The Yankee Dental Congress has officially opened registration for its 2026 event, offering dental professionals an early opportunity to secure their spot at one of the nation’s premier dental conferences. With discounted early-bird pricing available through December 19, 2025, now is the ideal time for dental teams to plan their attendance.

Dental professionals who register between November 1 and December 19, 2025 can take advantage of significant discounts across all attendance categories. The early-bird pricing structure makes it more affordable for entire dental teams to attend together, with rates varying based on professional category and ADA membership status.

ADA member dentists can register for just $166 during the discount period, while the rate increases to $200 for regular registration from December 20 through on-site registration. Non-ADA member dentists and international dentists will pay $350 during the early registration window, rising to $445 for regular registration.

Dental team members also benefit from competitive pricing. Dental hygienists can register for $106 (early) or $140 (regular), while dental assistants pay $100 or $135 depending on registration timing. Office professionals and non-clinical professionals receive discounted rates of $90 during early registration, increasing to $125 for regular registration.

Registration includes valuable continuing education credits that vary by professional category. Dentists receive five general attendance credits, while dental hygienists earn four credits and dental assistants receive three credits. Postdoctoral attendees, who can register for the reduced rate of $50 (early) or $65 (regular), also receive five credits.

For those primarily interested in the exhibition experience, an Exhibit Show Floor Only pass is available for $90 during early registration or $105 afterward. This option provides access to exhibit show floor courses, Corporate Forum courses, and Minuteman courses.

The Yankee Dental Congress recognizes the contributions of retired dental professionals by offering complimentary pre-registration for retired life ADA members. Additionally, the conference welcomes family members with guest rates of just $25 for adults over 18 and $10 for children, making it possible to combine professional development with family time in the Boston area.

Healthcare professionals from outside the dental field can also attend, with registration priced at $166 (early) or $200 (regular), providing an excellent cross-disciplinary learning opportunity.

One of the advantages of online registration is the ability to add courses without service charges. Attendees can modify their registrations at yankeedental.com through the “Access Existing Registration” portal. Course modifications can be made by contacting the registration office at 877.515.9071 or emailing [email protected] with your badge number, but requests must be submitted by December 19, 2025.

The December 19, 2025 deadline serves as a critical date for multiple purposes. Beyond marking the end of early-bird pricing, this date also represents the final opportunity for cancellations and refunds. Cancellation requests must be processed through the website’s registration portal, with processing fees of $25 per canceled registration and $5 per course. The minimum refund allowed is $10.

After December 19, no refunds will be granted for any reason, including illness, late arrivals, weather conditions, or parking difficulties. This firm policy underscores the importance of early planning and registration.

Payment options include MasterCard, Visa, American Express, or check. Those using a US Bank MasterCard can earn additional benefits including points toward airfare, merchandise, and cash back while supporting the dental association.

The Yankee Dental Congress continues its tradition of bringing together dental professionals from across the region for comprehensive education, networking, and exposure to the latest innovations in dental technology and practice management. With early registration now open and substantial savings available for those who register before December 19, dental professionals should begin planning their attendance for this premier industry event.
