As the first part of accreditation, this exam is designed to test applicants' foundational knowledge, with a particular emphasis on aesthetics. If the applicant passes this exam, they can proceed to the next step in the process.
During the clinical case submissions portion of the accreditation, dentists have the opportunity to demonstrate their diagnostic skills and clinical excellence. In addition to passing the written exam, applicants must also attend two workshops before this step. Once they have qualified, doctors must complete five case types that demonstrate excellence in a range of dental disciplines. The five required case types are:
Following the completion of the written examination and the submission of the required clinical cases, the AACD administers an oral examination to verify and authenticate the dentist's casework and to evaluate their treatment abilities.
During the exam, doctors are tested on their knowledge and familiarity with diagnosis, treatment planning, materials, and various techniques. Once the dentist has successfully completed the oral examination phase, they will become an Accredited Member of the AACD.
Becoming an Accredited Member of the AACD represents a doctor's skill, knowledge, and dedication as a leader in the field of cosmetic dentistry. The accreditation process is held in high esteem throughout the dental community and is universally recognized as the gold standard in cosmetic dentistry.

Every time dentistry comes up in conversation, I tell people that I have the best dentist's office. Visiting Dr. Rink's office is like going to a spa. I'm always happy with my experience (and we all know that the dentist is not always fun). But the entire team is kind, warm, and attentive. And they do a wonderful job!

Dr. Rink and his staff are amazing. They genuine care about the patients needs and it's shows. I got my veneers done by Dr. Rink and I was very emotional after it done. He said to me "those are good tears, we love to see it." Overall fantastic experience.

First trip to Dr. Rink's office. The staff was incredible and the experience was the best trip to the dentist I have ever made in my life. And that comes from a person who hates going to the dentist. Hats off to Dr. Rink and his entire staff. World-class operation.

Yesterday my wife got home from her first appt. with you, and she relayed her extreme satisfaction! Said it was the best dental office experience she'd ever had! Here's some of her feedback: the lobby is like a luxury hotel, the entire staff couldn't have been friendlier, and the hygienist cleaned her teeth better than anyone ever had! Too, Dr. Rink is extremely knowledgeable but down-to-earth, you use the most state-of-the-art equipment/treatments, and everyone there spent extra time (ensuring my wife was well-cared-for and all her questions were thoroughly addressed). Icing on the cake, for my loved one, was when offered refreshments, a warm blanket, & even a neck pillow!

Dr. Rink just completed a restoration of my front teeth. I had issues with old crowns and discoloration on the adjacent teeth. Yesterday I had my crowns and veneers finished ! I am so pleased with the results. Dr. Rink and his team made sure everything was perfect and we're patient and professional throughout the process. Dr. Rink is an artist in his field and the employees at Charleston Center for Cosmetic Dentistry share his enthusiasm for giving their patients the perfect smile.

Dr Rink and his staff are awesome! From the ladies at the front desk, to Colleen my hygienist, to Dr Rink himself. They are personable, thorough, and very talented. Dr Rink does an extremely thorough exam after getting my teeth cleaned. He is knowledgeable about the latest going on in the dental field and makes you feel real comfortable. Colleen, my hygienist, does such a great job cleaning my teeth. She uses all the latest in dental technology and it is such a pleasure seeing her every 3 months. Courtney and the ladies in the front office go out of their way to accommodate my schedule when making my appt. They are all really sweet and always so cheerful and kind. I obviously can't say enough good things about this dental team. I recently moved to SC from Florida and I am so thankful I found their practice!

Wonderful caring group of professionals. Love Dr. Rink. He has been my dentist for years. He is caring and compassionate. All the staff of hygienists, and office staff are terrific. Today, I had a crown done. It went very well. Thank you Dr. Rink and his wonderful staff are beyond any other dental group. They are like a family of caring, compassionate, and extremely talented dental caregivers. Dr. Rink is so talented in his abilities and knowledge in caring for his patients. His dental artistry is phenomenal. He has been my dentist for years. I cannot imagine trusting anyone else with my oral health. He took extra time to sit down with me to explain every part of my procedure with no pressure for me to proceed that day. He understood my concerns and totally put my mind at ease. Once again, I was not disappointed. He cares about the whole patient...not just oral health. Dr. Rink and his entire staff always make me feel important and like a part of their family. Even with the unpleasantness of some dental procedures, I actually enjoy being there. Dr. Rink and his staff make it as pleasant as possible. Thank you again to the best of the best in Cosmetic Dentistry and oral health. I love you all. Another wonderful visit with this incredible dental practice. Dr. Rink, the hygenists, and all the office staff are incredible! Thank you to those that help make smiles.
