Convergent Dental Inc., developer of Solea, the computer-aided, CO2 all-tissuedental laser system, has announced a strategic partnership with Patterson Dental, a distributor of dental products, equipment, and technology in the United States and Canada.

Through the new partnership, Patterson Dental is now distributing Convergent Dental's Solea, the first and only CO2 all-tissue dental laser cleared to cut hard, soft, and osseous tissue in the United States.

“We are tremendously excited about this partnership,” remarked Michael Cataldo, CEO of Convergent Dental. “Patterson’s representatives have earned a place as trusted advisors to thousands of dentists because of their commitment to a deep understanding of what is important to each customer and delivering the best solutions to meet those needs. This thoughtful approach to helping practices grow matches exactly with how we do business at Convergent Dental and is the most important aspect of this partnership.”

According to the manufacturer, Solea has earned its reputation for delivering reliably anesthesia-free, blood-free, suture-free, and pain-free experiences because of the science behind it, the technology that enables it, and its simplicity in the hands of the dentists. Dentists move back and forth between hard, soft, and osseous tissue modes by changing pressure on the variable-speed foot pedal.

“Solea is revolutionizing the dental practice by dramatically increasing production while greatly improving the patient experience,” remarked Dave Misiak, president of Patterson Dental. “We truly believe in this groundbreaking technology and see it as a powerful complement to the other technologies that we have so successfully introduced to thousands of our customers.”
