Upcoming 1 CE webinar! "All Day, Every Day Laser Dentistry" with Dr. Yooson Kim. Wednesday, November 6th at 7pm ET.
Convergent Dental, Inc. is a privately owned dental equipment and technology company. The Company’s flagship product, Solea®, is the only CO2 laser to be cleared by the FDA for all-tissue indications and delivers an anesthesia-free, blood-free, suture-free experience that dentists can rely on.1
Solea is a true breakthrough in dental laser technology that offers a completely different experience for both dentists and patients when compared to traditional instruments or any earlier laser treatment. Solea enables dentists to elevate their practices through improved efficiency, patient experience, clinical effectiveness, and procedural expansion.2
Solea® is a unique laser that performs differently than any other. Solea emits a novel 9.3-micron wavelength, which nears the peak absorption of hydroxyapatite. The result? Solea vaporizes enamel (unlike other lasers that slowly chip it away), giving you the power to work anywhere in the oral cavity with speed and ease.
Whether treating virgin teeth, replacing old restorations, or performing soft or osseous tissue procedures, Solea is the right tool for the job.
Solea elevates dental practices. From cavities to crown lengthenings, Solea enables dentists to elevate their practices through improved efficiency, patient experience, clinical effectiveness, and procedural expansion.2 Hear from Solea Doctors on why they couldn’t practice without it!
“Having the Solea Laser has made a lot of the procedures I do simpler, faster, easier. I'm doing things too that I never did before!”
“What do I love about Solea? What’s not to love about it! Being able to do multiple quadrants of dentistry in one time, no anesthesia, multiple surgical procedures, right at your fingertips. [Patients] get up out of the chair with a smile and say, “Wow, I can’t believe we just did that without having to get a shot!””
“It’s been awesome with Solea! When the procedure is done, the patients just jump out of the chair like nothing happened. When we ask them how it was, they’ll say “It felt like nothing”, “It felt good!”, “It was fun!”. It’s really neat watching them have those experiences.”
“What drew me the most to Solea was the fact that over 90% of my patients could have their fillings done anesthesia-free, without using the drill. I couldn’t believe it at first. Well now, two and a half years later, we know it’s true.”
“Once I found out that there was an option to not have to give kids an injection, that was what sold me. I didn't need to hear anything else. For me to know that that exists and then to continue doing injections to me felt inhumane. And so once I knew it, that was it. Sold.”
“In a short period of time that I’ve been using Solea, we’ve done over 500 procedures and after we have finished we always ask the question, “If you had a choice, would you do Solea again or would you want to do it in the traditional way?”100% of the patients always choose Solea!”
“I look at the patient experience as being the most important part, that’s certainly what Solea has brought. I think it’s going to become the standard of care and people come to expect that and then if you don’t have it, that’s what people are going to be looking for.”

What if you could eliminate dental anxiety for many of your patients? And what if you could perform more same day dentistry? That is what anesthesia-free, blood-free, and pain-free procedures can do. Less blood, sweat and tears - more smiles, efficiency, and revenue for your practice.
Experience significant new patient growth, a dramatic reduction in patient attrition, and higher rates of treatment acceptance.2
Minimally invasive dentistry with fast healing times and reliable outcomes.2
When you reliably eliminate the need for anesthesia, you remove obstacles that slow you down or limit what you can accomplish in a single visit.3
Perform new soft and osseous tissue procedures because they are simple, fast, and minimally invasive.2
Solea operates at a unique wavelength with sophisticated, yet simple computer controls that enable high-speed, precision cutting on both hard and soft tissue. Solea works on everything from enamel to dentin to gingiva to bone.
