The Raleigh center will expand Glidewell’s existing educational framework, which is headquartered in Irvine, California. Thousands of dental professionals benefit annually from continuing education and clinical training at the Irvine location.
- Affordable Continuing Education (CE) credits

The center will offer an array of courses focusing on advancements in digital dentistry, small-group learning, and enhanced educational experiences. Initial course offerings will be based on Glidewell’s proven curriculum and will evolve with local feedback.
Training and Support Features
The Raleigh facility will also function as a training hub for Glidewell’s glidewell.io™ In-Office Solution. This includes features for chairside milling and 3D printing, as well as equipment support aimed at boosting service efficiency in the region.
