Excellence, and both levels of the Louisiana State University
Cosmetic Dentistry Continuums.

According to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry
(AACD) an Accredited member “has completed extensive
training and education in cosmetic dentistry. In addition,
this credentialed
dentist or technician has successfully passed a rigorous Accreditation
Board Examination and has demonstrated a very high level
of technical
skill and ability in cosmetic dentistry.”
Presently there is not an American Dental Association (ADA) recognized
specialty in cosmetic dentistry. In 1984 the AACD was formed by
a group of forward-thinking individuals, dedicated to continuing
education in the rapidly evolving field of cosmetic dentistry
since it was not being taught in the dental schools. The AACD
developed a credentialing process for cosmetic dentistry, which
has become the standard of excellence in the field (aacd.com).
Dr. Arnold’s expertise has been published in the highly
acclaimed Journal of Cosmetic Dentistry, which sets the standards
in cosmetic dentistry.
Cosmetic dentistry is not a sideline for Dr. Arnold. Most general
dentists will dabble in some cosmetic dentistry from time to time.
Dr. Arnold does cosmetic dentistry everyday and has performed
thousands of porcelain veneers, which are the premier cosmetic
restoration used in smile makeovers. |
