® Dental Laser, there is no need for a drill to remove the infection from a cavity—the process will be precise, fast, smooth, and pain-free. Not only will treatment be more accurate but it will eliminate dental anxiety for this service and more to come.
Crowns
Crowns have a very similar treatment plan as fillings except after the decay and infection is removed, the tooth is covered with a crown to ensure strength and protection for your smile. This allows for quicker treatment and the results will be longer lasting than typical treatment without this advanced dental technology.
Gum Procedures
By using laser technology, you can rest assured that your child will not have to worry about the typical difficulties of gum procedures.
One common gum procedure we perform is a gum biopsy. This treatment consists of removing a piece of gum tissue to check for oral cancer, mouth sores, or other issues. With the help of Solea® Dental Laser, this process is quick and easy and allows you to have the piece of mind knowing what is going on with your child’s oral health.
Whether your child needs a gum graft, crown lengthening, or another type of gum procedure, they will receive exceptional, precise, and stress free care.
Frenectomies
Also known as tongue-tie and lip-tie treatment, this is a fairly common procedure for young children and usually requires a pediatric dental office to perform because they are equipped with the proper technology and training to remove the tie. This treatment makes mouth movement easier, allowing for easy feeding.
You may feel overwhelmed when you find out your child has a tongue or lip-tie because you may not have had to deal with it before or know what it is or what steps to take.
These issues occur when the tissue connecting the lip or tongue to the mouth is too short or tight. Instead of turning this service into surgery and cutting the tie, possibly leading to scarring and a long healing period. Our dental office uses laser technology to give quick, lasting, and pain free results that take much less time to heal.
Whether you nurse your child or bottle-feed, removing a tongue or lip-tie will significantly improve your child’s ability to feed which in turn improves their quality of life for years to come.
What This Means for You and Your Child
Especially when going to a pediatric dentistry it is important to consider the comfort of your child’s smile so they feel relaxed during treatment and are not afraid of going to the dentist in the future. Some ways that the Solea® Dental Laser helps accomplish this include:
No Shots.
Probably the #1 fear our patients have when going to the dentist. But with the Solea laser, this fear is a thing of the past. We are able to do routine procedures without the needles. This will help your child feel confident before, during, and after treatment.
Faster Treatments.
You no longer have to sit around waiting for the anesthesia to set in before we start the procedure. With this non-invasive laser, we can get your child through their appointment quickly so they can get on with their day or back to school quicker, without any discomfort and little to no healing time.
Children love to wiggle and get bored fairly quickly, with this faster version of dental care, we can complete treatment before they try to wiggle away, making care more precise and efficient.
Kids Love It.
Well, maybe not love it, but they certainly have much easier dental visits thanks to the Solea laser! And you do not have to worry about them biting their tongues, cheeks or lips after the procedure, which often happens with numbing. This technology decreases dental fear and helps children feel comfortable and confident in going to the dentist.
