Learn More About Our Technology Techniques at State Street Smiles
Technology has become an integral part of our daily lives, continuously improving our quality of life. Dentistry is no exception — in fact, it’s an essential part of modern dentistry.
At State Street Smiles, we keep our office equipped with the latest technology for your benefit, which includes laser dentistry using the esteemed Solea Laser. Laser dentistry is an innovative, minimally invasive type of dental care that can treat many dental issues with no pain, no needles, and limited recovery time since no numbing is needed.

What is the Solea Laser?
The Solea Laser is the first CO2 dental laser cleared by the FDA for both hard and soft tissue procedures. Developed in Boston using research from the University of California School of Dentistry, the Solea produces a unique wavelength guided by sophisticated computers to deliver virtually painless dental procedures. This has truly changed the world of dentistry by creating an easy, pain-free dental experience for children and adults alike.
What are the Benefits of Laser Dentistry?
Staying up-to-date on your dental appointments is vital. But for those who are short on time, have sensitive mouths, or fear the dentist, that isn’t always easy. Laser dentistry can make the entire experience easier.
Here are a few benefits of laser dentistry:
- Less pain during dental work.
- Faster healing time.
- Less bleeding.
- No drills or needles.
- Anesthesia (Novocaine) may not be necessary.
- No frozen face.
- Better overall work since lasers are extremely precise.
- A reduction in the risk of virus and bacteria transmission by limiting the number of aerosols and splatter that are created during a procedure, keeping both patients and staff healther.

Laser Tongue and Lip Tie Correction
Laser tongue and lip tie correction, also known as a frenectomy, is frequently done for tongue-tied babies who are having difficulty feeding. The procedure can also be performed on teens and adults who have gum recession or large gaps between the teeth. Using Solea technology, we can perform this procedure with ease with virtually no pain for our youngest patients.
The benefits of a frenectomy can positively affect your child’s health in several ways. Laser tongue and lip tie corrections increase the odds of successful breastfeeding and prevent possible dental problems down the road. In teens and adults, the procedure can improve self-confidence, help reduce pain and discomfort from gum recession, and can improve both bite function and speech function.
