Marketing Solea Post COVID-19
When we emerge from the COVID-19 crisis, we’ll be entering a slower dental economy. In this webinar we’ll help you think one step ahead as we discuss low cost strategies to marketing your Solea laser to increase patient flow. In addition to being a great clinical tool, the Solea laser distinguishes you and your practice and represents a powerful marketing tool. We’ll help you leverage your laser to your greatest advantage - in a time where we all will greatly benefit from any “extra” boost.

Solea in Everyday Practice
Tuesday, April 14 | 11:30am EST
This course provides an over view of how Solea has infiltrated every corner of my practice. I bought Solea to do simple cavity preps anesthesia free, but found out that its about so much more than that. It breaks the cycle of fear, gives me more flexibly and improves my efficiency, and even allows me to do soft tissue procedures that I wasn’t doing before. Additionally, we will discuss how Solea transformed my practice from a 1 doctor, 5 staff practice to a 3 doctor, 13 staff practice in 18 months.

The secret to great laser dentistry? GREAT ASSISTANTS! Did you know the majority of common struggles doctors have with their laser stem from improper care and maintenance? We'll help assistants create a maintenance checklist for their dental laser.
More importantly, though, we'll dive into the WHY of laser dentistry. We’ll help your assistants understand the incredible benefits of laser dentistry to patients. In our own experience running dental practices it can simply take hearing the message from someone other than the owner.

Aerosols are kind of a big deal right now thanks to COVID-19. To be honest, they have always been a big threat to our industry but it is helpful to be reminded that as dental practitioners, our risk is much greater than other professions. This course takes a deep dive into universal precautions as well as innovative ways to specifically protect against respiratory pathogens. We also put Solea to the test and weigh in on whether or not it is proved to be better than the drill, yet again.
We are taking a FOUR PRONG APPROACH to addressing the risks associate with dental aerosols - (1) Elimination (2) Reduction (3) Protection (4) Filtration. Due to the scope of the presentation, we've decided to split the webinar into two parts. PART ONE will address Elimination and Reduction and PART TWO will address Protection and Filtration.
​
**We will be giving out a short "Aerosols Guidelines" PDF summarizing our findings and recommendations to serve as a resource for attendees.

Implant Soft Tissue Management
and the Solea Laser
Most dentists buy a Solea laser because of the ability to cut on teeth without anesthetic. Discover the best practices of using this amazing tool for managing tissue around dental implants. My whole world changed when I realized the capability of Solea around implants. Whether you only restore implants or also place them, you will leave with tangible information to take back to your practices on Monday (or as soon as we can all see patients again). Learning objectives are:
• Learn the techniques to uncover implants and when to use each one.
• Learn which cases will require anesthetic and which ones might not.
• Gain tips and tricks to make implant restoration more fun, more profitable and more predictable.

Laser Implant Osteotomies:
A discussion & case presentation
Rapid advancements to dental lasers are transforming practice as we know it traditionally. Over the past decade hard tissue lasers - enamel and bone cutting - have not only become viable but formidable surgical instruments. We asked the question: Can hard tissue lasers be used to successfully prepare implant osteotomies? Our answer: yes. In fact researchers have been examining this topic for over two decades now.
In this webinar we’ll present a laser implant osteotomy case that we completed over the past year and discuss the benefits as well as challenges of using a laser to prepare osteotomies. Additionally we’ll discuss some of the not-so-obvious reasons for using lasers as surgical instruments as we make a strong case that lasers have a good chance at replacing some of our traditional dental armamentarium.

Dental Lasers & Why You Should Be Paying Attention:
An overview and update on an existing future
Dental lasers are poised to transform the traditional practice of dentistry, and, with recent dramatic improvements, we’re now sitting at an inflection point in our profession. Gone are the days that lasers simply represent adjunctive, if not novelty, dental tech toys (think diode lasers). No longer narrowly limited in terms of their use, the new generation of CO2 lasers provide dentists a safer, less invasive, and anesthesia free instrument that’s able to cut both hard and soft tissue with incredible efficiency.
As experienced laser users, we’ve designed this presentation for new laser users as well as those non-laser practitioners interested in learning where the state of the art with dental lasers currently stands. We’ll discuss the following topics:
- How lasers work - specifically CO2 lasers
- The truth behind “anesthesia free” laser dentistry
- The benefits of lasers over high speed handpieces
- The range of procedures that are possible with lasers
- Procedures include fillings, soft and hard tissue surgery, and many more
- The ROI of lasers and how to use them to build AND distinguish your practice
*This presentation does not represent a sales event. While we are a training center for Convergent Dental, parent company of the Solea CO2 laser, this webinar is unaffiliated with them, and we have no conflicting interests, financial or otherwise. Our primary intent is to share our passion with you and hopefully bring value to you as a dental practitioner.
