ACCREDITATION

AND WHY IT MATTERS

Dr. LaCosse on his Accreditation

“Accreditation is the worldwide standard for excellence in cosmetic dentistry and to be able to provide this level of service to my patients has been one of the proudest achievements in my career.”

American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry
Accredited Member

AACD accreditation is the world’s most recognized advanced cosmetic dentistry credentialing program. Only around 400 dentists worldwide have received this prestigious distinction — and Dr. Hutchins is actively working toward joining that elite group as a current AACD member pursuing Accreditation.

To receive accreditation, a dentist’s cosmetic work is closely scrutinized, evaluated, and approved over the course of years by a group of the best cosmetic dentists in the world. It also goes beyond technique to demonstrate dedication to continuing education and responsible patient care.

Dr. Hutchins’ commitment to this rigorous process reflects the same standard of excellence Lake Dental has always stood for — meaning your smile will always get leading-edge dentistry.
