Following 3 years of hard work, our Technical Director Mr Paul Gerrard DCP was recently awarded Accredited status with the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (BACD), at the 2011 annual conference in London.

The British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry is committed to promoting the practice of quality cosmetic dentistry, and has recently introduced credentials to allow its members to demonstrate that they have reached an agreed level of ability. This process has been designed by UK practitioners for UK dentists and technicians and therefore will be reflective of the way in which cosmetic dentistry is practiced in the UK.

The accreditation process has been designed to allow dentist and technicians to demonstrate that they have the ability to diagnose, plan and execute cosmetic treatment of the highest standard, and that this can be done safely, ethically and competently.

Paul is one of only 2 technicians in the UK to achieve this prestigious award, and looks forward to working with our clients to provide the highest levels of restorative dental care available.

Tutored by Mr Oliver Brix MDT, one of the worlds leading ceramists and master technicians, the hands on course focused on several all ceramic technologies, build up techniques and tooth morphology and serves to further our goal in offering the highest level of esthetics in our field.

Following the submission of a recent case for BACD technicians accreditation, we are very proud to note that this case has been featured in the 1st edition of the new BACD International Journal for Cosmetic Dentisty.

The work was carried out by our technical director Mr Paul Gerrard DCP and received a pass towards technicians accreditation.
