The British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (BACD) is committed to the practice of cosmetic dentistry. They have recently introduced Accreditation, a non-compulsory method that demonstrates a particular level of competence reached by individuals.
Accredited Members will supply a 'gold-standard' service that reassures patients. The Accreditation accepts anonymous submission of clinical cases showing before and after pictures of those prepared by the candidate working independently.
There is a Viva examination where candidates are asked to produce a treatment plan following a diagnosis; they are then asked questions from examiners about the chosen treatments and methods. For more information contact Suzy Rowlands on 0208 241 8526 or email suzy@bacd.com.
