No Drill. No Needle. No Anxiety.
What if your next dental appointment involved no drilling, no numbing shots, and no anxiety about what comes next? At Boulevard Dental in Clearwater, that is not a distant possibility — it is what we offer every day with Solea® laser dentistry.
Solea® is one of the most advanced dental laser systems available today — a technology that has fundamentally changed what dental treatment feels like for patients who have long associated the dentist's office with discomfort, fear, and dread. Dr. Jason Kopakin uses the Solea® laser to treat cavities, reshape gum tissue, and address a range of soft tissue concerns with a level of precision, speed, and patient comfort that conventional instruments simply cannot deliver.
If fear, anxiety, or a past negative dental experience has been keeping you from getting the care you need, Solea® laser dentistry at Boulevard Dental Clearwater may be the breakthrough you have been waiting for.

What is Solea®
Solea® is a computer-aided CO2 laser system developed by Convergent Dental — specifically engineered for use in dentistry and designed to work on both hard tissues (teeth and bone) and soft tissues (gums and oral mucosa). This versatility makes Solea® one of the most capable and comprehensive laser systems available in a dental office today.
What sets Solea® apart from other dental lasers — and from conventional dental instruments — is its remarkable ability to perform the vast majority of cavity preparations and soft tissue procedures without anesthesia. No numbing gel. No needle. No waiting for the injection to take effect. For most patients, Solea® treatment is virtually painless from start to finish.
Solea® has been used by thousands of dental practices across the country and has treated millions of patients — making it one of the most clinically proven laser systems in modern dentistry. At Boulevard Dental Clearwater, we are proud to offer this technology to our patients as part of our commitment to the most comfortable and advanced dental care available.
What Can Solea® Treat
The Solea® laser is a versatile tool used for both hard and soft tissue treatments, including:
-
Cavity Treatment & Fillings — Anesthesia-Free
Solea® can treat most cavities without needles or drilling discomfort. It removes decay quickly and precisely, with little to no sensation.
-
Multiple Cavities in One Visit
Without the need for anesthesia, multiple areas can often be treated in a single, efficient appointment.
-
Gum Contouring
Reshapes excess gum tissue to improve your smile—minimally invasive, with little bleeding and faster healing.
-
Frenectomy
Gently releases restrictive tissue under the tongue or lip—quick, comfortable, and typically no sutures needed.
-
Treatment for Sores & Lesions
Speeds healing of canker sores, cold sores, and other lesions while providing fast pain relief.
-
Snoring Relief
A non-surgical treatment that tightens throat tissue to reduce or eliminate snoring.
-
Gum Disease Treatment
Targets bacteria in the gums to support healing while preserving healthy tissue.
The Solea® Experience — What Patients Actually Feel
We understand that reading about laser technology is one thing — knowing what it actually feels like is another. Here is what most patients experience during a Solea® procedure at our Clearwater office:
-
No injection
In the vast majority of cases, no numbing shot is needed before treatment begins. You simply sit down and we get started. -
No drill sound
The Solea® laser is essentially silent compared to a conventional drill. The absence of that familiar sound alone is enough to put many anxious patients significantly more at ease. -
No vibration or pressure
The sensation of drilling — the pressure, the vibration transmitted through the jaw — is completely absent with Solea®. Most patients describe feeling very little during treatment. -
Mild sensation at most
Some patients describe a mild tingling or warmth during the procedure. The vast majority report that the experience was far more comfortable than they anticipated — and many are genuinely surprised by how little they felt. -
No numbness afterward
Because anesthesia is not used in most Solea® cases, there is no post-appointment numbness. You leave our Clearwater office feeling completely normal — able to eat, drink, and speak without the lingering effects of a numbing injection.
Solea® is Ideal for Anxious Patients & Children
Dental anxiety is one of the leading reasons adults avoid the dentist for years — sometimes decades — allowing small problems to become root canals, extractions, and significant bone loss. Solea® was designed with these patients in mind. By eliminating the drill, the needle, and the associated discomfort, Solea® makes it possible for patients who previously could not tolerate dental care to receive the treatment they need comfortably and without fear.
Solea® is equally transformative for younger patients. The absence of the needle and the drill removes the two elements that most commonly trigger fear and distress in children. Fast, quiet, and comfortable — Solea® makes it far easier for children to sit calmly through treatment, and a positive first experience can shape a child's relationship with dental care for life.
If anxiety has been keeping you or your child from getting needed care, please reach out to our Clearwater team. We will take all the time needed to walk you through what Solea® treatment feels like — and we are confident the experience will be unlike anything you have encountered at a dental office before.
