Dentistry Show London (DSL) will return to Excel London on 9-10 October 2026, bringing together thousands of dental professionals for two days of practical education, business insight and the innovations helping practices thrive in a rapidly changing UK dental landscape.
Following the success of the British Dental Conference & Dentistry Show (BDCDS) in Birmingham, which welcomed more than 10,300 delegates across two days in May, Dentistry Show London is set to continue the conversation around the key challenges and opportunities facing the profession today.
With over 4,000 visitors expected, more than 100 speakers, seven CPD-accredited theatres and over 180 leading suppliers and manufacturers on the exhibition floor, the event will provide a valuable platform for dental professionals looking to strengthen clinical knowledge, improve practice performance and explore emerging technologies.
This year’s programme has been designed to address some of the most pressing issues currently affecting dentistry, including workforce recruitment and retention, NHS contract reform, business growth, artificial intelligence and digital transformation.
‘As dentistry continues to evolve, professionals are increasingly looking for practical solutions they can implement within their practices immediately,’ said Amit Popat, Show Manager. ‘Dentistry Show London has been developed to provide not only high-quality education, but also meaningful discussion, peer-to-peer learning and access to the innovations that are helping shape the future of patient care.’
Practical solutions for modern dentistry
A key theme throughout the 2026 programme will be helping practices navigate an increasingly complex operating environment.
Sessions will explore how practices can stand out in a competitive marketplace, diversify services through areas such as medical aesthetics, attract and retain talented team members, and adapt to ongoing changes within NHS dentistry.
Alongside business-focused content, the programme will also examine how technologies such as artificial intelligence are beginning to transform everyday practice workflows. Following significant interest in AI-focused sessions at BDCDS Birmingham, discussions at Dentistry Show London will continue to explore how digital tools can support administrative efficiency, enhance communication and improve the patient experience.
The emphasis throughout will remain firmly on practical application, providing delegates with actionable insights they can take back to their practices.
A collaborative learning environment
While clinical education remains central to the event, Dentistry Show London has evolved beyond the traditional conference format.
Interactive panel discussions, live demonstrations and hands-on learning opportunities will sit alongside the lecture programme, creating opportunities for delegates to engage directly with experts and peers.
The event will also showcase the latest products, technologies and services from across the dental sector, enabling attendees to compare solutions, evaluate investments and gain first-hand experience of new innovations.
Networking continues to be one of the show’s biggest attractions, bringing together practice owners, associates, hygienists, therapists, dental nurses, technicians and practice managers from across the profession. As practices continue to face common challenges, the opportunity to share experiences and learn from colleagues has never been more valuable.
Amit added: ‘Whether delegates are looking to streamline workflows, strengthen team culture, improve patient communication or better understand the role of emerging technologies, Dentistry Show London offers a comprehensive programme designed to help practices grow, adapt and thrive. We can’t wait to open our doors again in October.’
