Transcript of 2012 Showcase of Excellence
AACD Congratulates the Accreditation “Class of 2012”!
It is achievable!
In 25 years, 356 members of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry have completed its rigorous credentialing process. It’s the rarified air of dentistry’s
most accomplished practitioners and laboratory technicians.
The process is designed to give dental professionals the chance to learn, grow and interact with colleagues working toward the same goal. It requires successful completion of a written examination, an oral examination, and multiple clinical case submissions.
Becoming an AACD Accredited dentist or laboratory technician helps provide better care to their patients and clients and distinguishes their practices and labs within their communities.
While becoming an Accredited member is a significant accomplishment, there is more—becoming an Accredited Fellow!
Fellowship is the highest level of achievement in the AACD credentialing process. Only 58 members in history have achieved this status. In 2012, we warmly welcomed two new members to Accredited Fellow status—Drs. C. Lee Wyant and Susan Hollar.
On the pages to follow, discover the amazing clinical accomplishments of dental professionals in the Newly Accredited and Accredited Fellow Showcase of Excellence.

Accreditation is a true reflection of the collaborative spirit that fuels the Academy. It’s education, inspiration, motivation, and profitability. If you
are not already in the process, set a goal to become Accredited. If you are not an Accredited Fellow, set a goal to become an Accredited Fellow, not for status or recognition, but for the enhanced clinical skills you will gain. It’s not just about the credential, it’s about the knowledge you will gain along the way.
For more information about AACD Accreditation and Fellowship, please visit www.AACD.com/Accreditation or call 800.543.9220.
A true reflection
Accreditation is not only a goal to be achieved, but a personal commitment to excellence recognized and celebrated by the dental community, our peers and most importantly, our patients. Congratulations on accepting the challenge!
