ABOUT US

About Us

The Virginia Dental Association (VDA) is a non-profit 501(c)6 professional organization representing dental professionals and the practice of dentistry in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The VDA continually improves the quality of dental education and treatment within the state of Virginia. We are affiliated with the American Dental Association (ADA). The structure of our association is known as "tripartite"​ in that a member of the ADA is typically a member of three associations at once. The first being the ADA, the "national association," the second being the VDA or "state association," and the third being the local or "component"​ dental society. The VDA has a Board of Directors who govern and direct the association. The VDA has nearly 4000 members. 

VISION

The VDA exists to shape the future of dentistry in the Commonwealth while serving as the preeminent voice of dentistry in Virginia and continuously advocating for our members’ success and our patients’ well-being. 

MEMBERSHIP

The membership of the VDA shall consist of dentists duly licensed in Virginia and other persons whose qualifications and classifications shall be as established in the Bylaws.
