Announcing DentistryIQ’s 2026 Editorial Advisory Board

DentistryIQ has always been one of dentistry’s most trusted publications because of its reliance on the guidance of the dental professional. As dentistry continues to quickly evolve, it is imperative that we gain access to timely information, thoughtful perspective, and practical navigation.

To support that need, we are proud to announce the 2026 DentistryIQ Editorial Advisory Board!

This group of respected professionals from across the dental industry will offer key guidance in the editorial direction of DentistryIQ’s content to ensure that what we publish reflects the educational, operational, and opportunity needs of the audience. Our board members represent a wide range of perspectives from clinicians and educators to industry leaders and operations experts, and we will lean into their experiences as we move forward.

For me, the role of the advisory board is not simply symbolic but one of active participation. Over the coming months, you’ll see their insights reflected across DentistryIQ through articles, interviews, and special discussions focused on the issues that matter most to dentistry today. Because they are active participants and colleagues of our audience, their input will ensure that DentistryIQ continues to deliver content that is both credible and immediately useful.

Over the coming year, you’ll see DentistryIQ continue to broaden the conversations we’re having about the profession. Clinical excellence will always be at the center of what we cover, but dentistry today is more complex than what happens in the operatory alone. We’ll be diving into leadership and team development, the realities of running modern dental practices, emerging technologies, and the operational systems that allow practices to thrive. I am particularly pleased that we will lean even further into revenue cycle management and insurance pressures as they are a linchpin for the success and failure of many practices. We’ll also keep a close eye on the broader industry—DSOs, workforce challenges, education, and the evolving expectations of patients. 

It is with heartfelt gratitude that we announce this esteemed group. It will be a pleasure working alongside them.
