Experience Stress-Free Treatment With Laser Dentistry in Polson

If you don't like the sights and sounds of the dentist, you no longer have to dread your next appointment. Solea laser technology lets your dentist treat cavities, gum issues, and more without the drill or needle you may have come to dread.

With laser dentistry in Polson, you feel less pressure and vibration. Plus, there's often no need for numbing at all. Your appointment moves faster, too. Procedures that once took a while now happen in less time. Because there's no lingering numbness, you can return to eating, talking, and living your day normally.

If you've been putting off treatment because of fear or a past bad experience, laser treatment might change your mind. Reach out and find out what a calmer visit feels like.

Find Out How Laser Dentistry Benefits a Range of Treatments

A dental laser uses light energy to treat the soft tissues of your mouth with precision and minimal trauma to the treatment area. You'll notice less bleeding and swelling. Since the laser seals nerve endings as it works, you'll feel little to no pain during your procedures.

We use laser dentistry for a wide range of procedures, from restorative care to sleep apnea treatment.

Anesthesia-Free Fillings

Your dentist uses the laser to gently remove decay and prepare the tooth for a filling. It's an anesthesia-free procedure, so you'll leave without lingering numbness.

Periodontal (Gum) Therapy

Laser treatment targets infected gum tissue while leaving healthy tissue in place. This approach reduces bleeding and swelling compared to traditional scaling methods. 

Snoring Treatment

If snoring disrupts your or your partner's sleep, laser therapy can tighten and reshape soft tissue in your throat and soft palate. The treatment is comfortable and involves minimal downtime.

Crown and Bridge Procedures

Laser technology allows your dentist to prepare your teeth for crowns or bridges. We shape to ensure a better-fitting crown or bridge and a smoother recovery.

Tooth Extractions

During extractions, the laser helps minimize bleeding and reduces disturbance to the surrounding tissue. This can mean less swelling and a more comfortable recovery afterward.

Implant Treatment

Laser technology prepares the implant site, supporting a cleaner procedure and better healing. It also helps manage any surrounding gum tissue with less trauma. 

Gum Recontouring

 If you're unhappy with a "gummy" smile, laser treatment reshapes gum tissue precisely and comfortably. You'll see your new smile line right away, with minimal swelling during recovery.

Explore the Other Technology Behind Your Care

Solea's laser equipment isn't the only technology you'll experience at our practice. We also support your care with:

  • Digital X-Rays - Digital X-rays create clearer images using significantly less radiation than traditional film. It gives your dentist a precise view of your teeth and jaw in seconds.
  • CBCT Imaging - This gives us a detailed 3-D scan of your jaw, teeth, and facial structure. Your dentist can plan treatments like implants with greater precision.
  • Digital Scanning - You'll love this quick, comfortable alternative to messy impressions. Digital scanning captures an exact model of your mouth without the goopy trays.
  • In-House Milling and 3-D Printing - We can design and craft dental crowns in our office, often on the same day. You spend less time waiting and make fewer trips to the office.
