Laser Dentistry in Cary, NC

At Signature Smiles, we’re proud to offer the latest in comfortable, modern dental care with Solea® dental laser technology. Whether you're coming in for gum care or soft tissue treatment, laser dentistry in Cary, NC, allows us to treat your smile with unmatched precision, comfort, and convenience—often without the need for anesthesia.

Using the Solea laser, we can effectively treat various dental concerns with reduced noise, vibration, and discomfort compared to traditional tools. It's ideal for patients who feel nervous about dental work or those who simply want the most efficient, gentle experience possible.

What Is the Solea Laser and How Does It Work?

The Solea laser is an advanced, CO₂-based dental laser that uses light energy to precisely remove soft tissue (like gum tissue) or even target bacteria beneath the gumline. This all happens without cutting, stitching, or extended recovery times. It works by vaporizing tissue with pinpoint accuracy, reducing trauma and promoting faster healing.

At Signature Smiles, we primarily use Solea for periodontal care, including gum disease treatment and decontamination of periodontal pockets, allowing us to clean and treat areas that are difficult to reach with traditional tools.

Benefits of Laser Dentistry

Laser dentistry in Cary, NC, genuinely improves the patient experience. Here’s why so many of our patients love it.

Minimally Invasive

Laser treatment is incredibly gentle and often eliminates the need for numbing injections or drills. That means less discomfort during your appointment and no lingering numbness afterward.

Faster Healing

Because dental lasers are so precise, they cause less trauma to surrounding tissues, which leads to quicker recovery and less post-op inflammation or bleeding.

Enhanced Precision

The dental laser allows us to target only the tissue that needs treatment, preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. This is especially helpful in delicate gum procedures.

Quieter Appointments

Laser dentistry doesn't need drills, so there's no vibration or loud noises. For anxious patients, laser dentistry makes for a much calmer and more relaxing visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is laser treatment less painful than traditional methods?

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 anesthesia, 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.”
