Fees

Our membership fees are tailored to support each member of the dental team at each career stage, and we offer concessionary fees in some circumstances.

If you are a UK taxpayer, you may be able to claim tax relief on your fees. The effective cost of membership after tax relief for each team role and membership grade is illustrated below based on the basic and higher rates of income tax currently applicable in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

If you have any queries about fees, membership or eligibility to join or upgrade, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.
