ABAD Mission

The mission of the American Board of Aesthetic Dentistry is to:

Establish and promote standards of care in Aesthetic Dentistry
Define a universally acceptable criteria for accomplished aesthetic dentists to demonstrate in an objective manner the achievements of their technical expertise
Recognize those individuals who have fulfilled established criteria in aesthetic dentistry
Provide a registry of those persons who have fulfilled the established criteria in aesthetic dentistry

Our History

The American Board of Aesthetic Dentistry was established in 1993 by the American Society for Dental Aesthetics. Dr. Irwin Smigel, Dr. Paul Belvedere and Dr. George Freedman spearheaded its formation with the goal of certifying Diplomates who had demonstrated their abilities before their peers. Though not recognized as a specialty by the American Dental Association, it was felt that an organization that patterned its requirements after other board specialties should be established. The organization would serve as model for a future recognized specialty.
