Don’t all dentists do cosmetic dentistry?
Don’t all dentists do cosmetic dentistry? Any dentist doing tooth-colored fillings can say they do cosmetic dentistry. Your job as an educated consumer is to have them show you photographs of patient cases they have done and more than one or two cases of cosmetic dentistry in Asheville, NC.
Why is it important to see an Accredited Dentist ?
Accredited dentists have proved to experts that they can do cosmetic procedures at a high level of expertise. Third-party validation is very important in an environment where anyone can claim anything on a website.
Dr. Highsmith and Dr Jernigan, your cosmetic dentists in Clyde, are one of nine AACD (American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry) accredited members in the entire state of North Carolina and the only one in western North Carolina. There are over six thousand AACD members but only about 396 accredited members worldwide.
The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (aacd.com) requires advanced skills and artistic eyes in its rigorous program for accreditation. Many dentists who start the AACD accreditation journey do not finish. Dentists submit to an expert panel their thoroughly-documented cases of high proficiency in cosmetic dentistry in Asheville, each a different facet of cosmetic mastery. It takes years to complete, and the bar is set very high. Extremely picky examiners scrutinize each case, trying to find anything wrong.
The bottom line: AACD-accredited dentists have proven themselves at the highest levels of cosmetic artistry. This level of proficiency is reflected in their practice of cosmetic dentistry in Asheville, NC. They deliver what they say they can, to a very high degree. This is different from running an ad saying you do cosmetic dentistry. It’s about credibility.
