Revolutionizing Pediatric Dental Care

When we say your child’s comfort matters – we mean it. We’ve invested in Solea laser technology, the first FDA-approved CO2 laser for both hard and soft tissue procedures. This transformative system allows us to perform a wide range of treatments and often eliminates the need for anesthesia for cavity treatment and dental fillings. It also allows us to complete more treatments in a single visit, saving you time and reducing the number of appointments needed. Best of all, your child can return to normal activities immediately after treatment, with no lingering numbness.

  • Needle-free, pain-free procedures
  • Faster treatment times

What to Expect

Laser dentistry with Solea offers a uniquely comfortable experience for your child. Here's what you can expect during a laser dentistry appointment:

Consultation and Examination

We'll start by examining your child's teeth and discussing the planned procedure. We'll explain how the laser works in kid-friendly terms, addressing any questions or concerns you or your child may have.

Preparation

Unlike traditional treatments, there's often no need for numbing or anesthesia. We'll simply ensure your child is comfortable in the chair and provide protective eyewear for safety during the laser procedure.

Laser Treatment

The actual laser treatment is quick and virtually painless. Your child might feel a cooling sensation from the laser's water spray, but there's typically no discomfort. The laser's precision allows us to target only the affected area, preserving healthy tooth structure.

Post-Treatment Care

After the procedure, there's usually no downtime. Your child can eat, drink, and return to normal activities immediately. We'll provide any necessary aftercare instructions, but recovery is typically much faster than with traditional treatments.

Aloha is Amazing!

My son is autistic and we have had a great experience at Aloha. They have “sensory hours” where they adjust the office to be less stimulating/quieter for kids and build in extra time for kids. I really appreciated that experience. I was so nervous about my son going to the dentist but he walked away very happy without any issues which was amazing.

Aloha Pediatric Dentistry is the absolute best! Everyone in the office goes above and beyond for you!! We have worked with Dr. Ruehe and she is absolutely amazing with our 4 yr old, always so calm and gentle with her and taking time to make sure she feels comfortable. She helped navigate us around some complicated dental work that needed to be done and reassured us every step of the way. We feel so lucky to be working with her and this amazing office!

Clara

Just back from another great visit to Aloha. My kids genuinely look forward to going to the dentist, even when there is a treatment planned and not just a cleaning. All the staff are wonderful at putting them at their ease and inspiring interest in keeping their teeth healthy.

The very best! I came to Dr. Katsura’s practice when I was a kid, and I love taking my kids to Aloha now. The care is top notch. My 3yo had the time of his life today. And my 8yo sailed through X-rays, cleaning, and a treatment without complaining. We are so grateful for your care.

My kids have been coming here for 15 years. Their professionalism with a pediatric focus is unsurpassed. Watching the team work together between patients is seamless, efficient and always ensures great hygiene practices. It is a calm, peaceful and cheerful environment. Everyone adjusts their approach based on the age of the patient. They take the time to make everyone (patient and family) feel safe, heard and cared for. My only wish is that they took adult patients. I highly recommend Aloha Pediatric Dentistry.
