Annual event draws nearly 640 dental professionals highlighting rapid growth, innovation, and community.
WALTHAM, Mass., Oct. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Convergent Dental, the power behind the Solea® All-Tissue Dental Laser, hosted its largest Solea Summit to date, drawing nearly 640 dental professionals— a 25% increase in attendance compared to 2024. The gathering spanned three days of education, hands-on training, peer networking, and strategic discussions.
At the Summit's opening, Convergent Dental CEO Robert L. Gershon reflected on the meeting's incredible growth since its inaugural session in 2015. "On February 7, 2015, we held our first user-group meeting with 27 attendees and a handful of discussion topics," he said. "Today, we're offering 64 courses, 18 hands-on events, and hosting nearly 640 dental professionals. That's transformative growth—and a testament to your dedication." He framed the progression not merely in numbers but as evidence of a doctor community that invests in itself, sharing knowledge and elevating one another in pursuit of improving the oral health for large populations of patients.
"What makes this gathering extraordinary is that like-minded practitioners—regardless how long they've used Solea—share their experiences openly, with the explicit goal of elevating a community of doctors," he said.
The collaborative environment resonated strongly with attendees. "Solea Summit has such incredible energy. The meeting stands apart for its sense of community and purpose. Everyone here is committed to sharing clinical insights, supporting one another's education, and advancing the profession together," said Erin Elliott, DDS of Post Falls Family Dental and Sleep Better Northwest. That sort of peer exchange and shared learning continues to be a hallmark of the Solea Summit experience.
Gershon also highlighted Convergent Dental's 20%+ growth trend and expectation for this trend to continue for the next 5 years—outpacing the broader dental equipment market—and reaffirmed the company's commitment to advancing the Solea platform through innovations like Solea Sleep™, Solea Protect™, and Solea Perioguide™, investments in education and the upcoming launch of new marketing programs to drive broader base awareness of Solea.
Planning is underway for Solea Summit 2026, being held at The Phoenician, Scottsdale, October 8-10.
