Cosmetic dentist Dr. James Klim, of Santa Rosa, CA, has won multiple awards in the 11th Annual American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) National Smile Gallery competition, sponsored by Americus Dental Labs, Inc., for exhibiting outstanding skill in cosmetic dental procedures. Dr. Klim’s work was selected at the organization’s 21st Annual Scientific Session in Nashville, Tennessee. Dr. Klim was awarded two gold medals and a silver medal for three separate cases.
"I am happy to carry on the AACD’s tradition of superior smile design and changing people’s lives through cosmetic dentistry," commented Dr. Klim.
Dr. Klim would like to acknowledge lab technicians, Brad Jones and Kathrine Milne, for their assistance in the design and creation of the award-winning entry. The creation of a dynamic smile requires the input of all aspects of cosmetic dentistry, from molding the appropriate tooth to affixing the correct veneer.
The Annual AACD Smile Gallery Competition awards winners in six categories based upon technical skill in cosmetic dentistry, including: Missing Anterior Tooth Restorations, Indirect Restorations, Direct Restorations, Single Unit Anterior or Posterior Esthetics, Portrait, and Special Effects. Additionally, awards of “Best of Show” and the People’s Choice Award are given to those cases that particularly stand out as premier casework in cosmetic dentistry. All entries are submitted anonymously by members of the AACD.
