NYSDA Membership 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 New York State Dental Association, 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.

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.
