Serving the profession since 2015
Dental Office Managers Association of Canada
We are the national association built for and by dental office administrators, managers and consultants. We set the standards for the profession, certify the people who practise it, and connect them to each other.
Connect
Join dentistry leaders facing the same issues and the same barriers. Whatever your week looks like, someone in this community has already had it.
Educate
Webinars, reading and practical resources that keep you current on billing, insurance, regulation and practice management as they change.
Empower
Certification, events and an active national community, so the expertise you have built is recognised well beyond your own front desk.
Why we exist
How we help you succeed
In an effort to standardise the practice of dental office management, DOMAC draws on education, experience and the power of community. We are here to guide you through the challenges of the role and to help you reach and exceed your goals.
Our vision is to uphold dental office management as a respected profession — and to make sure that nobody in it has to work alone.
National certification
Three designations. One national standard.
Each designation confirms that you have demonstrated mastery of the competencies your role actually requires. Certification is voluntary and is not required to work in the profession.

For educators
We accredit dental office administration programs
DOMAC is the national accrediting body for dental office administration education in Canada. Accreditation tells students and employers that a program meets a national standard, and graduates become eligible to challenge our certification examinations.
Accredit your programFor students
Find an accredited program
Look for our accreditation seal on dental office administrator programs. It confirms the program has been reviewed and accredited by DOMAC, and that it prepares you for national certification.

CDCP and NIHB, kept current
The Canadian Dental Care Plan and Non-Insured Health Benefits raise questions at the front desk every day. We keep the official fact sheets, posters and newsletters in one place, in English and French, and link straight to the Government of Canada sources so the information stays authoritative.
