Welcome to The dawson academy

Turn Complex Cases Into Predictable Outcomes

With globally trusted Dental CE, you’ll gain the confidence and skills to master complex cases, streamline your workflows, and achieve predictable outcomes with accuracy.

Who We Are

A Global Leader in Dental CE

While dental school provides a foundation for treating individual teeth, many dentists soon realize it doesn’t equip them to address the underlying causes of patients’ issues. Those who pursue dental continuing education with The Dawson Academy describe their experiences as “eye-opening” and transformative, sparking powerful “aha moments” that fundamentally shift their approach to patient care.

The Dawson Academy is a postgraduate educational and clinical research facility dedicated to advancing the field of dentistry through our renowned Core Curriculum. With a comprehensive, patient-centered approach, we help dental professionals around the world master the art and science of Complete Dentistry, transforming their lives, their practices, and the way they deliver care.
