ADA & APDP Form Strategic Alliance to Strengthen Private Practice Dentistry
ADA and APDP form a strategic alliance to strengthen private practice dentistry with mentorship, leadership, and the Seven Pillars of success.
The landscape of private practice dentistry is changing, and a new collaboration between two leading organizations promises to bring fresh opportunities for growth, mentorship, and support.
Earlier this year, the American Dental Association (ADA) and the Academy for Private Dental Practice (APDP) announced a landmark strategic partnership. Together, they are working to provide dentists with expanded resources - not just in clinical care, but in the areas that matter most to long-term success in practice ownership.
APDP focuses on what it calls the Seven Pillars of Private Practice Success:
- Business development
- Financial management
- Practice culture
- Clinical excellence
- Patient experience
- Leadership
- Mentorship
These are the foundations that help dentists build not only strong practices but also fulfilling careers. Combined with the ADA’s national reach and advocacy, this alliance is designed to help dentists at every stage - from new graduates to seasoned practice owners - find the tools, knowledge, and community they need.
At Dani Dental Laboratory, we see the difference when practices thrive in these areas. A strong practice culture, patient-centered care, and effective leadership directly influence the quality of dentistry and the partnerships we share with our doctors.
We’re excited to see how this new collaboration between the ADA and APDP strengthens private practice dentistry for the future.
