BACD Accreditation provides a rigorous, independently verified pathway for practitioners to demonstrate their ability to deliver cosmetic dental treatments at the highest standard.

Designed by UK practitioners for UK dentists and technicians, the Accreditation process assesses competency across a broad range of clinical skills. Candidates submit anonymously judged cases demonstrating their ability to diagnose, plan, and execute cosmetic dental treatment safely and ethically. Following successful case submissions, an examination tests treatment planning abilities and clinical decision making.

Accreditation confirms that practitioners possess the skills to deliver exceptional treatment every time. Successful candidates receive an Accreditation Plaque and the distinction of stating they are an Accredited Member of the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.

For potential patients of cosmetic dentistry, BACD Accreditation provides reassurance. For practitioners, it represents recognition of clinical excellence from Britain’s most respected cosmetic dentists.

Submission deadline: 1 September 2026
