The AACD offers dentistry’s most recognized advanced credentialing programs for dentists and dental laboratory technicians. AACD members who wish to become accredited must undergo a three-part process consisting of passing a written examination, passing testing of their actual clinical cases in key categories of cosmetic dentistry and passing an oral examination. Each candidate must also attend a series of workshops as part of the program. After achieving accredited status, AACD members may begin their journey toward Fellowship by submitting 50 clinical cases for review according to accreditation standards. Accredited Fellow status is considered the pinnacle of excellence in cosmetic dental artistry. Dr. Oppenheim’s smile designs have been featured on seven covers of the AACD’s prestigious quarterly Journal of Cosmetic Dentistry and he has won gold Medals in ten consecutive AACD International Smile Gallery Competitions, including “Best of Show” in Honolulu in 2002.
