PROCEDURES
Offer your patients a fast, minimally invasive implant experience.
Whether you are placing, uncovering, or restoring implants, Solea® is the right tool for the job. Quickly and safely uncover implants often without the need for injectable anesthetic. Precisely control and recontour tissue to enable excellent emergence profiles, same-day scans and overall better outcomes.1 Effectively debride and detoxify implant surfaces without damaging or significantly affecting implant surface temperature.
“Solea transforms what I do daily. Solea glides through gingiva with control and precision, allowing for unbelievably simple soft tissue surgeries and predictable outcomes. I am blown away by the anesthesia-free and minimally invasive restorative dentistry I can now perform. With this laser, I am ultimately the best dentist I can be.”

Tissue Recontouring For Implant Restoration #3
A 48-year-old male patient presented to the practice with an implant on tooth #3 ready to be restored. The oral evaluation revealed that the tissue was growing over the healing cap on the distal and lingual surfaces. Significant gingival recontouring was completed using Solea in a couple of minutes without injectable anesthetic or bleeding. The clean and blood-free surgical site allowed for an immediate digital impression for the implant crown.
Implant Uncovery On Tooth #4
This patient came in for uncovery of implant #4 and placement of healing cap to ready site for final restoration. This extensive soft tissue case was completed in 15 minutes without topical anesthetic, minimal bleeding, no sutures and excellent healing.
Peri-Implantitis #5
A 70-year-old patient presented for an emergency exam with a chief complaint of pain around the peri-implant tissues of implant #5. The diagnosis was peri-implant disease secondary to occlusal overload. The treatment consisted of debridement, disinfection, and g.b.r in and around the peri-implant tissues of implant #5. By using Solea, the treatment was less invasive and faster than traditional mechanical debridement. Additionally, Solea provided a way to preliminarily disinfect the implant surface without damage.
Tissue Recontouring For Implant Restoration #30
A 77-year-old female patient presented to the practice with an implant on tooth #30, a replacement for a non-ideal previously placed, failed implant. The oral evaluation revealed that there was excess soft tissue on the mesial and mesio-lingual aspect. The tissue coronal to the implant interface was thick and would inhibit proper contours of the crown. Solea enabled virtually blood-free, precise tissue sculpting for a proper emergence profile, and fast patient healing with healthy tissue growth.
