Why Join?

Joining the CDA is one of the best investments you can make.

The CDA represents over 68.3% of Colorado’s licensed dentists with a membership of over 3,500 dental professionals. By joining the CDA, you receive a tripartite membership in the American Dental Association, CDA, and your local component society.

The CDA offers numerous benefits to enhance you as a dental professional and to help your practice save money. The CDA also represents the strongest united dental voice in the state legislature, keeps you informed about hot topics in dentistry, and represents your best interest before elected officials, dental-related organizations and the public.

What is the membership year?
The membership year runs from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31.

Retirement Memberships
Retired and retired life memberships are available. Retired members pay twenty-five percent (25%) of the full active dues.

What is Life Membership?
An active or retired member dentist in good standing for at least 30 consecutive years, or a total of 40 years, in the previous calendar year is eligible for life membership. Member dentists who attain the requirements for life membership while still practicing (active life members) pay 100% of full active dues. Members who qualify for life membership, are retired, and have submitted an affidavit attesting to these qualifications to the CDA pay $0 at all three membership levels.
