- The 2018 Survey of Dental Fees sample was selected from the ADA’s national
sampling frame of active private practitioners, which includes member and
non-member dentists. The survey, representing 11.2% of the population, was a
simple random probability sample of 15,000 dentists in private practice, of
whom approximately 60% were general practitioners and 40% were
specialists.
Please note the survey data should not be interpreted in any
way as constituting a fee schedule, and should not be used for that
purpose.
