The Georgia Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry recently elected Darrell Morton, DMD, as president for the 2022 calendar year.
Dr. Morton practices at Advanced Cosmetic and Family Dentistry in Alpharetta, Ga. He is a strong proponent of continuing education and completes more than 200 hours of continuing education each year, according to an April 6 news release.
He is a member of the Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, Academy of Facial Esthetics, Academy of Implant Dentistry, International Congress of Oral Implantology, American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine and the American Academy of Oral Systemic Health.
Cosmetic dentistry has not yet been recognized as an official specialty by the American Dental Association, so there are no state or national regulations for practicing cosmetic dentistry. While there are no certification requirements for dentists, Georgia Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry provides training and networking opportunities for dentists.
