Solea is a cutting-edge, CO₂ dental laser that delivers precise and virtually painless procedures. It allows Dr. Gould to perform treatments—such as cavity removal or gum contouring—without scalpels and often without local anesthesia, leading to faster healing and heightened patient comfort. This state-of-the-art CO₂ laser enables drill-free, needle-free dentistry. It works by vaporizing soft or hard tissue with pinpoint accuracy and minimal thermal damage.
Dr. Gould uses Solea for procedures like:
- Cavity preparations without the whine of a drill
- Soft tissue surgeries like gum reshaping
- Frenectomies and gingivectomies with reduced bleeding
- Minor surgical interventions with minimal need for sutures
Patients benefit from faster healing, reduced anxiety, and often no need for anesthetic injections.

What is Solea?
Solea is a CO2 dental laser that treats dental disease conservatively and in most cases without the need of a shot. It is precise, quick and a pleasant experience.
What is Solea used for?
Solea is a dental laser that is FDA approved to cut teeth, gums, and bone. This means the doctor can treat most dental procedures such as cavities, gingivectomies, frenectomies, and fibroma removals to name a few. Dr. can perform these procedures reliably blood and anesthesia-free in most cases!
Is Solea better than the dental drill?

Can Solea be used for dental cleanings?
The Solea laser is not a replacement for dental check-ups and does not remove plaque or calculus from teeth.
