The Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) is proud to announce a new corporate sponsorship agreement with Glidewell, one of the world’s largest producers of custom dental solutions. The partnership, which will provide support to AGD through 2028, aims to offer valuable educational and engagement opportunities for AGD members.

As part of the multi-year agreement, Glidewell will kick off its sponsorship by serving as an exhibitor this year at AGD2025, the organization’s annual scientific session, which brings together general dentists from across North America for hands-on learning, peer networking, and access to leading dental innovations.

In addition to its presence at AGD’s premier event, Glidewell will sponsor continuing education (CE) programming and digital advertising campaigns tailored to support the professional growth of general dentists. These initiatives are designed to enhance AGD’s educational offerings and ensure members remain at the forefront of clinical excellence and practice innovation.

Further solidifying its commitment to AGD’s mission, Glidewell has also pledged meeting space and audiovisual support to host the AGD Fellowship Review Course and Exam in the fall of 2027 and 2028.

“We are excited to welcome Glidewell as a long-term corporate sponsor,” said Chethan Chetty, DDS, MAGD, president of AGD. “Their commitment to high-quality dental education aligns with AGD’s goals for our members and will help advance our mission to promote lifelong learning and elevate the practice of general dentistry.”

Glidewell founder and president Jim Glidewell, CDT, added, “Continuing education has long been a cornerstone of Glidewell’s mission to improve the quality, efficiency, and affordability of dentistry. AGD is an acknowledged leader in this pursuit, and it’s an honor to support their ongoing effort to maximize clinical success for dentists and their patients.”
