Is laser treatment less painful than traditional methods?

Laser dentistry is often significantly more comfortable than traditional dental tools, and many of our patients are surprised by how easy their appointments feel with it. At Signature Smiles, we use advanced Solea laser technology and soft tissue lasers for everything from gum treatment to cavity work. Laser dentistry is especially ideal for patients who feel anxious about dental visits.

Why and How We Use Laser Dentistry

Unlike drills and scalpels, lasers are quiet, precise, and minimally invasive. In many cases, there’s little to no need for anaesthesia, which means no numb lips afterward and no waiting for the feeling to come back. Laser dentistry also reduces bleeding, swelling, and healing time, which makes recovery smoother and faster.

Our dentists at Signature Smiles use laser treatment for gum disease therapy, gentle reshaping, small fillings, and more. It’s especially helpful for kids or adults who are sensitive to noise or have a fear of the dental drill. Many of our patients describe Solea treatments as “easy” or even “relaxing.”
