Needle-Free Treatment
In many cases, Solea eliminates the need for numbing shots entirely. This makes visits faster, less intimidating, and easier for kids to tolerate.

At Sprout Dentistry for Kids of Allen, we’re proud to offer advanced laser technology that makes dental visits easier, gentler, and more comfortable for children. Whether it’s a cavity filling, a soft tissue procedure, or bacterial reduction, laser dentistry helps us treat kids with less anxiety, faster healing, and fewer interruptions to their day.

Laser dentistry uses focused light energy to treat both hard and soft tissues in the mouth — without drills, blades, or sutures. At Sprout, we use the Solea CO₂ laser, the first FDA-approved system for treating enamel, gums, and even bone. Its precision, speed, and ability to reduce discomfort make it ideal for pediatric care. Most procedures can be completed without anesthesia, and patients rarely feel anything more than a cooling sensation.

The laser sterilizes and seals as it works, minimizing bleeding and promoting quicker recovery. That means fewer complications and less downtime.
With little to no vibration, pressure, or sound, laser dentistry feels much gentler than traditional techniques. This helps build trust and reduce dental fear — especially in young or sensitive patients.
If your child needs treatment, we’re here to help make it as smooth and stress-free as possible. Call today to learn more about our laser services and schedule a visit.
Solea makes treating cavities more comfortable than ever. The laser’s light energy removes decay without physical contact, vibration, or pressure — so most children don’t need anesthesia. This means no scary needles or post-treatment numbness. The laser also sterilizes the area as it works, reducing the risk of infection and helping surrounding enamel become more resistant to future cavities. It’s a faster, easier way to keep your child’s smile healthy.
A tight or short frenulum (lip or tongue tie) can interfere with eating, speaking, or oral development. With Solea, we can gently release this tissue in seconds — with no bleeding, no sutures, and minimal discomfort. This quick, precise procedure allows for easier feeding in infants and improved speech and comfort in older children. Most kids recover in just a day or two, and many experience immediate improvements in mobility.
If your child has developed a bump inside their lower lip — likely a mucocele — laser treatment offers a fast and gentle solution. These cysts form when a salivary gland becomes blocked, usually after a minor lip injury. The Solea laser allows us to remove the cyst without numbing or stitches, and most children recover quickly with minimal discomfort. There’s little to no bleeding, and the treatment usually takes only a few minutes.
Benign tissue overgrowths (fibromas) can be safely and precisely removed with the Solea laser. These “tissue tags” are typically caused by repeated irritation in the mouth and can sometimes affect speech or chewing. Laser removal is quick, gentle, and doesn’t require cutting, sutures, or long healing times. We also eliminate the need for local anesthetic in most cases, which keeps appointments stress-free for children and parents alike.
When gums become inflamed or infected, laser therapy can be used during cleanings to reduce harmful bacteria beneath the gumline. This improves gum health, reduces bleeding, and helps prevent periodontal problems down the road — all without discomfort. It’s especially helpful for teens struggling with early signs of gingivitis or for kids with braces. Laser bacterial reduction is painless, fast, and enhances the results of your child’s routine cleaning.

We start with a gentle exam, using digital imaging and kid-friendly explanations to assess your child’s needs. If laser dentistry is recommended, we’ll walk you through the benefits and what to expect.
During the procedure, the Solea laser gently vaporizes decay or soft tissue without vibration or contact. Most kids don’t need numbing, and treatment is often completed in just a few minutes.
Because the laser minimizes trauma to surrounding tissues, healing is typically faster and more comfortable. Your child can return to school or activities the same day in most cases.

In choosing to use the Solea CO₂ laser, Dr. Justin and Dr. Sage rarely need to administer anesthesia to patients. The laser’s unique wavelength allows for fast, precise, and gentle removal of tissue — meaning no needles, no scalpels, and no sutures in most cases.
We always take time to introduce your child to the laser in a calm, reassuring way. Because the Solea laser doesn’t cause vibration or pressure, most children find it far more comfortable than traditional tools. For those who need extra support, we offer pediatric sedation options.
Solea is FDA-approved for both hard and soft tissue procedures and is backed by years of clinical success. It’s a safe, effective alternative to drills and scalpels — with fewer side effects and faster healing. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry supports its use in children and those with special healthcare needs.
