“Not only does Solea provide a better experience for our patients, but it also enables our dentists to achieve better clinical outcomes and perform more treatments per patient visit. This means we can provide top quality care and do it all in fewer appointments.”

Elica Health Centers (EHC) Now Offers Dental Patients Reliable Anesthesia-Free, Needle-Free Fillings and Bloodless, Suture-Free Soft Tissue Surgeries Using the Solea® All-Tissue Dental Laser (Convergent Dental, Needham, MA) . By integrating Solea into their dental practices, EHC fulfills its mission to provide affordable, high-quality health care to underserved populations facing barriers to accessing care throughout the Sacramento area.

“Solea is an advanced dental laser that replaces the needle and drill for a multitude of dental treatments. In fact, most patients do not need anesthesia for common procedures such as fillings,” said Nina Tecson, DDS, Dental Director of EHC “Not only does Solea provide a better experience for our patients, but it also enables our dentists to achieve better clinical outcomes and perform more treatments per patient visit. that we can provide superior care and do it all in fewer appointments. Solea has also allowed us to expand our range of dental services, allowing our dentists to treat more patients in our offices, instead of refer to specialists.

Tatyana Bak, CEO of EHC, noted that many EHC patients face transportation and scheduling issues that can create disparities in access to care. Because Solea is reliable without anesthesia, dentists do not have to inject anesthesia and wait for it to take effect, which saves time. Additionally, dentists can perform multi-quadrant dentistry, which means they can perform procedures in all areas of the mouth and perform more treatments in a single visit. Patients can miss work for less time and avoid traveling for follow-up appointments. And a bonus for patients: they can leave the practice and return to work immediately without that feeling of discomfort and numbness.

EHC has integrated Solea in five sites to date. Maria Nunez-Ouji, DDS, a general dentist specializing in the treatment of children based at the EHC Cadillac Drive office, is particularly impressed with the benefits of Solea for her pediatric patients. “Many children are nervous even before they have had their first visit to the dentist because of what they have seen on television or heard from adults. Solea allows us to treat multiple cavities in the same day, without needles, without drill noise and without numbness. Because the patient does not remain numb, they can return to school, camp, or even take food immediately afterwards. These kids will never need to worry about the dentist again, and neither will their parents! »
