Where Art Meets Science: The AACD Advantage

Not All Dentists Are the Same. Here’s What Sets AACD Experts Apart.

The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) is dedicated to advancing excellence in the art and science of comprehensive cosmetic dentistry while encouraging the highest standards of ethical conduct and responsible patient care. Founded in 1984 with just 60 dentists, the AACD has grown into the world’s largest organization for cosmetic dental professionals, including members from 70 countries worldwide.

AACD members are recognized as professionals dedicated to continually improving their skills and knowledge. They are committed to evidence-based protocols, minimally invasive treatments, and interdisciplinary approaches that prioritize long-term patient health.

For dentists, AACD Accreditation represents the pinnacle of achievement in cosmetic dentistry, demonstrating exceptional skill, knowledge, and commitment to excellence that sets them apart in their profession. Dr. Chris Givens is one of only seven doctors in Tennessee honored with this distinction.
