In response to member requests, the CDA is pleased to offer payment options for membership dues renewal.

Recent graduates can join the CDA, ADA and their local dental society* for free the first year. We understand you are just starting your career and appreciate your interest in organized dentistry. Your tripartite dues will be reduced to help you as you’re getting started:

• Graduate Program: You pay $0 in dues.
• Year 1: You pay $0 in dues.
• Year 2: You pay 50% of dues.
• Year 3 and on: You pay the full dues amount.

*Your local dental society is based on your practice address.

Is your primary dental practice relocating? Your local component is based on your practice address. If your dental society membership needs to be transferred, contact CDA Director of Membership Amanda Dougherty at 303-996-2842 or amanda@cdaonline.org with your new office and home addresses, phone number, fax number and website.

Moving to Colorado from another state? Welcome! Please complete the ADA Universal Membership Application and the CDA will be in contact with you shortly.

Are you moving out Colorado and want to transfer your membership to your new state dental association? Please contact CDA Director of Membership Erica Carvin at 303-996-2842 or erica@cdaonline.org with your new contact information. View a list of state dental associations.

In addition to the benefits you already receive from your local component, state association and the American Dental Association (ADA), the CDA can provide you with multiple opportunities that support you professionally and personally.

An affiliate member is entitled to the rights and privileges of an active member, however, an affiliate member doesn’t have the privilege to vote or hold an elected or appointed office or position in this association.
