The primary benefits for dental dealers joining ADC are to improve their competitive position versus other national retail operations. ADC improves a Member's competitive position by effectively leveraging the collective
$400+ million in Member retail sales and control of
over 11% of the market to receive best terms available on selected products. In addition, ADC is proactive in developing services that provide the Members a market advantage or help to reduce Member operating costs.
ADC annually reviews manufacturers and their programs. ADC provides a service to its Members by contracting
with a limited number of manufacturers in order to focus members, deliver sales results on a national level, and maximize rebate income.
ADC also offers its Members services which typically are beyond the resources of similarly positioned dealers. These unique, value-added services are highlighted below.

ADC markets the Quala® brand of dental products exclusively through its Members.
Members are provided marketing tools necessary to successfully incorporate the promotion of the Quala line into their existing
marketing programs.
