Solea Means No Surgery

Ariata Dental uses the Solea laser treatment in Gurnee to help with lip & tongue ties. In most cases, it eliminates the need for surgery.

Ties That Bind

Lip and tongue ties can make everyday activities like eating and speaking more difficult especially for babies and young kids. Ties happen when the small tissue under the tongue or inside the upper lip is too tight or thick.

Since the tie restricts movement, it can lead to problems with breastfeeding, speech development, and even oral health. The good news? Treating lip and tongue ties
early can help prevent these challenges and get your child back on track for healthy development.

What Solea Treatment Solves for You

Treating lip and tongue ties early can make a big difference in your child’s development. For infants, releasing these ties can improve breastfeeding almost immediately. They’ll latch better and feed more comfortably.

Solea laser treatment at Ariata Dental leads to better weight gain and fewer feeding issues. What a relief for both parents and babies! Treating lip and tongue ties helps with proper speech development as children grow.

Kids can speak more clearly and avoid potential speech therapy down the road. Early treatment also supports better oral health and reduces the risk of tooth gaps and gum issues later in your child’s life.

How Solea Stands Out

The Solea laser stands out as a modern, high-tech solution for treating lip and tongue ties. It offers a virtually pain-free experience and works with incredible
precision. Your child will have less discomfort and quicker healing.

In most cases, there's no need for general anesthesia—just a little numbing is enough. The laser gently removes the restrictive tissue without causing significant bleeding or swelling. Plus, your little one won’t need stitches.

This means a faster, easier recovery with minimal fuss for parents and kids. if you’re a concerned parent, you can relax. The Solea laser treatment is effective, quick, and safe.

The Solea Laser Frenectomy

A frenectomy involves removing a small fold of tissue (frenulum) that keeps your child’s tongue or lip from moving freely. Dr. Hosseini can use the Solea laser to make your child’s frenectomy quick and easy.

Your Consultation

Before the procedure, our team will assess your child’s lip or tongue tie to confirm if a frenectomy is necessary. A consultation helps us understand what’s really going on. The better we understand the problem, the better we can help.

How It Works

First, Dr. Hosseini will use a small amount of numbing gel on the area to ensure your child feels comfortable. The Solea laser gently releases the restrictive tissue on their tongue or lip.

This part of the process typically takes only a few minutes and is virtually pain-free, thanks to the precision of the laser. There’s little to no bleeding, and no need for stitches.

What Happens When It’s Over

Immediately after the procedure, most children feel little to no discomfort. You’ll
immediately notice an improvement in movement, whether it’s better feeding for
infants or improved speech for older kids.

Parents are often amazed at how quickly the procedure is completed and how little downtime there is. Your child can get back to their regular routine the same day in most cases.
