Solea
Solea is a CO2 dental laser by Convergent Dental that enables anesthesia-free hard and soft tissue procedures, significantly reducing patient anxiety and appointment time.
What Solea does
Solea is a 9.3-micron CO2 dental laser designed for both hard tissue (enamel, dentin, cementum, bone) and soft tissue procedures. Its primary clinical value proposition is eliminating the need for anesthesia injections in most restorative cases, which reduces patient anxiety and chair time. Solea Sleep, an add-on, delivers laser-assisted uvulopalatoplasty (LAUP) for snoring treatment — a practice diversification play. Solea integrates with most modern dental operatory setups and is cleared by the FDA.

What to evaluate
Significant capital investment (typically $70K–$110K). Training and technique adaptation required; ROI depends on case volume and premium service pricing. Not all procedures eliminate anesthesia entirely. Evaluate financing options and whether snoring/sleep service line fits your practice demographics.
