What AACD Accreditation and Dr. Desai's Examiner Role Really Mean to You?
Your smile matters. That's the reason why you need more than a good dentist. You're looking for someone who's not only precise but also artistic and highly trained, with results that appear natural, feel good, and last. It is what Dr. Desai applies to each and every dental appointment she sees, and also it is what her accreditation with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) attests to.
The Golden Award in Cosmetic Dentistry
The AACD accreditation is a highly sought-after, peer-reviewed process that marks excellence in cosmetic dental practice. This is a distinction that only 490 dentists worldwide can boast about, and only one in Newport Beach.
- Peer-reviewed cases
- Elite global credential
- Artistic + technical mastery
A Multi-Step Process That Tests Skill, Artistry, and Clinical Judgment
Accreditation is not a weekend program or a membership payment; it is a commitment that will take several years to complete and be dedicated to becoming the best physician’s assistant that you can be. Dr. Desai underwent a thorough written examination, practical tutorials, and a full study of clinical case histories to be accredited. She was assessed at the end of the process through an oral exam where she was presenting, with the patients' permission, the work she had done on her patients to a panel of top cosmetic dentists. Not only her technical results, but also all of her diagnostic, material, technique, and long-term planning.
All of her work was done to the highest standards in her profession, and she passed with distinction.
A Leadership Role Reserved for the Best in Cosmetic Dentistry
After obtaining the accreditation, Dr. Desai went further and earned his PhD in Economics.
You're putting your trust in the hands of the best in the profession.
You select Dr. Desai for cosmetic dentistry; you select a worldwide acknowledged specialist in the field, and a specialist who is trusted by her peers to be able to assess and maintain the gold standard of care. Her work is not only top-notch, but it is also the kind of work other top dentists strive for.
As a patient, it means:
You're getting a smile crafted by someone who's been properly trained and has an artistic flair in their work.
All materials, methods, and plans are selected to be healthy and beautiful for the long term.
Your results are being led by a standard setter, not just a follower.
