The Future of Dentistry is MARvelous

Mateo Chang

A Presentation by Mateo Chang at the 20th Anniversary Sunrise Dental Solutions Summit – Sept. 18-20, 2025

This 20th Anniversary Summit marks more than a remarkable milestone. It’s an inflection point—a rare, electric collision of two decades of Sunrise’s relentless drive with twenty years of hidden digital ninjery, brought to life in a single, unprecedented moment. In this keynote, Mateo Chang takes the stage to unveil what happens when legacy and technology finally meet—not by chance, but by design—and why this may forever alter how every dentist in this room imagines their next 20 years.

Fueled by real-world AI and decision systems already revolutionizing the world beyond dentistry, this isn’t a glimpse of the distant future. The shift has already begun. It’s here. And it’s calling on those bold enough not just to adapt, but to lead.

Learning Objectives

1. Learn how system-driven insight will transform clinical, operational, and financial decisions.

2. Understand what makes responsible, human-led AI different from quick-fix tools.

3. See how this community can lead the next era of dentistry through shared knowledge and action.
