No-Drill Fillings
No-Drill Fillings – A Quieter, Calmer Visit
For decades, the sound and vibration of the dental drill have been the leading causes of dental anxiety. At Westside, we are changing that narrative completely. With the Solea laser, we can perform routine cavity preparations and fillings without ever turning on a traditional drill.
Dental care at Westside is provided by Dr. Zubaida Hussain, dentist and Dental Director, in West Springs, Calgary SW. We follow the Alberta Dental Fee Guide and accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP). New patients welcome – no referral needed.
Replacing the drill with light
The Solea laser removes decay with a computer-guided beam of light and a fine mist of water – no spinning bur, no whine and no vibration through the tooth. Because there is no mechanical contact, most fillings are placed without a needle, and you can eat and talk normally as soon as you leave.
The laser only removes what needs to go, so more of your healthy tooth is preserved – and the same appointment can often cover cavities in different parts of the mouth.
The Benefits of Drill-Free Cavity Care
- Peace and Quiet: The Solea laser is practically silent. Without the whine of a drill, you can relax, listen to a podcast, or just enjoy a much calmer atmosphere.
- Zero Vibration: Because there is no mechanical grinding against your tooth, you won’t feel the jarring vibrations that make traditional fillings so uncomfortable.
- Maximum Tooth Preservation: The laser is incredibly exact. It allows us to pinpoint and remove only the decayed areas while leaving as much of your healthy, natural tooth structure intact as possible.
- Stronger, Longer-Lasting Fillings: The laser actually sterilizes the tooth as it works and prepares the enamel in a way that allows your new filling to bond more securely, reducing the risk of future issues.
Combined with our needle-free approach, getting a filling is no longer something you need to dread. It is just a quick, quiet, and comfortable step toward a healthier smile.
