At Bella Dental in Oxnard, we use the Solea Laser to perform a wide range of procedures with less discomfort, reduced need for anaesthetic, and shorter recovery times. Laser tech allows us to treat teeth and gums accurately and with precise care.
Laser dentistry uses focused beams of light to perform dental treatments without the need for traditional tools like drills or scalpels. Depending on the procedure, the laser can remove, reshape, or treat soft and hard tissues.
This approach is often used for:
The laser produces energy through light, interacting with the tissue to achieve the desired result. Treatment is typically faster, quieter, and less invasive than conventional methods.
Traditional dental tools involve contact, vibration, or cutting with metal instruments. In contrast, laser dentistry uses light energy to target specific areas without physical contact.
This results in:

Laser dentistry at Bella Dental offers a gentle and precise alternative to traditional procedures. We take time to explain every step and tailor each treatment to your comfort and needs.
Your appointment begins with a full exam and conversation about your symptoms and goals. Your Bella Dental dentist will review your oral health, assess any problem areas, and explain whether laser treatment is suitable.
We’ll answer your questions, explain how the laser works, and help you understand what to expect from the procedure and recovery. If more than one approach is available, we’ll walk you through the choices so you can make a confident decision.
Once we’ve planned your treatment, we’ll begin the procedure in our comfortable treatment room.
The Solea Laser produces a narrow, focused beam of light. We’ll guide the laser over the affected tooth or gum area depending on the treatment. You’ll likely hear a soft sound and feel little to no sensation and no vibration, drilling, or sharp instruments.
Because the laser seals tissue as it works, there is usually minimal bleeding or swelling. You can often complete your treatment without numbing or with only a small amount of local anaesthetic.
Laser procedures are often quicker than traditional treatments, and many patients are surprised by how easy the experience feels.
Recovery from laser treatment is often faster and more comfortable than recovery from traditional procedures. Most patients return to normal activities right away.
