“Convergent Dental, Inc., is the creator of Solea, the world’s first computer-aided hard, soft and osseous tissue dental laser.

With an isotopic CO2 beam of 9.3 µm, Solea cuts significantly finer and faster than any other dental laser, with virtually no noise or need for anesthesia. Our unique system, with patented technologies and controls, nearly eliminates the need for the drill. And without the drill, dental dread is a thing of the past. Solea is completely changing what it means to go to the dentist.”
