The future of dental education has arrived with Glidewell TV, an exciting new television service that aims to cover everything in the dental world. Glidewell TV offers a library of video content sharing clinical techniques, patient-focused demonstrations, and trending industry insights. Available for free on mobile devices, smart TVs, and Windows computers, Glidewell TV makes it easy for dentists, staff, and students to learn, stay inspired, and stay connected — anytime, anywhere.

Dentistry is evolving rapidly, and keeping up with the latest clinical advances, patient care strategies, and practice management techniques can be challenging. Glidewell developed Glidewell TV to help dentists keep up with relevant topics and educate patients in an accessible, entertaining format.   

Glidewell TV is a natural evolution from Glidewell’s longstanding commitment to supporting the dental community. Beyond its role as America’s largest and most innovative laboratory, the company also serves as a place where dental professionals can come together and learn about the latest advancements in their field. The world-famous Glidewell symposia offer opportunities to earn continuing education units, networking forums, and the chance to view lab operations during campus tours.

For busy clinicians who can’t make it to a symposium or want extra content to hold them over until the next event, Glidewell TV is the perfect resource to keep learning. It’s the first-of-its-kind streaming service in dentistry.  

With its seamless, on‑demand experience similar to popular platforms like Netflix or Amazon Prime, Glidewell TV delivers an expansive library of clinical tips, patient-focused guides, and trending industry insights right to your favorite device.
