The Vancouver & District Dental Society (VDDS) is a non-profit organization located in the city of Vancouver BC that serves the Greater Vancouver dental community and beyond. Established in 1908, it is the oldest and largest dental component society in the province.

The purpose of the society is to: 1) provide its members with opportunities for quality continuing dental education; 2) foster fraternal relationships; 3) provide a forum for discussion and support; and 4) encourage its members to continually strive for higher standards of excellence in dental practice.

The Vancouver and District Dental Society is recognized by the College of Dental Surgeons of British Columbia and traditionally has offered 35-40 hours of CE credit hours per season, enough to fulfill requirements for a three year cycle of Dental Continuing Education.

The Vancouver and District Dental Society offers a variety of “Memberships”value packages of quality Dental Continuing Education to accommodate all schedules. VDDS has expanded its membership to include all Oral Health Professionals: Dentists, Assistants, Hygienists, Staff, Dental Lab Technicians, Denturists and Dental Therapists.

VDDS CE courses are also available on an individual “Non-Membership” basis. All VDDS Live and Online CE events, as well as Travel with a CE Component are open to all Oral Health Professionals.

With a history that spans over 113 years, VDDS is more than just an organization for quality dental CE. With members ranging from new and recent graduates to long time members and life members who possess a wealth of knowledge and experience, the society provides a platform for dental professionals at all levels to come together for meaningful conversations, learning and socializing. Hosting a variety of innovative educational and social events throughout the season, including travel and theatre/special events, VDDS is a friendly community and support network that offers its members the opportunity to build professional relationships and long lasting friendships conducive for idea sharing, mentorship and exploring associate positions and other career potential and possibilities.

With professional development and social connection as the cornerstone of the society, VDDS continues to be relevant with its in-person meet up format and its new online format featuring Live and On-Demand Webinars.

VDDS offers a “real” community that supports a dentist’s journey at every step of his or her career!
