Bringing People and Knowledge Together

With the aim of uniting people and knowledge while strengthening the development of oral health globally, Bridges, Ultradent's Esthetic Dentistry Congress, began in 2017 in Brazil. By bringing together some of the greatest names in dentistry, a unique education experience was born. And now, Ultradent is bringing the Bridges experience to the world. We are pleased to host the first Bridges experience outside of Brazil in the home of Ultradent—Salt Lake City, Utah. Don't miss the opportunity to hear amazing world-renowned speakers over this two-day event. We can't wait to see you!
