The 74th Annual Meeting of the Western Society of Periodontology (WSP), and the 7th Annual Western Dental Hygiene Symposium (WDHS), will be held at the beautiful Talking Stick Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona on June 12-14, 2026. The theme of this year’s meeting is ‘Collaboration in Action – Creating Healthy, Beautiful Smiles.’

In modern dentistry, no clinician can stand alone. Long-term, esthetic, and functional success now depends on how well restorative dentists and periodontists plan and treat together, along with insight and support from the entire interdisciplinary team of specialists and hygienists.

WSP’s mission of bringing together periodontists, specialists, restorative dentists, and hygienists for genuine collaboration will be showcased once again in our annual session. Over the course of the meeting, you will see Collaboration in Action with shared clinical protocols, refined techniques, and practical communication strategies aimed at creating healthy, beautiful smiles. The program is built around real-world clinical challenges and the team-based solutions that address them. We have focused this year’s meeting on concise lectures around key clinical thematic topics as well as cross-cutting interdisciplinary topics and have invited world-class speakers.
