Solea Laser Dentistry
Pain‑Free, Needle‑Free Dentistry at Shawano Family Dentistry
At Shawano Family Dentistry, your comfort is at the heart of everything we do. That’s why Dr. Stevens and our team are excited to introduce the Solea® Dental Laser — a breakthrough technology that allows us to perform many treatments without needles, without drills, and often without anesthesia. For many patients, it feels like the future of dentistry has finally arrived.
Whether you’re anxious about dental work, sensitive to traditional numbing, or simply want a faster, more comfortable experience, Solea makes your visit easier from start to finish.
What Is the Solea Laser?
Solea is an advanced CO₂ dental laser that replaces the traditional drill for many common procedures. It works by using a precise beam of light to gently remove tooth structure or soft tissue — all while keeping you comfortable.
Most patients describe the sensation as a light “cool air” feeling. Many don’t feel anything at all.
Benefits of Solea Laser Dentistry
✔ Needle‑Free & Drill‑Free
In most cases, Solea allows us to complete fillings and soft‑tissue treatments without numbing injections. That means no needles, no lingering numbness, and no anxiety about “the shot.”
✔ Pain‑Free Experience
Solea’s laser energy works so gently that patients — including kids — often report feeling no discomfort during treatment.
✔ Faster Appointments
Because we can skip anesthesia, your visit is quicker and more efficient. Many patients can complete multiple treatments in one appointment.
✔ Safe for Kids & Adults
Solea is ideal for children, patients with dental anxiety, and anyone who wants a more comfortable experience.
✔ Minimally Invasive
The laser is incredibly precise, allowing us to preserve more healthy tooth structure and reduce post‑treatment sensitivity.
✔ Reduced Bleeding & Faster Healing
For soft‑tissue procedures, Solea seals as it works, leading to minimal bleeding and quicker recovery.
What Can Solea Treat?
Solea can be used for a wide range of dental procedures, including:
Cavity fillings (without shots or drills)
Gum contouring and soft‑tissue reshaping
Frenectomies (infants, children, and adults)
Cold sore and canker sore treatment
Tongue‑tie and lip‑tie releases
Minor surgical procedures
Removing decay quickly and comfortably
If you’ve ever delayed treatment because of fear or discomfort, Solea can make your visit easier than you ever imagined.

Most patients are excellent candidates for Solea. It’s especially helpful if you:
Feel anxious about dental visits
Dislike needles or numbing
Have a strong gag reflex
Want a faster, more comfortable appointment
