Case Study: Convergent Dental improves pediatric dentistry experiences with Patterson Dental’s Solea laser

Convergent Dental cuts anesthesia use in up to 95% of procedures with Patterson Dental

Convergent Dental, a provider of dental laser technology, sought to overcome the common challenge of patient fear and anxiety, particularly among pediatric patients, which can prevent individuals from seeking necessary dental care. To address this, they partnered with vendor Patterson Dental to implement their innovative Solea all-tissue dental laser, which enables many procedures to be performed without a needle or drill.

The solution from Patterson Dental, the Solea laser, allowed Convergent Dental's customers to perform anesthesia-free dentistry in up to 95% of procedures. The results were transformative: patient fear diminished substantially, procedures were completed faster with multiquadrant dentistry often finished in a single visit, and practices saw a significant reduction in chair time. This led to a measurable increase in practice efficiency and new revenue streams from procedures like infant frenectomies, which also served as a practice builder for future patient visits.
