Problem
Dental procedures that rely on drills and injections often cause pain, bleeding, and the need for sutures, leading to patient anxiety and longer chair time. These factors limit practice efficiency and can reduce treatment acceptance, especially for pediatric and anxious patients. Traditional instruments also restrict the ability to perform minimally invasive, same‑day dentistry across a range of hard‑ and soft‑tissue applications.
Solution
Convergent Dental’s Solea® All‑Tissue Laser is an FDA‑cleared CO₂ laser system that delivers a 9.3‑micron wavelength optimized for hydroxyapatite absorption, enabling rapid vaporization of enamel and precise cutting of both hard and soft oral tissues. The platform provides anesthesia‑free, blood‑free, and suture‑free treatment, allowing clinicians to complete restorations, periodontal therapy, implant site preparation, and cosmetic procedures without conventional drills or needles. Integrated safety controls and ergonomic handheld delivery ensure consistent performance across multiple dental specialties. By eliminating the need for injections and suturing, Solea reduces procedure time, accelerates healing, and improves patient comfort, which can increase case acceptance and practice revenue. The system is supported by optional modules—Perioguide for periodontal surgery, Sleep for airway procedures, and Protect for soft‑tissue management—expanding the scope of services a practice can offer. Cloud‑based training and analytics tools help dentists adopt the technology quickly and monitor clinical outcomes.
Target Audience
The primary customers are general dentists, pediatric dentists, oral surgeons, and implant or cosmetic dentistry specialists seeking to increase efficiency, expand procedural offerings, and improve patient comfort.
