The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD), founded in December 1984 by Dr. Jack Kammer and Dr. Jeff Morley, is the world's largest organization for cosmetic dental professionals.
The AACD stated mission is as follows: offering educational opportunities; promoting and supporting an accreditation credential; serving forum for the exchange of knowledge and ideas; and providing information to the public and the profession.
The AACD includes over 7000 practitioners, educators, researchers and laboratory technicians from 70 countries. This global perspective allows AACD members to gather information from the international field of cosmetic dentistry. With the formation of the Accreditation and Fellowship Programs, the AACD began offering postgraduate certification in cosmetic dentistry to both dentists and laboratory technicians.

“The compulsion to do good is an innate American trait. Only North Americans seem to believe that they always should, may, and actually can choose somebody with whom to share their blessings. Ultimately this attitude leads to bombing people into the acceptance of gifts.”
—Ivan Illich (b. 1926)
“...I have come to make distinctions between what I call the academy and literature, the moral equivalents of church and God. The academy may lie, but literature tries to tell the truth.”
—Dorothy Allison (b. 1949)
