 Welcome to the QCDS website. Our aim is to encourage the improvement of the health of the public, promote the art and science of dentistry and to represent the interests of the members of the profession and the public we serve. QCDS can assist patients seeking a dentist in their area by providing names and addresses of member dentists convenient to the patient’s location.
QCDS is one of thirteen component members of the New York State Dental Association (NYSDA) which in turn is a member of the American Dental Association(ADA). Under this tripartite system, QCDS members belong to both the NYSDA and the ADA as well as to QCDS.
Our members can avail themselves of a variety of continuing education courses that provide the latest information on clinical matters, practice management and new technologies that enable the member to provide the best treatment to every patient. Many courses are offered at little or no cost to members through the generosity of sponsors of these programs.
Our bi-monthly Bulletin is a source of articles regarding news events, clinical and legislative updates and general information to our members. Anyone wishing to advertise can click here for further information.
QCDS provides a variety of member benefits available only to members. The tripartite system of membership in the local component, NYSDA, and the ADA provides over 150,000 members with a formidable voice in speaking on your behalf on the national, state and local level. An alternative dispute resolution process in lieu of lawsuits and complaints to the Office of Professional Discipline is available to members through the Peer Review process that enables a patient dissatisfied with the results of a procedure to obtain an impartial review of the dentistry and possible refund if the dentistry is found to be inappropriate.
It is our hope the information on our website will enable our members to make the most out of their membership and to provide the public with information regarding the benefits of choosing a dentist who is a member of organized dentistry.
Patients seeking a referral to a member dentist in their community can contact the QCDS office for this information.
We welcome comments/suggestions which can be e-mailed to QCDS1@aol.com or sent to our address:
