ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµMembership Fees
Value is important. Saving you money, providing the best services and assisting you with the business of being a dentist are some of the ways we demonstrate that value.
Your total dues payment includes membership in the American Dental Association, the ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµ, and your local component dental association or society. This gains you access to every benefit, at every level. As the state association, we are responsible for all dues billing.
Membership Dues for Full Active Licensed Members
Annual Dues at State and National Levels:
- 2025 NYSDA: $643
- 2025 ADA: $570
Local component dues vary based on your location and the dues set by that specific association or society. To receive your specific dues quote: Apply today!
Dues waivers: Requests for dues waivers should be directed to your local component dental association or society. These are evaluated on a case-by-case basis, annually. Dues are billed annually. You can renew your membership for the upcoming year before, on, or after January 1st. A lapse in membership terminates benefits including things like certain insurance policies and the Legal Protection Plan.
Student & Resident Membership Fees
ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµoffers memberships to students and current residents at a minimal cost. This fee is also billed annually. Students are automatically members of the ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµ as a benefit of their American Student Dental Association memberships. Graduate students and residents must apply for NYSDA/ADA membership.
