Ask for aesthetic credentials.

Your dentist should be a member of or accredited by a major dental association such as the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) and the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD). AGD and AACD members care about their patients' long-term oral health and satisfaction with their new smile. That is why they participate in numerous continuing education programs to learn about the latest dental technology, materials, and procedures to improve their clinical knowledge and technical skills.
