Become a Member

The membership year runs from January through December of any given year. Dues should be paid in full or an installment plan should be established by January 1 of that membership year. If dues have not been paid in full or a payment plan has not been established as of March 31, membership will expire and member dentists will no longer receive tripartite membership benefits.

WSDA membership dues include a mandatory DentPAC contribution for political activities. If member dentists do not wish to contribute to DentPAC, they can choose to have this mandatory contribution applied to the Issues Fund. Contributions to the Issues Fund go only towards WSDA legislative issues; they do not support any particular candidate. Member dentists who wish to contribute to the Issues Fund in place of DentPAC must contact WSDA staff before paying their membership dues.  

All member dentists pledge to adhere to the ADA Principles of Ethics and Code of Professional Conduct. Both can be reviewed at ada.org/ethics.

A receipt is sent to member dentists via email once their payment has been processed. WSDA recommends that member dentists keep this receipt for accounting purposes.

Installment Plan
The installment plan allows you to make 12 monthly payments with your credit card. Checks are not accepted for installment plan payments unless the installment plan is being paid in full. A one-time processing fee of $72 is automatically included for installment plans.

The first payment of an installment plan is made when the installment plan is created. All subsequent payments will be run on the 5th of each month. If an installment plan is started after February 5th, all payments for previous months will be charged with the first payment.  

Member dentists using the installment plan will receive email notification of successful installment charges and/or failed charges. Member dentists are responsible for updating their card information either online or by calling WSDA at (800) 448-3368. If a member dentist is past due on three installment charges, their membership will be cancelled and all tripartite membership benefits will cease. 

If a member dentist chooses to cancel their installment plan before dues are paid in full and without making arrangements to pay dues in full, membership will be cancelled and all tripartite membership benefits will cease. No refund will be issued.

If a member chooses to cancel their membership after April 1, no refund will be issued. Member dentists must contact WSDA at (800) 448-3368 to request a cancellation of their membership.
