We get it: Getting a filling isn’t on your list of favorite activities – but at Gallery 57 Dental in NYC, we’re on a mission to change how our patients look at dental care. That all starts with improving comfort. Our state-of-the-art Solea® dental laser is an integral part of our comfort-first approach. Using laser dentistry, we can provide a painless, drill-free experience without anesthesia. Here’s what you should know about using laser dentistry for cavity fillings.
Laser Dentistry for Cavity Fillings, The Easy Way
Millions of Americans delay or avoid necessary dental care, like fillings, because they’re so anxious or fearful about the pain involved. In addition, many people find that dental noises, like the whir of the drill, make their fear even worse. Imagine entering our office and getting your filling without the dreaded sound of a drill or the pinch of an injection. The Solea laser now makes it possible. Most of our patients say the experience is painless.
Using the Solea laser, our dentists remove only the damaged or decayed part of your tooth structure. Your surrounding tooth remains in place. Because the laser operates at a very high frequency (up to 1000 pulses per second), it overpowers pain receptors. Essentially, this means that pain signals never reach your brain.
It’s like a natural analgesic effect, so you don’t need injections before the procedure. No discomfort or numb-mouth sensation afterward, either.
The laser is virtually silent; you never have to hear a drill or feel unnerving vibrations during the filling process.
Beyond Fillings: The Versatility of the Solea Laser
While the Solea laser is fantastic for fillings, its benefits extend beyond hard tissue work. We often use this high-tech laser for gum disease treatment, tissue contouring, and canker sore removal.
Because the laser offers such precision, it means less bleeding, less pain, and faster healing, regardless of the specific procedure.
