Aurora Sky Dental is proud to share exciting news with Regina and surrounding communities, we are now the second dental office in Regina, Saskatchewan to offer Solea® laser dentistry, and the only dental clinic in Regina with the Solea Sleep™ application for snoring treatment.

For patients in Regina, White City, Emerald Park, Pilot Butte, Balgonie and across Southern Saskatchewan, this means you now have a dental option for needle-free dentistry, shot-free dentistry, and a more comfortable, modern dental experience thanks to:

No more needles. Less noise. Less anxiety. Faster healing.

Under the leadership of Dr. Ravi Patel, Aurora Sky Dental continues to invest in advanced dental technology to provide a more comfortable, efficient, and modern patient experience.

What Is the Solea® Dental Laser?

The Solea® laser is an advanced CO2 dental laser system designed to treat both hard tissue (teeth and bone) and soft tissue (gums) using a precise, computer-guided wavelength.

Unlike traditional dental tools that rely on:

  • High-speed drills
  • Scalpels
  • Sutures
  • And local anesthetic injections

Solea uses a highly concentrated beam of light energy to perform procedures with remarkable precision. It is the first laser approved for both hard and soft tissue procedures, meaning it can treat:

  • Cavity removal and fillings
  • Soft tissue contouring
  • Gum reshaping
  • Frenectomies
  • Crown and onlay preparation
  • Gum disease treatment
  • Snoring reduction with Solea Sleep
  • Pediatric dental procedures

At Aurora Sky Dental in Regina, Solea is transforming how we approach everyday dentistry.

Needle-Free, Shot-Free & Anesthesia-Free Dentistry in Regina

One of the most exciting benefits of Solea laser dentistry is that most procedures can be completed without anesthesia.

  • No freezing
  • No lingering numbness
  • No “fat lip” feeling
  • No anxiety around needles

For many patients in Regina and White City who avoid the dentist because they’re scared of needles at the dentist or who experience fear of dental injections, this is a complete game-changer.

Because the laser works differently than a mechanical drill, it stimulates less nerve response. In most cases, patients experience little to no discomfort during treatment, especially for fillings and soft tissue procedures.

After treatment?
You can go right back to work, your child can return to school, and there is no waiting hours for numbness to wear off.

 Solea® for Children & Families

As a family-focused dental office serving Regina, Emerald Park, Pilot Butte, and Balgonie, we know how common dental anxiety is. For children, and frankly even adults, it isn’t just the sound of the drill, it’s a genuine fear of needles at the dentist that creates anxiety around appointments.

With Solea:

  • There is no high-pitched drill noise
  • No needles for most procedures
  • Minimal bleeding
  • Faster procedures
  • Predictable healing

For pediatric patients, this often means a completely different perception of what going to the dentist feels like. Instead of associating dental visits with sounds, pain, and discomfort, children experience a quieter, gentler approach that feels far less intimidating. At Aurora Sky Dental in Regina, we are especially excited to use Solea laser technology for pediatric cavity removal, soft tissue procedures, infant frenectomy procedures, pediatric frenectomies, and other soft tissue treatments for children. In addition to treating all young patients who struggle with dental anxiety. 

By making these procedures more comfortable and efficient, Dr. Ravi Patel and our team help children build confidence in dental care early, setting the foundation for a lifetime of healthy, stress-free smiles.

Infant Frenectomy & Tongue-Tie Treatment in Regina with Solea Laser

A frenectomy is a procedure that releases tight tissue attachments in the mouth, commonly referred to as a tongue-tie (ankyloglossia) or lip-tie

Traditionally, frenectomies required:

  • Local anesthesia
  • Scalpels
  • Sutures
  • Post-operative bleeding

With the Solea laser, infant frenectomies and tongue-tie procedures can often be performed quickly and with remarkable precision, resulting in little to no bleeding and typically eliminating the need for sutures. Because the laser cauterizes as it works, patients experience minimal discomfort, and in many cases, the procedure can be completed without anesthesia. 

For parents, this means a significantly more comfortable and less stressful experience for infants, children, and even those adults who require frenectomy treatment at Aurora Sky Dental.

How Solea Laser Dentistry Compares to Traditional Dentistry

Traditional dentistry has relied on mechanical tools for decades. Drills, scalpels, sutures, and injections have long been part of routine care. While effective, these methods often increase anxiety, extend recovery time, and require additional appointments.

Solea laser dentistry at Aurora Sky Dental represents a significant advancement in modern laser dentistry and how dental procedures are performed in Regina. With Solea, many procedures offer:

Gentle Incisions
The laser cauterizes as it works. This precision helps protect surrounding tissue and contributes to a cleaner, more controlled treatment experience.

Faster Healing
With less disruption and trauma to surrounding tissue, patients typically experience reduced swelling and a quicker overall recovery.

Shorter Appointments
Many procedures to be completed in a single visit. Patients can often return to work, school, or daily activities immediately after their appointment.

Reduced Infection Risk
The laser sterilizes as it cuts. This reduces bacteria at the surgical site and helps lower the risk of post-procedure infection while promoting a healthier healing environment.

Return to Normalcy

Patients no longer leave the dental office with lingering numbness, difficulty speaking, or that heavy, frozen sensation.

Less Anxiety
Without the sound of a drill or the anticipation of a needle, dental visits feel very different. Creating a calmer, more comfortable experience.

For patients who have avoided the dentist due to fear of needles, dental injections or drills, Solea offers a dramatically different experience.

Is Solea® Laser Dentistry Safe?

Yes.

Solea is approved for dental procedures and has been widely adopted across North America. It does not emit harmful radiation. Patients wear protective eyewear during treatment, and the system is guided by advanced computer programming to ensure precision and safety.

Because Solea allows for anesthesia-free dentistry in many routine procedures, patients can experience advanced care with fewer traditional dental interventions.

At Aurora Sky Dental in Regina, patient safety is always our highest priority and Dr. Ravi Patel has been trained at the highest level to ensure this is the case.

Why Aurora Sky Dental Invested in Solea®

Dr. Ravi Patel and our entire team are committed to reducing dental anxiety, improving patient comfort, offering innovative treatment option and leading-edge technology.

Frequently Asked Questions about Laser Dentistry

Does Solea laser dentistry hurt?

Most patients report little to no discomfort during Solea laser procedures. Because the laser works differently than a traditional drill, many treatments can be completed without freezing. For patients who are scared of dental needles or anxious about injections, Solea often feels like a completely different experience.

How does Solea make needle-free or shot-free dentistry possible?

Solea makes needle-free and shot-free dentistry possible because it works differently than traditional drills. The CO2 laser uses a precise wavelength that interacts with tooth and gum tissue in a way that minimizes nerve stimulation. In many routine procedures, this means patients do not experience the sharp sensation that would normally require local anesthesia.

Because the laser is highly controlled and computer-guided, it can treat both hard and soft tissue with remarkable accuracy while reducing discomfort. Although every case is unique and some procedures may still require anesthesia, a large percentage of treatments can be completed without injections, making anesthesia-free dentistry a reality for many patients in Regina.

Is Solea laser dentistry safe for children?

Yes. Solea laser dentistry is considered safe for children and is especially beneficial for young patients who experience dental anxiety or fear of needles. The Solea CO2 laser is computer-guided and highly precise, allowing Dr. Ravi Patel to treat both teeth and soft tissue with minimal disruption to surrounding areas. 

The Solea dental laser does not expose patients to harmful radiation, and it does not leave any lasting systemic effects. Solea uses a highly controlled beam of light energy to treat specific areas of the tooth or gum with precision. It is not the same as ionizing radiation (like X-rays), and it does not remain in the body after treatment.
