2026 ADSO Event Recap

 The 2026 ADSO Summit was an outstanding experience for our team at LADD Dental Group. Every year, this event brings together some of the most influential leaders, innovators, and professionals in dentistry, and this year was no exception.

We had the opportunity to absorb a tremendous amount of valuable information from industry experts covering a wide range of topics impacting the future of dental care. From leadership and practice operations to emerging technologies and patient experience, the conversations were insightful and thought-provoking. As a group that is committed to continuous improvement, we always appreciate opportunities to learn from others who are helping shape the future of dentistry.

One of the most rewarding aspects of attending ADSO is the chance to connect with incredible people from across the industry. We were fortunate to meet and engage with many phenomenal professionals who share a passion for advancing patient care and supporting the long-term success of dental practices.

A special thank you goes out to Dr. Avi Patel, host of The Doctor Avi Show podcast. We had an incredibly enjoyable conversation and greatly appreciate the opportunity to spend time with him during the event. Dr. Avi has created a fantastic platform that brings together leaders, entrepreneurs, and healthcare professionals to share ideas and experiences that can benefit the entire industry.

Our discussion covered a variety of topics, and we thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to exchange perspectives on dentistry, leadership, growth, and the importance of staying focused on serving patients and communities. Conversations like these are one of the many reasons we value attending events such as ADSO.

At LADD Dental Group, we believe that learning never stops. By investing time in professional development and building relationships with outstanding individuals throughout the dental community, we are better equipped to serve our patients, support our team members, and continue our mission of being a family serving families across Indiana.

We returned home energized, inspired, and grateful for the knowledge gained and the connections made throughout the conference. Thank you to the ADSO team for hosting another exceptional event, and thank you to everyone who took the time to share ideas and experiences with us.

We are excited about the future and look forward to applying what we've learned as we continue serving Indiana families with high-quality, patient-centered dental care

Besides, my teeth weren't hurting. Years later, I am paying the price in pain and costlier dental work .
