AACD Fellowship

We are proud to announce that Dr. Marc L. Montgomery officially became an Accredited Fellowed Member of the AACD on November 18, 2014. He received his medallion on-stage from the Fellowship Chairman of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry in May of 2015. This is the highest dental credential that can be attained in the AACD.

Where accreditation requires passing 5 highly complex esthetic clinical cases, Fellowship requires passing 45 of 50 highly complex esthetic clinical cases. These 50 cases need to address a variety of different problems with anterior teeth ranging from broken teeth, worn teeth to crowded and missing teeth. The end results need to look completely ideal, natural and undetectable. This credential proves that all Fellowed dentists have the skill to create and perform at a high level a wide variety of challenging esthetic procedures.

He is now one of 3 in the state of Minnesota and 1 of 80 in the world that has achieved this highest level since 1984 (when this credentialing process has started). Now being Fellowed with the AACD, Dr. Montgomery joins the best of the best in the world in esthetic restorative dentistry.
