About AADE
Continuing Dental Education for Practicing Dentists
The American Academy of Dental Education (AADE) provides continuing and advanced dental education for practicing dentists through focused courses, clinical workshops, lectures, hands-on training and extended educational programs.
Designed for clinicians committed to continued professional development, AADE connects contemporary dental knowledge with clinical application, helping participants strengthen their understanding, refine clinical judgment and learn alongside experienced educators and dental professionals.
The Academy
Boston-Based. Global in Reach.
AADE is a Boston-based dental education academy with programs delivered in the United States and internationally.
Our educational model brings clinicians and educators together across different locations and learning formats, creating opportunities for dentists to access relevant continuing education without limiting the Academy to a single campus or country.
Programs are designed for qualified dental professionals seeking focused learning beyond their formal dental education, from short courses and masterclasses to extended residency-style programs.
our Purpose
Continuing Education That Supports Better Clinical Practice
AADE was created around a clear principle: continuing dental education should be relevant to modern practice, grounded in credible knowledge and structured to support meaningful professional development.
Our goal is to help dentists engage critically with contemporary techniques, technologies and clinical approaches, understand the evidence behind them and consider how they can be applied responsibly in patient care.
our approach
Where Evidence Meets Clinical Application
Evidence-Informed Education

Global Learning
AADE delivers dental education in the United States and internationally, extending access to continuing education beyond a single campus or location.

Education Designed for a Changing Profession
Dentistry continues to evolve through new research, technologies, materials and approaches to patient care. AADE creates opportunities for practicing dentists to continue learning throughout their careers, explore developments within contemporary dentistry and strengthen the knowledge and clinical judgment that inform everyday practice.
