The Solea all-tissue dental laser by convergent dental is an advanced CO₂ laser system that allows for precise, comfortable, anesthesia-free dental treatments. Unlike traditional dentistry, which often require drills, needles, and anesthesia numbness, Solea offers a high-tech, pain-free, minimally invasive alternative that is simultaneously efficient and gentle. FDA-approved for both hard tissue and soft tissue procedures, Solea’s transformative approach addresses a multitude of dental needs, making it one of the most versatile and innovative tools in modern dentistry.

Solea: A One-of-a kind Dental Laser:
What makes Solea so special is its versatility and comfort levels. While other dental laser units treat either hard tissues or soft tissues, Solea’s unique wavelength interacts seamlessly with enamel, dentin, bone and soft tissue, delivering outstanding results without noise, discomfort, or bleeding. Solea is the only 9.3 micron CO2 Laser available on the market. Its mirror system, optimized by Galvos, computer-controlled systems, multiple spot sizes and variable-speed foot pedal allow for different functions depending on the tissues being treated.
How Can Solea Deliver Anesthesia-free Dentistry:
Solea pulses at an astounding rate of 1,000 pulses per second. The gate control theory of pain asserts that non-painful input can close nerve “gates” to painful input, which prevents the sensation of pain from reaching the central nervous system. As Solea vaporizes tissues, it overwhelms pain receptors, preventing pain signals from ever reaching the brain. The result is an analgesic effect that allows dental work to be completed without shots, numbness, or pain.
Why We Love Solea
We feel that Solea is like the magic wand of dentistry! We love it because it helps us do what we do best: provide gentle, high-quality, leading-edge care for child and teen clients. Our families love Solea because it prioritizes comfort and offers exceptional dental experiences. Solea dental laser has simply transformed how we practice dentistry making procedures faster, more comfortable, and more precise.

1
Prevention:
Solea possess healing properties that benefits soft and hard tissues. Solea can heal superficial caries and enamel defects by acting on the hydroxyapatite structure which is enhanced when exposed to Solea. Solea also has a photobiomodulation effect on the dental pulp increasing blood supply and healing capacity.

2
Precision Sealants:
Sealants are protective coatings placed in the deep grooves of molars to protect these areas from dental decay. These grooves are tiny bottlenecks that trap food debris and bacteria and are impossible to clean. A sealant seals these grooves and creates a smooth surface that is easy to clean and is impermeable to oral bacteria. Removal of biofilm prior to placing a sealant is important for its success. Solea is the most powerful tool in cleansing tooth structures and eliminating biofilm enhancing the success and duration of dental sealants.

FAQs for Solea Laser Experience:
What does a session with Solea entail?
We tell kids and teenagers that our Solea Laser experience is like going to the dental spa! A beam of sunshine paired with a water bath will clean and revitalize their teeth and mouth. They also get to wear “sunglasses”! This analogy is well-received and helps kids associate the session with something familiar and comfortable. Parents are welcome to sit in on the Solea experience and will also be provided with protective eyeglasses.
How does bypassing local anesthesia happen?
We gently walk kids and teens on what to expect during the Solea experience before the visit. Solea has a water mist that helps with cooling. We explain to our clients that they will be feeling vibrations and a cooling sensation on their tooth. During the initial introduction of Solea, we guide our children and teens through these sensations and ask them to report any excessive sensitivity by raising their hand. Mode, speed and technique are carefully calibrated until complete comfort is achieved. In the rare instance where someone remains sensitive to the care, we can introduce a slight amount of local anesthetic using our computerized delivery system, the STA. However, the majority of treatments are completed completely pain-free and anesthesia-free.
Does my child need sedation during Solea care?
This will depend on the treatment needs. In general, we encourage parents to consider the comforts of our sedation suite. Because Solea is such a gentle instrument, nitrous oxide and oxygen inhalation sedation offers a perfect pairing to achieve a super comfortable experience.
How is Solea delivered to the site of treatment?
Solea’s handpiece has a small tip where the laser beam appears. The small beam can be adjusted in size depending on the treatment area and the specific desired outcome. Solea’s beam precision is a dentist’s dream come true!

🦷💖 Did you know that a woman started pediatric dentistry in the United States?
In 1909, Dr. Minnie Evangeline Jordon opened the first dental practice in the U.S. just for children 🧒👧 — at a time when almost every dentist was a man treating children and adults the same.
She believed kids deserved care, compassion and gentleness ❤️
By 1925, she wrote the first-ever textbook on children’s dentistry, shaping how we treat little smiles to this day. 📖✨
The mother of pediatric dentistry was truly a woman ahead of her time. 👩⚕️💫
