What is Solea?
Solea is a breakthrough in dental laser technology, utilizing a unique CO2 laser system that operates at a distinctive 9.3-micron wavelength. Dr. Bell employs this innovative technology to perform procedures on both hard and soft tissue with remarkable precision. The laser's sophisticated computer controls allow for extremely accurate treatment, minimizing the impact on surrounding healthy tissue.
The system works by delivering tiny pulses of light energy to the treatment area, vaporizing targeted tissue while simultaneously promoting natural healing processes. This technology has revolutionized many common dental procedures, from cavity preparations to soft tissue surgeries, making them faster and more comfortable for patients at Bell Family Dentistry in Riverbank, CA.
How is Solea Different From Other Laser Dentistry?
Solea stands apart from traditional dental lasers in several significant ways. While conventional lasers typically focus on either hard or soft tissue applications, Solea's versatile technology handles both effectively. This dual capability means Dr. Bell can seamlessly transition between different types of procedures without switching instruments.
The precision of Solea's computer-guided system surpasses older laser technologies, offering:
- Faster treatment times with reduced chair time
- Minimal or no need for local anesthesia in most procedures
- Superior comfort during treatments
- Reduced recovery time for patients
- Better preservation of healthy tooth structure
- More precise tissue removal with minimal bleeding
Traditional dental lasers often require water cooling systems and produce significant noise, which can increase patient anxiety. In contrast, Solea operates quietly and efficiently, creating a more relaxed environment for patients at our Riverbank, CA, location.

- Virtually no anesthesia
- Virtually no bleeding
- No drilling
- No shots
- Less invasive
- Extremely precise
