Cosmetic Dentist - Lafayette, Colorado
What is a DDS?
(Doctor of Dental Surgery)
It generally takes eight years to become a dentist: four years to earn a bachelor's degree as an undergraduate and four years to earn a DDS or DMD in dental school. Upon graduation from dental school, the dentist must pass Dental Licensure Exams before they can practice.
What is an MAGD Credential?
(Master of the Academy of General Dentistry)
Did you know that the education and hands-on training a dentist has can be very different? All dentists complete a 4 year graduate-level dental school program to achieve a DDS or DMD credential and then must pass Dental Licensure Exams.
But there is actually advanced training available to dentists after dental school. The MAGD is the Academy of General Dentistry's highest honor and one of the most respected designations within the profession. To achieve, it requires at least 1,100 hours of advanced dental training. A DDS MAGD means that the dentist has acquired the highest level of accreditation to be able to practice.
Because of the high standards and the effort required, less than 2% of dentists reach this level of achivement. Why wouldn't you use an MAGD accredited dentist (like Dr. Dawn) to provide the very best dental care to you and your family?
What is AAACD Accreditation?
(Accredited Member, American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry)
Did you know cosmetic dentistry is not a board recognized specialty? Because of this, ANY dentist can call themselves a "Cosmetic Dentist" but they may not be an Accredited Cosmetic Dentist.
The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) is recognized as the leading organization dedicated to excellence in cosmetic dentistry. This designation is quite prestigious and requires a rigorous process, including passing a written examination, submitting a portfolio of work, and demonstrating proficiency in cosmetic procedures. Because of the high standards and the effort required, less than 1% of dentists in the United States have achieved Accredited status from the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD).
Why wouldn't you use an AACD Accredited Dentist (like Dr. Dawn) to ensure you receive your very best smile!?
