Dental Summit: Future of Dentistry
Dental Summit: The Future of Dentistry is Del Mar Dental's premier annual conference bringing together leading dentists, entrepreneurs, researchers, investors, and healthcare innovators to explore the technologies, business models, and clinical advances shaping the next generation of oral healthcare. Held at UC San Diego's Theater District, the one-day summit combines world-class clinical insight with practical strategies for building stronger, more profitable, and patient-centered dental practices. The event features keynote presentations, expert panels, networking opportunities, and discussions on emerging topics including AI in dentistry, digital workflows, robotics, diagnostics, practice management, and the future of dental innovation. AI, digital imaging, and data-driven clinical tools are increasingly transforming how dentistry is practiced, making these topics central to the profession's future.
Hosted by Del Mar Dental, a dental service organization (DSO), the summit reflects the company's mission of helping dentists spend more time practicing dentistry while providing the infrastructure needed to build exceptional businesses. Del Mar Dental supports dentists through practice growth resources, operational expertise, strategic financing solutions, leadership development, and retirement planning. Its defined benefit pension programs help practice owners maximize tax-efficient retirement savings while creating long-term financial security, allowing dentists to focus on patient care while building lasting wealth.
More than a conference, Dental Summit: The Future of Dentistry is designed to foster collaboration across the dental ecosystem. Whether attendees are private practice owners, specialists, emerging clinicians, founders, investors, or industry partners, the summit provides an opportunity to learn from recognized leaders, exchange ideas, discover new technologies, and develop relationships that advance both individual practices and the future of dentistry. The event reflects Del Mar Dental's commitment to supporting dentists not only as clinicians, but as entrepreneurs and leaders shaping the profession for decades to come.
