ODA SERVICES CORP. PRODUCTS HELP KEEP PRACTICES RUNNING SMOOTHLY WHILE SAVING ON OVERHEAD COSTS
The ODA provides members with exclusive access to a variety of products and services through the ODA Services Corp. As an additional benefit, many of our endorsed products entitle ODA members to premium discounts.
The ODA Services Corp. Board thoroughly researches and tests products that might be of interest to dentists and then determines whether or not to endorse a product, service or company. The ODA Services Corp. currently endorses 21 products and services.
One of our most popular products is the ODA Wellness Trust, which provides health benefits to ODA members, their families and their staffs. Currently, the ODA Wellness Trust provides health benefits to over 3,100 enrollees.
The ODA Wellness Trust works to keep rates as low as possible while providing the type of high quality, broad-based coverage subscribers deserve. We offer a wide variety of benefit options, a large network of doctors and hospitals, and hands-on administrative support.
“The Ohio Dental Association Wellness Trust is a great product,” said Dr. Tom Kelly, a general dentist in Beachwood. “It is overseen by dentists, your colleagues, so we are sure that we get the best product for our practices, our family and our teams. And we have a great team at the ODA that is customer service for you so if you have any questions about your health benefits, what’s best for you, adding a team member, you have a live person, a friendly person, down in Columbus to help out with that.”
The ODA Wellness Trust is celebrating its 10-year anniversary. As a self-insured, private health plan, the ODA Wellness Trust is managed by ODA member dentists who are all enrolled in the plan. Whether through expanding coverage options, enhancing benefits, or providing increased flexibility during COVID-19 pandemic, the Board of Trustees has demonstrated agility and responsiveness in meeting the diverse health care needs of its members over the last 10 years.
Another popular opportunity is our group purchasing organization, OhioDDS. Created and operated by the ODA Services Corp., this free member-only program allows ODA dentists exclusive access to discounted pricing on dental supplies, equipment and services.
We partner with three strong vendors to provide OhioDDS participants with savings and discounts: Safco Dental, Kettenbach Dental and Cintas Corporation.
Members that use Safco Dental for even some of their regular purchases are seeing an average savings of 16% from their current supplier. OhioDDS members receive these guaranteed savings through Safco Dental:
- 10% Savings on National Brand products.
- 30% Savings on Safco Brand products.
“It has really made a huge difference on our Safco prices being part of OhioDDS,” said Dr. Courtney Kast, a general dentist in Port Clinton whose practice has been purchasing from Safco since before OhioDDS was formed. “I crunched numbers and in 2024 we saved just over $4,900 in our practice savings and so that has paid for our ODA membership twice, three times over. It is worth every penny to me, and I really enjoy being an ODA member and the benefits you get. Even the little things like savings on gloves, the daily supplies you need every day to run your practice, makes it all worth it.”
OhioDDS participants also receive exclusive discounts from our two other partners, Cintas and Kettenbach. Cintas provides first aid and safety products, uniform rentals and facility services. Kettenbach provides preventive and restorative consumables along with sleep dentistry and TMJ/TMD products.

Another popular company endorsed by the ODA Services Corp. is Best Card, which helps ODA members save on credit card processing fees. Thousands of dentists save an average of $6,671 or 28% annually on payment processing when they sign up with Best Card.
“We did some great research on what we were currently using verses what Best Card could do for us and it was a no brainer as far as going for it with Best Card,” Kelly said. “Great service, great pricing and great integration with our software for our patients. Our patients love it and we love it in our practice.”
Endorsed by 47 state dental associations, including the ODA Services Corp., Best Card offers great rates and unparalleled personalized customer service for credit card processing. Best Card offers a wide range of processing solutions designed for dental practices, from standalone terminals to online and mobile solutions, and options for posting payments into your dental software.
“The ODA Services Corp. has been an instrumental success in my practice,” said Dr. Brett Pelok, vice president of the ODA and vice chair of the ODA Services Corp. Board of Directors. “Partnering with Safco has saved my practice over five times the price of my tripartite membership! That’s the value of membership. The newly endorsed products Abyde, has made my office HIPAA and OSHA compliance effortless. The ODA, and ODA Services Corp., have helped make practice ownership smooth and simple. Membership in the ADA, ODA and Greater Toledo Dental Society has helped me practice not only as a solo practitioner, but rather as a group of nearly 5,000 partners along with the dedicated staff at the ODA!”
