Exciting Updates for 2026: Live Workshops, Mentorship, and On-Demand Tracks
Dr. Dennis Hartlieb

As we close another remarkable year at Dental Online Training, I’m filled with gratitude and excitement. The growth we’ve seen — through deeper engagement, collaboration, and shared commitment— has been nothing short of inspiring. Together, we’ve built a space where learning, improvement, and connection truly thrive.

Looking ahead, we’re continuing to expand and enhance your DOT experience. Whether you’re joining live workshops, participating in mentorship sessions, or exploring on-demand courses, our goal is to make it easier than ever for you to chart your own learning journey.

We're especially excited to introduce a new 3-part Dental Leader Series beginning in early 2026. This series, taught by Geri Gottlieb, CEO and founder of the GG Practice Coaching & Development, is designed to help you elevate not only your clinical skills but also your ability to lead your team and communicate confidently with patients.

Thank you for being such an integral part of the Dental Online Training community. Together, we’re shaping the future of dental education—and we can’t wait for what’s ahead.

See below for a sneak peek at what we’ve got planned for 2026!

Live Virtual Workshop Schedule

We all know the challenges of attending in-person courses—time away from the office, travel expenses, and the difficulty of keeping up with your patients and practice. That’s why our live virtual workshops allow you to learn advanced restorative techniques and earn hands-on participation CE credits from the comfort of your office. Order kits and we’ll deliver all them directly to your door, so you can follow the instructor in real time. And don’t worry if you miss anything—you’ll have access to recordings to review whenever you like.

Study Club Schedule

Our study club is designed for dentists who want to dive deeper into treatment planning for clinical success. If you’re looking to enhance your practice with case presentations, discuss research articles, and share tips with your colleagues, these in-depth virtual meetings are for you. The study club meets five times a year on Thursday evenings, giving you a chance to engage in meaningful conversations and walk away with new tools to apply in your practice.

On-Demand Hands-on Course Release Schedule

For those of you who prefer learning at your own pace, our hands-on on-demand courses are a perfect fit. We’ve invited new instructors and are building on our current topics with one goal in mind: to deliver the highest-quality education that you can immediately apply to your practice. Each course includes an optional hands-on training kit, allowing you to follow along with the videos, pause, rewind, and master the techniques at your own pace.

Leadership Series Schedule

I'm very excited to announce that we will be offering a new 3-part Dental Leader Series in 2026! Geri Gottlieb is the coach that my practice partner, Dr. Christopher Ching, and I worked with to improve our leadership and management of our dental practice. If you are struggling with leading your team, and your practice lacks organizational clarity, this Leadership Series with Geri Gottlieb and GG Coaching & Development is a must for you!  

One of my personal goals for DOT is not only to help you enhance your clinical skills, but also to empower you as a leader in your practice. Our Leadership Series will focus on leadership strategies and team development that will help you apply and implement the clinical skills and information that you are learning from DOT.  Putting the clinical skills and techniques that you are learning to action will improve your happiness and satisfaction in clinical practice and help move your business forward. These sessions will be packed with insights on how to engage your team, create better systems, and lead with confidence!

Here’s what you can look forward to (all sessions are 90 minutes and start at 9 AM CST):

  • 02/13/2026 – Overcoming the Inner Critic: Imposter to Empowered
  • 03/06/2026 – Who You Are is How You Lead 
  • 04/03/2026 – Next Level Leadership: Raising Up the Team Around You


Please note: This workshop series is only available to premium members. However, The Dental Leader series is not included in your membership — you’ll need a separate registration ticket to attend.

Coffee and Donuts Schedule

There’s something special about coming together informally, sharing stories, and discussing patient treatments over coffee. In our Coffee and Donuts sessions, I look forward to kicking off Friday mornings in a relaxed, welcoming setting where we can talk practice management, case feedback, and more. These sessions are a great way to connect with peers, share insights, and learn from each other in a laid-back environment.
