Why Solea Laser Dentistry Feels Different
Traditional dental drills create friction, heat, and pressure that can make even routine procedures feel intense. Solea Laser Dentistry uses focused light energy instead, allowing Dr. Diana Craft to work with incredible precision while minimizing trauma to your tissues. The laser vaporizes decay or reshapes soft tissue without the grinding sensation you might expect. Most patients notice less bleeding, less swelling, and faster healing times compared to conventional methods.
What really stands out is how much quieter everything becomes. The high-pitched whirring that makes some people tense up? Gone. The vibration that seems to echo through your jaw? Not an issue with the Solea laser. You might even forget you’re having dental work done.
What We Use Solea Laser Dentistry For
The versatility of the Solea laser means we can handle multiple types of procedures with one advanced tool:
- Treating cavities and placing fillings without the need for traditional drilling in many cases
- Soft tissue procedures like gum contouring, frenectomies, or removing benign lesions
- Periodontal laser therapy to address gum disease and promote healthier tissue
- Non-surgical snoring treatment that targets soft palate tissue to reduce airway obstruction
Because the laser works so efficiently, many treatments that used to require anesthesia can now be completed with little to no numbing. That means no waiting around for your mouth to regain feeling before you can eat, drink, or speak normally. You can schedule a filling during your lunch break and head back to work without anyone noticing.
Less Time, Less Discomfort, Faster Recovery
One of the biggest advantages of Solea Laser Dentistry is how much faster appointments tend to go. The precision of the laser allows for quicker, more controlled work. There’s less need for extensive numbing, which cuts down on prep time. And because the laser is so gentle on surrounding tissue, your recovery is typically smoother and shorter.
Patients who used to dread dental visits often tell us they’re surprised by how manageable everything felt. Some even bring their kids in for laser-assisted treatments because they know it will be easier on them. When you remove the fear factor, dental care becomes something you can actually keep up with instead of avoiding.
A Full-Service Approach to Your Comfort
While the Solea laser handles the technical side of treatment beautifully, we’ve also built an environment designed to put you at ease from the moment you arrive. Our team focuses on clear communication and genuine care, making sure you understand what’s happening at each step. Digital tools like our intraoral camera and iTero scanner give you a real-time view of your oral health, so there are no surprises.

Flexible Options That Fit Your Life

That’s why we offer the CraftCare Membership Club, which simplifies access to cleanings and preventive services without the hassle of traditional insurance. If you’re juggling a busy schedule, you can reach out through our contact form or call to find a time that works for you.
What Happens During Your Visit
When you arrive for a Solea laser procedure, you’ll find the process straightforward and low-stress. After a quick consultation to go over your treatment plan, we get started using the laser for the specific work you need. The focused light does its job efficiently, and in many cases, you won’t need any injections or numbing agents. If you do prefer a little extra comfort, options like nitrous oxide are available.
Because the Solea laser causes minimal tissue trauma, most patients leave without the soreness or swelling that can follow traditional dental work. You might have some minor sensitivity depending on the procedure, but it’s typically short-lived. Many people are back to eating and drinking within an hour or two, which is a far cry from waiting half a day for numbness to wear off.

If you’ve been putting off necessary dental work because you’re dreading the process, Solea Laser Dentistry might be exactly what you need to finally move forward. The combination of advanced technology, skilled hands, and a team that genuinely cares about your experience creates appointments that feel less like obligations and more like taking care of yourself in a way that actually works.
