A credential you can check
The problem: “cosmetic dentist” is a claim anyone can make, and no register exists to check it against.
AACD accreditation takes a written examination in smile design, materials and occlusion, a set of submitted case studies judged on diagnosis and artistry, an oral examination on those cases, and two AACD workshops. Dr. Tang passed all of it in 1994 and is one of roughly 400 accredited dentists worldwide.
