Convergent Dental Hosts Largest Solea Summit in Company History

Convergent Dental, the power behind the Solea^® All-Tissue Dental Laser, recently concluded its annual Solea Summit at the JW Marriott in Indianapolis. As the largest Solea Summit to date, the event served as a premier educational and networking experience, bringing together hundreds of dentists across North America to exchange best practices, learn from renowned industry experts, and gain exclusive insights into new developments that will shape the future of laser dentistry.

Convergent Dental CEO Rob Gershon addressed the gathered Solea practitioners to kick off the meeting, expressing admiration for the collaborative and forward-thinking community. "Manufacturers don't lead revolutions; it's the frontline doctors who do," said Gershon. "You are the ones redefining the standard of care in dentistry, using Solea all day, every day to create a different, elevated experience for your patients."

The dental meeting was structured to enable both peer-to-peer learning and hands-on clinical experience. Attendees took part in sessions that covered advanced uses of Solea in clinical practice, opportunities for expanding treatment capabilities, and strategies for effective practice management. The schedule featured keynote addresses from notable industry experts, including Doug Fettig, CPA, MBA, on practice leadership, Erin Elliott, DDS on sleep medicine workflows, and Scott Froum, DDS who unveiled a new peri-implantitis protocol utilizing Solea.

In addition, Solea Summit highlighted Convergent Dental's expanding relationships with leading academic institutions that have incorporated Solea into their dental programs. These relationships reflect Convergent Dental's commitment to providing clinical evidence and training for the next generation of dental practitioners.

Convergent Dental also introduced the soon to be released Solea^® Perioguide^™, an application for the Solea platform that enables minimally invasive treatment of moderate to severe periodontitis.

Solea Summit continues to be the leading laser dentistry event of the year, in part due to Convergent Dental's steadfast support of practitioners, providing them with the tools, partnerships, and resources to help them succeed. In Gershon's closing, he reaffirmed Convergent Dental's commitment to supporting Solea dentists in their journey. "You're leading a revolution in dentistry. Both Convergent Dental and Patterson Dental, our exclusive distributor, are honored to be your partner in expanding what's possible for your patients and your practice."

Preparations are underway for Solea Summit 2025, being held at the Austin Marriott Downtown October 9-11, 2025.
