Upcoming HBI webinar looks at what will work and who will win in dental in 2026
The dental market is moving quickly, and 2026 is shaping up to be a year of selective careful deal-making. Buyers want quality and businesses that are future-proofed, and are genuinely adding value.
In our upcoming webinar on February 17. 10 am GMT, I’ll be joined by Sara Dalmasso, Head of Enterprise Solutions at Straumann Group, a Swiss company based in Basel, manufacturing dental implants and specialised in related technologies, Paul Graham from specialist advisor for buying and selling businesses Christie & Co, and Mirko Puccio of PRIMO-CAREDENT, an Italian dental chain.
The webinar will look at what’s really happening in dental deals right now and who’s likely to win next year.
Over the past 18 months, the market has shifted noticeably. Dental groups are rethinking their growth plans. Instead of chasing rapid expansion, they’re focusing on stronger foundations, better margins, and long-term sustainability. We’ll talk about what actually makes a practice attractive to buyers today, how Dental Service Organisations (DSOs) are adjusting their strategies, and what’s really driving transactions in this environment.
Technology is also becoming a bigger part of the story. From AI tools that support clinical decisions to digital systems that improve workflows, the right tech can make a real difference. But not everything labelled innovative delivers results. In the webinar, we’ll focus on the tools that are genuinely improving day-to-day performance.
We’ll also explore how the picture differs across regions, including Europe and the US, and what DSOs should be thinking about if a sale could be on the cards!
