The future of dentistry will come firmly into focus when the North of England Dentistry Show returns on 13 February 2026, with a refreshed format designed to reflect the realities of modern practice.
Hosted at Manchester’s AO Arena, NOE 26 responds to a profession facing rapid technological advancement, shifting patient expectations and growing pressure to deliver care that is both ethical and sustainable. Rather than a conventional exhibition, the event has been reshaped as a forum for ideas, debate and practical insight – bringing together clinicians who are actively redefining how dentistry is delivered.
The programme brings global perspective and real-world experience under one roof, with sessions examining innovation, prevention, digital workflows and the fundamentals that remain central to long-term clinical success. Experiential zones will also allow delegates to engage directly with emerging tools and concepts that are already influencing everyday practice.
Headlining the day is keynote speaker Miguel Stanley, founder and clinical director of White Clinic in Portugal. Respected worldwide for his principled approach to care, Miguel has built an international reputation for combining advanced technology with rigorous clinical standards.
His keynote will address the growing consequences of compromised dentistry, including the rise in complex corrective treatment, and challenge clinicians to think critically about how – and why – they adopt new techniques. He will also explore how digital systems, biomaterials and AI can enhance outcomes when used with intention, discipline and clinical responsibility.
With education, experience and perspective at its core, NOE 26 aims to provide clarity amid complexity – helping dentists decide what to embrace, what to question and how to prepare for the decade ahead.
