Cosmetic dentistry does more than improve your smile. Procedures such as cosmetic dental bonding, cosmetic dental crowns, porcelain veneers, and dental implants go along way when it comes to building a healthy smile. However, you need the right kind of cosmetic dentist to give you healthy teeth and gums that are beautiful at the same time.
The American Dental Association does not recognize cosmetic dentistry as a specialty. So technically, that means anyone who is licensed to be a dentist can practice cosmetic dentistry. Before you dive in head first, make sure you do your research. Talk to your dentist and find out what his or her credentials are before you agree to porcelain veneers or clear braces.
Why An Accredited Cosmetic Dentist?
To become accredited with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, also known as the AACD, a dentist needs to have continued education while being responsible for patient care.
The AACD was formed in 1984 and has become the world’s largest dental organization. The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry has over 6,000 members in 80 + countries. The AACD expects the highest standards when it comes to cosmetic dentistry and expects the same from Accredited Members and Accredited Fellows.
What it Takes to Be Accredited with the AACD
AACD members have access to training and education on the latest cosmetic dental techniques, products, and services. Because of this, all members of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry are a step ahead of dentists who are not members of the AACD.
When you decide to become a patient with an AACD member, you know immediately that your new cosmetic dentist cares enough about his or her profession to stay up to date and informed on the latest procedures available.
Becoming accredited with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry means that Dr. Ringer understands everything there is about cosmetic dentistry and is prepared to go the extra mile to bring smiles to every one of his patients.
While becoming an accredited professional dentist with the AACD is quite rigorous, becoming an Accredited Fellow is even more so. Accredited Members of the AACD are required to complete additional courses, written examinations and document clinical cases.
