Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization and Basis of Presentation	1. Organization and Basis of Presentation Description of Business Sonendo, Inc. (“Sonendo” or the “Company”) was incorporated in June 2006 pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware under the name Dentatek Corporation. In March 2011, the Company changed its name to Sonendo, Inc. The Company is a medical technology company that has developed and is commercializing the GentleWave System to treat tooth decay. The Company’s principal market is the United States. The Company’s products include the GentleWave System, which is cleared by the United States (“U.S.”) Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for sale in the U.S., along with the system’s sterilized, single-use procedure instruments ("PIs"). In addition, the Company offers practice management software to enable an integrated digital office for dental practitioners. Basis of Presentation The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on a consistent basis with the Company’s annual financial statements and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial information. Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. The results of operations included in these condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the year, any other interim period, or for any other future annual or interim period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed, consolidated, or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on March 23, 2022. Initial Public Offering and Reverse Stock Split On October 20, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors (the "Board") approved an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse split of shares of the Company’s common stock and convertible preferred stock on a 1-for-1.825 basis (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The par values of the common stock and convertible preferred stock were not adjusted as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. All references to common stock, options to purchase common stock, convertible preferred stock, warrants and forward obligation issued for preferred stock, share data, per share data and related information contained in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the effect of the Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented. Outstanding stock options were proportionately reduced and the respective exercise prices, if applicable, were proportionately increased. The Reverse Stock Split was effected on October 22, 2021. On November 2, 2021, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 7.8 million shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $12.00 per share. The aggregate net proceeds from the offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses, were $83.8 million. On November 2, 2021, the Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation to provide for, among other things, the Company’s authorized capital stock to consist of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. In addition, upon the closing of the IPO, all 17,031,887 outstanding shares of the Company’s convertible preferred stock were converted into an equal number of shares of common stock, 224,842 shares of common stock were issued in connection with the settlement of the outstanding forward obligation, and warrants to purchase 331,503 shares of convertible preferred stock were converted into equal number of warrants to purchase shares of common stock. The amended and restated certificate of incorporation defines the voting rights, dividends, liquidation, rights and preferences of each class of stock. Liquidity and Management’s Plans As of June 30, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $17.6 million and short-term investments of $34.2 million. The Company has a limited operating history, and the revenue and income potential of the Company’s business and market are unproven. The Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception and as of June 30, 2022 had an accumulated deficit of $342.7 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred net losses of $30.7 million and used $31.5 million of cash and cash equivalents in operations. The Company will continue to incur significant costs and expenses related to its ongoing operations until it gains market acceptance of products and achieves a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s operations. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Based on its current operating plan, the Company expects that its existing cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, together with anticipated revenue and available debt financing arrangements, will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least 12 months from the date of issuance of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. If the Company's actual operating expenses significantly exceed its operating plan or its debt financing arrangements become unavailable because certain borrowing requirements are not met (see Note 9), the Company may have to significantly delay or scale back its operations to reduce working capital requirements, and substantial uncertainty would exist with respect to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, the Company would prioritize necessary and appropriate steps to enable the continued operations of the business and preservation of the value of its assets beyond the next 12 months, including but not limited to, actions such as reducing personnel-related costs and delaying or curtailing the Company’s commercial efforts, development activities and other discretionary expenditures that are within the Company’s control. These reductions in expenditures, if required, may have an adverse impact on the Company’s ability to achieve certain of the Company’s planned objectives in fiscal year 2022. COVID-19 The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted our operations, revenue and overall financial condition, and may negatively impact our operations, revenue, and overall financial condition in the future if new and more transmissible vaccine-resistant variants emerge. Our customers, including endodontists, have experienced significant financial hardship and some of them may never fully recover. We also experienced disruptions, and may experience future disruptions, including: delays in capital and clinical sales representatives becoming fully trained and productive; difficulties and delays in dental practitioner outreach and training dental practitioners to use our GentleWave System; travel restrictions; delays in initiation, enrollment and follow-ups of our clinical studies; challenges with maintaining adequate supply from third-party manufacturers of components and finished goods and distribution providers; and access to dental practitioners for training and case support. The COVID-19 pandemic also resulted in, and may in the future result in, significant disruption to the global financial markets, reducing our ability to access capital, which could in the future negatively affect our liquidity. As of June 30, 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic did not trigger any asset impairments for the Company. The duration and ultimate economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business remains uncertain at this time. We expect that any future restrictions on dental procedures, as a result of COVID-19 or the emergence of any vaccine resistant variant, and other related issues including supply chain disruptions, would have a negative impact on our operations, revenue and overall financial condition. Operating Segments The Company operates two operating and reportable segments: Product and Software. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, who is the Company’s chief executive officer (“CEO”), for the purpose of allocating resources and assessing performance. Description of the activities within these segments is included in Note 12. Emerging Growth Company Status The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to avail itself of this exemption and, therefore, for new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies, the Company will be subject to an extended transition period until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.

Liquidity and Management’s Plans

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $17.6 million and short-term investments of $34.2 million.

The Company has a limited operating history, and the revenue and income potential of the Company’s business and market are unproven. The Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception and as of June 30,

2022 had an accumulated deficit of $342.7 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred net losses of $30.7 million and used $31.5 million of cash and cash equivalents in operations. The Company will continue to incur significant costs and expenses related to its ongoing operations until it gains market acceptance of products and achieves a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s operations.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

These reductions in expenditures, if required, may have an adverse impact on the Company’s ability to achieve certain of the Company’s planned objectives in fiscal year 2022.

COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted our operations, revenue and overall financial condition, and may negatively impact our operations, revenue, and overall financial condition in the future if new and more transmissible vaccine-resistant variants emerge. Our customers, including endodontists, have experienced significant financial hardship and some of them may never fully recover. We also experienced disruptions, and may experience future disruptions, including: delays in capital and clinical sales representatives becoming fully trained and productive; difficulties and delays in dental practitioner outreach and training dental practitioners to use our GentleWave System; travel restrictions; delays in initiation, enrollment and follow-ups of our clinical studies; challenges with maintaining adequate supply from third-party manufacturers of components and finished goods and distribution providers; and access to dental practitioners for training and case support.

As of June 30, 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic did not trigger any asset impairments for the Company.

The duration and ultimate economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business remains uncertain at this time. We expect that any future restrictions on dental procedures, as a result of COVID-19 or the emergence of any vaccine resistant variant, and other related issues including supply chain disruptions, would have a negative impact on our operations, revenue and overall financial condition.

Operating Segments

The Company operates two operating and reportable segments: Product and Software. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, who is the Company’s chief executive officer (“CEO”), for the purpose of allocating resources and assessing performance. Description of the activities within these segments is included in Note 12.

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to avail itself of this exemption and, therefore, for new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies, the Company will be subject to an extended transition period until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.
