Switzerland's Largest Dental Trade Fair
Dental Bern 2026 takes place from 4 to 6 June 2026 at BERNEXPO (Mingerstrasse 6, 3014 Bern, Switzerland). Organized by Swiss Dental Events AG, this dental trade show in Switzerland has been running since 1963, making it one of the longest-established dental exhibitions in Europe. With 4,433 sqm of exhibition space in a single hall, approximately 150 exhibitors, and around 6,000 expected visitors, Dental Bern offers an efficient, concentrated trade fair experience.
What to Expect
The exhibition features dental equipment, materials, technologies, and services from Swiss and international manufacturers. Dental Bern is known for its "workout sessions" — compact, inspiring presentations by industry experts that deliver practical knowledge in focused formats. The 2024 edition offered 16 such sessions covering dental innovation and current trends. The SSO Congress (Swiss Dental Association) runs alongside the trade fair, providing a substantial scientific program with combined ticketing available.

The event serves dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants, and practice managers.
