The Winter Retreat is an annual event hosted by Dental Artistry Academy. The core objective is to inspire, connect and recharge.
Dental Artistry Academy is the professional education branch of the practice and its mission is to train the super dentists of the future.
Through its networks, it aims to bring the most exciting and current continuing professional development programs to oral health professionals.
The Winter Retreat is an opportunity for dentists from around the globe to join us for some rest and relaxation accompanied by high quality continuing professional development.
The Dental Artistry Winter Retreat is held yearly in the picturesque Queenstown, New Zealand, and every third year at an overseas location. The Retreat is timed perfectly to avoid the school holiday peak season, and is structured to allow guests plenty of time to enjoy adventuring, skiing, amazing food and wine tours.
The educational content covers a variety of topics from periodontology and implantology to case studies and digital workflows. The workshops are taught by Dr Sheng Zhang and special guest speakers.
The next Winter Retreat will be taking place from 10th-14th August 2026 in Queenstown, New Zealand. Register your interest below or contact academy@dentalartistry.co.nz
I had a wonderful time at the course and have already ordered all the materials needed to get started!
The Dental Artistry implant course “Essential Dental Implantology for New Graduates” provided a valuable opportunity for new graduates to gain essential knowledge and skills about implants. Dr Sheng is an outstanding lecturer with expertise in all aspects of dentistry. He provided invaluable assistance during the hands-on demonstrations and presented information in a straightforward and helpful manner
Thank you again for recently organising the vape lecture. I learnt new things to add to my “vaping-cessation advice” and did nicotine calculations for a couple of patients that vape the following day. It was really interesting watching their faces change as they engaged with the conversation!
Essential Dental Implantology for New Graduates was a brilliant course. Very detailed and simple, easy-to-follow steps and guidance, particularly when the tool kits were out for us to play with and be guided on what item was which. Lots of cool fun facts about implants from both a historical and health perspective! Dr Sheng threw in a good mix of new grad stuff, including problems to encounter and advice on ways to manage it. Also gave lots of excellent advice as an adult and soon-to-be working professional.
I found this introduction to neuromodulators course extremely valuable. Dr Sara and Dr Sheng delivered the information in an easy to digest format. There was a good mix of dental and facial aesthetics and I appreciated the focus on safety. I will be recommending this course to my colleagues. Thank you!
I thoroughly enjoyed the course with Sheng and Sara, it was great to be in a small class and working so close alongside the tutors. I learnt so much and can’t wait to put it all in to practice!
