WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A COSMETIC DENTIST

If you are searching for a cosmetic dentist, there are a few things that you should research. All cosmetic dentists practicing in the United States today should have a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree (DDS) or Doctor of Dental Medicine degree (DMD). The cosmetic dentist should be a member of the American Dental Association (ADA) as well as being affiliated with a local and state Dental Society. He/She should be a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentists (AACD) and be an accredited or non-accredited member. An accredited member is a Dentist who has passed an examination sponsored by the AACD. He/She should be able to show you "before" and "after" photographs of a patient’s smile that has been restored by the Dentist.

Other ways to distinguish a cosmetic dentist should include referencing academic appointments to dental schools and other academic institutions which have been attended by the cosmetic dentist. Publications written by the cosmetic dentist, affiliations with professional societies, participation in dental residency programs and post-graduate courses completed should also be checked by the prospective patient.
