Convergent Dental's Solea Summit 2026 to Focus on Minimally Invasive Dentistry and Practice Growth

WALTHAM, Mass. – Convergent Dental, the developer of the Solea® All-Tissue Laser, has unveiled the expanded program for its Solea Summit 2026, taking place October 8-10 in Scottsdale, Arizona. The annual gathering is expected to convene more than 700 dental professionals for clinical education and discussions on practice growth.

The summit aims to provide dentists and their teams with actionable insights to broaden their minimally invasive care offerings, increase same-day treatment opportunities, improve workflows, and foster sustainable practice growth. A key focus will be on enhancing the overall patient experience.

New this year is the Spotlight Series, which will feature discussions beyond clinical applications. This series will bring together leaders from dentistry, healthcare, and business to explore innovation, leadership, and evolving patient expectations. Topics will include integrating digital workflows, expanded uses of the Solea laser for oral-systemic health, and identifying sleep apnea.

Robert L. Gershon, CEO of Convergent Dental, stated, "Solea Summit is more than a conference. It's one of the most visible examples of what makes the Solea community unique." He added that the event facilitates idea and experience sharing among clinicians to promote collective learning and growth.

The three-day event will also offer hands-on training and continuing education credits. The Solea laser is FDA-cleared for all tissue types, enabling dentists to expand minimally invasive procedures and rethink traditional workflows, including delivering more care in a single visit. Registration for the 2026 summit has seen an 11% increase over the previous year.
