Welcome to the Lane County Dental Society (LCDS) Home Page.

We are the professional organization for dentists in Lane County in Oregon. Organized in 1914, the Society has over 200 members. Approximately 80% of the dentists in Lane County are members of our society and, as such, are subject to our Peer Review System and Code of Ethics. All of our members are also members of the Oregon Dental Association and the American Dental Association.

The Society has a staffed central office to provide information on current dental issues, act as a liaison to the community, and serve as a support to our member dentists.

We also provide a referral service to the public at no cost. Member dentists are in good standing with the Lane County Dental Society, the Oregon Dental Society, and the American Dental Association. In addition, they:

1. Have agreed to go through a peer review process in the event that a patient has a question about the quality of care. Peer review is available to the public at no charge. The Peer Review Committee only mediates cases concerning member dentists.

2. Have agreed to complete 40 clock hours of continuing education every two years as required by Oregon Dental Association.

The Lane County Dental Society is dedicated to furthering education, mutual support and better communication with the general public and member dentists. In 2007 the LCDS members donated approximately 350 hours of dental care to 2250 patients amounting in at least $120,000 worth of donated treatment. This is done through the member's individual offices, by participating in community events and by supporting White Bird Dental Clinic and the Assistance League of Eugene's Children's Dental Center.

It is our goal to provide this web site as a useful tool for dental information.

If you would like to contact us, please call or email our office. We look forward to hearing from you and welcome your comments, as we strive to serve the dental profession and public.
