Professional Fee
To become and remain NIFDE Certified, there is an annual professional fee of $425. This professional fee covers a dental facility and one dentist (typically the owner or managing dentist of such facility). The term begins on the date of NIFDE Certification and expires on the one year anniversary of such.

Additional Provider Professional Fee
For those dental facilities that have more than one dentist and/or hygienist, it is recommended that NIFDE Certification be obtained for each additional provider. To have an additional provider become NIFDE Certified, there is a $125 annual professional fee for each additional provider. Additional providers may apply at the time of the initial application for NIFDE Certification for the dental facility or anytime thereafter.

If you are applying for additional provider(s) with the initial application for NIFDE Certification, simply complete the Additional Provider Profile included in the initial application. Should you require such, use as many Additional Provider Profiles as necessary for your dental facility and return such with the NIFDE Application. Remember, the professional fees established are for one dental facility (and one managing dentist), so a separate professional fee is required for each dental facility in the event that a dentist owns more than one dental facility. The professional fee does not include the cost of an NIFDE Award, as such may be ordered separately.

If you are a provider applying for NIFDE Certification and you are part of a dental facility already NIFDE Certified, simply complete the Additional Provider Application.

Fees For NIFDE Awards
The cost for each NIFDE Award is $60, plus the costs of shipping and handling. Each NIFDE Award is handcrafted and shipped directly from the NIFDE Award Center. From the time of achieving NIFDE Certification, allow 2 to 3 weeks for delivery of your NIFDE Awards.
