“When I first learned of the process of accreditation, I knew it was something I wanted to achieve. My personal passion for my career was ignited by the challenge. I did not at the time realize of course exactly how difficult it would be or how long it would take. I actually thought I was a good cosmetic dentist. Over many years, Accreditation took me to a completely new level and taught me to evaluate my work entirely differently. I was humbled by the realization that I still had a lot to learn. However, I accepted the challenge, I did not give up, and by maintaining a focus which really resulted in enhanced patient care along the way, I travelled all over North America seeking the expertise of the best and brightest.

Accreditation has honed my knowledge and understanding of smile design, but more than that, I’ve found my life’s work to be more enjoyable than ever before. I remain absolutely thrilled and always grateful for the work that I do, the patients who have entrusted me to their care, and the staff that have supported me along the way. As well, I now have a wonderful network of colleagues and friends across North America who feel the same way as I do which has become a framework of support as well as intellectual growth. Dental school teaches a limited scope of cosmetic dentistry, so if you don’t seek out additional training, you can’t deliver the results you want to.
