Louisville Cosmetic Dentistry reaches World Class Level

    /24-7PressRelease/ - LOUISVILLE, KY, May 03, 2007 - Christian W. Hahn, DDS, AAACD and Charles W. Vittitow, DMD, AAACD have achieved accredited status in the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) - joining just 260 dentists in the world who have earned this distinction, and are now the only AACD accredited dentists in Louisville. Dr. Hahn and Vittitow reached this status through their relentless pursuit of the most demanding postgraduate credentials and their mastery of the highest level of clinical skill and aesthetic artistry in cosmetic dentistry.

According to the AACD, "An Accredited Member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry has completed extensive advanced training and education in cosmetic dentistry. In addition, this credentialed dentist has successfully passed a rigorous Accreditation Board Examination. An Accredited Member is a dentist who has demonstrated a very high level of technical skill and ability in cosmetic dentistry."

Dr. Hahn and Vittitow reflected on their achievement stating "Accreditation has clearly been the most challenging learning process we have ever pursued but going through this protocol has equipped us to provide the level of skill that we believe every patient deserves when entrusting a dentist to irreversibly change their smile."

Through the AACD's advanced credentialing program for dentists, AACD members who wish to become accredited must undergo a three-part process consisting of a written board examination, submission of clinical cases for evaluation, and a comprehensive oral examination. Dentists aspiring to become accredited must also complete multiple academic and clinical training curricula in such topics as diagnostic photography and the elements of smile design. The entire process takes between three and five years depending on the individual and is considered by many to be the pinnacle of achievement for cosmetic dentists.

Drs. Christian W. Hahn and Charles W. Vittitow practice cosmetic and advanced restorative dentistry at 106 N. Watterson Trail, Louisville, KY 40243 (in Middletown) and may be contacted by telephone at (502) 244-0097, or via their informative website: www.IdealDentistry.com.
