A More Comfortable Way To Care For Your Smile

This advanced approach helps us treat a wide range of concerns with less stress, so you can feel more relaxed and confident throughout your visit.

A Gentle Alternative To
Traditional Dental Tools

We use this advanced system to replace the traditional drill for many hard- and soft-tissue procedures, offering a remarkably quiet, relaxing visit.

How We Use Laser Technology

This advanced laser dentistry technology allows us to perform a wide range of everyday procedures with exceptional accuracy. At our Stillwater, MN dental office, we carefully evaluate your needs to determine if the Solea laser is the right fit for your restorative or preventive care.

Gentle Restorative Fillings

For many patients, we can prepare teeth for fillings without the need for traditional drills or local anesthesia. This means you can frequently receive the restorative care you need and immediately return to your normal day without a lingering numb sensation.

Soft Tissue And Gum Care

The laser provides an incredibly gentle approach to treating gum disease, contouring soft tissues, and releasing restricted frenums. It naturally minimizes bleeding and swelling, leading to a much more comfortable, rapid healing process.

Solea Sleep And Snore Therapy

If loud snoring is impacting your rest, we offer a quick, minimally invasive laser treatment to gently tighten the tissues in your airway. This non-surgical application reduces the vibrations that cause snoring, helping you and your partner achieve a better night’s sleep.
