ADS is an alliance of independent dental practice brokers and management consultants.
ADS formed as American Dental Sales in 1995. It is a national association of qualified, experienced and trusted independent brokers and consultants. Our association consists of twenty-three voting members. Most of the members have more than 25 years of experience and the group as a whole has approximately 300 years of experience. Members are selected for their integrity, high standards, expertise and knowledge. Since our inception, our primary goal as an organization has been two-fold:
1. To set the benchmark for the dental practice brokerage industry.
2. To provide our services at the national level, through our unique member networking.
Brokers and consultants seeking membership in ADS undergo a rigorous interview and criteria review process. Standards for membership include but are not limited to a minimum of five years experience in dental practice brokerage, a qualifying number of transactions as well as professional and personal references.
ADS is lead by of an Executive Committee, consisting of six elected member officers, the immediate past-president, two elected members at-large and an executive director.
Outside of Dental Economics, ADS maintains a full-page display ad and a four page classified section in the bi-annual publication of the Dental Graduate magazine.
Each year, ADS presents a seminar series which is promoted and cosponsored by Dental Economics magazine. Since 2005, seminars have visited twelve cities throughout the country. Many of our members are frequent guest lecturers before dental societies, resident programs, dental fraternities, study clubs, dental schools, and some members conduct their own local seminar series.
ADS participates in national and local dental convention meetings as an exhibitor, including ADA, AGD, Yankee Dental, Greater New York, New York District Dental Meeting, Chicago Dental Society Mid-Winter and the Hinman Dental Meeting. Convention exhibitor participation is consistent throughout the country - we look forward to meeting you!
