Membership Benefits for Dentists

Why Should I Join Organized Dentistry?

Together, we thrive. 

Because membership in the ADA, the KDA and your local component means you have made a powerful commitment to grow as a professional, an individual and a dentist.

  • The KDA and ADA provide dentists with active representation to both the state and federal legislatures. We also organize and educate our dentists in advocating for themselves, the profession of dentistry, and the oral health of their communities.

  • The ADA’s Practice Transitions program (ADAPT) uses practice philosophies and goals to match established dentists looking to either hire associates or sell their practice with dentists in search of opportunities, either for employment or to purchase a practice of their own. Go to adapraticetransitions.com for more information or to create a free profile!

  • Qualifying ADA members can refinance their student loans with Laurel Road with an extra 0.25% rate reduction. Dentists saved an average of $33,000 over the life of their loans when they took advantage of this members-only program!

  • ADA partner Great West Financial offers members highly competitive group rates for life and disability insurance.

  • KDA’s Annual Meeting will be August 22-25, 2024 at Louisville's Galt House Hotel. It will be a fun opportunity to meet vendors, view the latest dental technology, socialize with fellow dental professionals, and complete Continuing Education on topics that interest you.

  • You will receive both KDA Today and The Journal of the American Dental Association in print, as well as a variety of e-newsletters to keep you apprised of news, scientific advances, and upcoming events. You also have full access to the ADA library and so many other member advantages at www.ada.org!

  • KDA patrons Bowman Insurance and Benefit Services (bowmaninsuranceandbenefits.com) specialize in working with dentists and dental offices. They offer a variety of insurance options for both business and personal needs, including group Health, Malpractice, Business Owners (General Liability & Property, etc.), Worker’s Compensation, and others.
