Texas has one of the fastest-growing dental markets in the country, with major demand concentrated in the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin. A large, rapidly expanding population and a heavy concentration of DSOs make Texas a key state for continuing education and dental-technology adoption.

The Texas Dental Association anchors the state calendar with the TDA Annual Meeting, while the Southwest Dental Conference in Dallas and Star of the South in Houston are long-running regional meetings that combine CE programming with sizable exhibit halls. Together they give Texas dentists multiple large meetings to choose from each year without leaving the state.

Texas dentists complete continuing education on a renewal cycle set by the State Board of Dental Examiners, and the state’s conferences cover the full range — clinical tracks, hands-on workshops, practice management, and DSO growth strategy. Technology sessions on digital workflows, automated recalls, and AI-powered front-desk tools are a growing fixture, reflecting how competitive the Texas market has become.
