History
In December of 1984, 60 dentists answered the call of AACD founder Dr. Jack Kammer and co-founder Dr. Jeff Morley, meeting in Las Vegas to create an organization devoted to the art and science of cosmetic dentistry. From this small gathering, the AACD has matured into the world's largest organization for cosmetic dental professionals. The AACD now includes more than 6,000 dental professionals, laboratory technicians, educators, and researchers from 70 countries worldwide.
Accreditation, the Journal of Cosmetic Dentistry, and AACD's Annual Scientific Session have solidified the Academy's position as the leading cosmetic dental organization in the world. The 2027 event is the 43rd Annual Scientific Session, following the 42nd session held April 16–18, 2026, at the JW Marriott Miami Turnberry Resort & Spa in Aventura, Florida.
