Philadelphia accredited cosmetic dentist Dr. Michael Weiss is one of six dentists in Pennsylvania who has achieved accreditation status.
What Does Accreditation Involve?
Established in 1984, the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) is dedicated to advancing and promoting excellence in cosmetic dentistry and encouraging the highest standards in patient care. AACD members have a commitment to continuing education in cosmetic dentistry. The AACD provides education, training, and accreditation opportunities.
Fewer than 400 dentists worldwide have achieved this accreditation status. It requires the following steps:
- Pass the accreditation written examination
- Extensively complete, document with high-resolution photography, and submit five different types of cosmetic dentistry clinical cases that adhere to the high standards established by the AACD
- Pass an oral examination administered by the American Board of Cosmetic Dentistry
There is a fairly high failure rate for these examinations, and many dentists who aspire to be thought of as cosmetic dentists are intimidated by the process and never attempt it. But for those who pass the examinations, it is often a career-changing experience.
