The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) has launched a website to help educate consumers about cosmetic dentistry and raise awareness of the importance of seeking out an AACD-accredited or member dentist for treatment.
"There are currently many different cosmetic dentistry treatment options for patients, and this website enables the consumer to learn more about these procedures through a less intimidating, more consumer-friendly fun way," said Jack Ringer, DDS, AACD president.
The Your Smile Becomes You website content includes the following:
- A personalized smile analysis tool that uses Facebook to determine what your smile says about your personality
- A photo gallery where users can upload their smile personality and view the personalities of other users that have also used the analyzer
- A step-by-step quiz to help consumers determine the procedures that could improve their smiles
- An educational section with consumer-friendly videos showcasing cosmetic dentistry procedures available to patients, such as bonding, veneers, and whitening
The website also features a cosmetic dentist locator that allows users to find an AACD-ccredited or member dentist practicing near them.
