Accreditation in Cosmetic Dentistry

In 1983, Dr. Morley saw the need for a standard mandate in the emerging field of cosmetic dentistry and led the establishment of the AACD Accreditation Program in 1985. Michael Miller, AACD developed the examination process for cosmetic dentistry, the first of its kind in the dental profession, and began offering postgraduate certification in this field in 1986. AACD accreditation has evolved into the leading cosmetic dentistry testing standards in dentistry, written and submission of actual cases in certain cosmetic dentistry disciplines. Credentials are available to dentists and laboratory technicians, worldwide. While the American Dental Association has not recognized cosmetic dentistry as a specialty, a court case in Florida, Ducoin v Viamonte determined that AACD accreditation is an official credential that can be announced by the dentist to the public.
