2013 Survey of Dental Fees
Methodology
In accordance with a directive from the 1976 House of Delegates, the Survey Center is responsible for periodically
gathering and disseminating information regarding dental fees in the United States. The American Dental
Association’s (ADA) survey of fees charged by general practitioners and specialists is limited to the publication of
statistics gathered from a nationwide random sample of dentists, who were asked to record the fee most often
charged for each of 238 different dental procedures. The survey data should not be interpreted as
constituting a fee schedule in any way, and should not be used for that purpose. Dentists must establish
their own fees based on their individual practice and market considerations.
The procedure codes on the 2013 Survey of Dental Fees survey instrument and presented in the tables of this
report were taken from CDT 2013, the reference manual published by the ADA. The previous Survey of Dental
Fees used codes based on the 2011 edition of the manual; therefore, care should be taken when comparing data
in this report with data from previous ADA Surveys of Dental Fees or reports from other sources. CDT 2013
contains numerous updates and modifications to procedure codes, descriptors and common dental terms.
In this report, data for general practitioners are presented separately for each of the nine U.S. Census Divisions
and for the nation as a whole. Following the general practitioner data, national statistics are presented for six
dental specialties. The sample design used to select specialists did not provide a sufficient number of specialists
to allow for analysis by specialty at the divisional level. Statistics presented for each procedure include the number
of respondents, average, standard deviation and percentiles. The Glossary (separate page) includes definitions of
these statistics, all of which help indicate how fee answers varied for a given procedure in our survey. To ensure
statistical validity, at least 30 responses must have been received for each reported procedure. In both the general
practitioner and specialty sections, only those procedures that received 30 or more responses are included in this
report.
Sampling
The 2013 Survey of Dental Fees sample was selected from the ADA’s national sampling frame of active private
practitioners (“the population”), which includes member and non-member dentists. The sample, representing 7.4%
of the population, was a simple random probability sample of 13,052 dentists in private practice, of whom
approximately 60% were general practitioners and 40% were specialists.
Among active private practitioners in the sampling frame, specialists comprise only 18.5% of the total population.
To ensure enough responses from specialists to report reliable national data, specialists were oversampled with
respect to their proportion in the population. General practitioners from the New England and East South Central
divisions were also oversampled to ensure a sufficient number of responses.
Representativeness was determined by checking for statistically significant differences between the sample and
population on the following demographic characteristics using chi-square statistics and T-tests: division, primary
occupation, secondary occupation, specialty, race, ownership status, age, and graduation year. No statistically
significant differences were found between any of the subsamples of general practitioners and specialists and their
populations.
Data collection
The 2013 Survey of Dental Fees was initially mailed to 13,052 dentists in private practice in April 2013, and two
follow-up mailings to non-respondents were sent in May and June. Data collection was concluded in August 2013
after responses had been received from 2,198 dentists. The final adjusted response rate of 18.2% excludes those
individuals who were retired, not in private practice, deceased, or had unknown or foreign addresses.

Weighting
The proportion of oversampled dentists in the sample and among the respondents was higher than in the actual
population. To be able to make statements about all private practitioners, all general practitioners, or all
specialists, the proportion of general practitioners and specialists among the respondents had to match those of
the sample frame and the dental population as a whole. If left unbalanced, the statistics presented for all dentists,
all general practitioners, or all specialists would have been skewed by the disproportionate number of oversampled
dentists among the respondents and would not have been an accurate representation of the dental population
being analyzed.
In the sampling frame, 4.3% of dentists were New England general practitioners, 3.8% were East South Central
general practitioners, 73.4% were general practitioners from other divisions, 1.5% were prosthodontists, and 17.0%
were specialists other than prosthodontists. Among the respondents to the survey, 3.6% of dentists were New
England general practitioners, 4.3% were East South Central general practitioners, 51.3% were general
practitioners from other divisions, 3.0% were prosthodontists, and 37.8% were specialists other than
prosthodontists. Weights were calculated for these five sets of dentists to bring the proportions found among the
respondents into line with those found in the dental population.
In this report, the weights were used in the calculation of statistics in which all general practitioners were combined.
Weights were not used when a single division of general practitioners or a single specialty were analyzed
separately. Statistics computed with weights are indicated as such in the report.
Each weight was calculated by dividing the percentage of each in the sampling frame by the percentage in the
respondent population.
For example, when reporting all general practitioners combined, weighting had the effect of turning every
responding general practitioner from the New England division into 0.86847 general practitioners.

Glossary
AVERAGE The arithmetic average of all fees reported by the respondents, obtained by taking
the sum of all fees and dividing by the number of responses. It is possible that no
dentist reported charging a fee that is exactly equal to the average value. If the
distribution of fees is not symmetrical (that is, one half is not the mirror image of the
other), the median is a better indicator of the typical fee charged than the average.
CHI-SQUARE STATISTICS Chi-square statistics indicate, in the context of this report, whether the demographic
characteristics of a random sample occur with a distribution similar to that of the
population from which the sample is drawn.

and South Dakota.

MEDIAN A statistical measure that divides ranked numeric responses into halves. The
median is the response that falls at the fifty percent mark. The responses in one half
are all smaller than the median and those in the other half are all larger than the
median.
SIMPLE RANDOM PROBABILITY A simple random probability sample denotes a sample in which names are drawn at
SAMPLE random without replacement.
STANDARD DEVIATION (S.D.) The typical deviation of sample values from the mean. The size of the standard
deviation reflects the accuracy of the sample mean in representing the population.
In a normal population, 68.0% of the observations fall within one standard deviation
of the mean, 95.5% within two standard deviations, and 99.7% within three standard
deviations.
T-TESTS T-tests indicate, in the context of this report, whether the mean values of numeric
demographic characteristics (age, year of graduation) of a random sample are
statistically similar to those of the population from which the sample is drawn.
