Could government-backed funding help your dental practice adopt AI? KPMG reports that Canada's AI for All strategy commits more than $2.3 billion across adoption, domestic AI capabilities and public trust. This is a national investment, not a fund reserved for dental practices.

Canada's strategy aims to raise business AI adoption from about 12% to 60% by 2034. Join us to understand which funding and financing programs may fit your practice, who qualifies, and how to get started.

Explore government-backed AI funding and financing, eligibility rules, and what to prepare before applying. Bring questions about your practice and your planned AI projects.

Then we get practical. What happens when a business puts AI into daily operations. What holds up, what breaks, and what it costs to run. For a dental practice, the lifetime value of one patient makes a single missed call expensive, and we can put real numbers against that now.
Plain answers from people running AI today. Bring hard questions. The useful part is usually the argument.
What you will leave with
A plain explanation of the AI for All strategy and the programs under it.
An honest read on which funding options fit a practice your size, and which do not.
A way to treat AI as a capital allocation decision rather than a hype purchase.
The workflow question that separates AI pilots that reach production from the ones that die.
Who this is for
Dental practice owners and practice managers in the Greater Toronto Area. Clinicians and office managers, not technologists. No technical background needed.
