After submitting signed rules and guidelines and completing the profile, ABDSM Diplomates and International Certificants are listed in the ABDSM’s public-facing Find-a-Diplomate directory and receive a framable certificate of status.

Additionally, the AADSM recognizes Diplomates and International Certificants who are AADSM members in its Find-an-AADSM-Dentist directory with a special icon denoting the status. Please allow up to two weeks following submission for the directories to be updated and the certificate to be mailed.  International Certificants receive their certificates via email.
 
Maintaining certification over time requires ongoing CE and payment of an annual administrative fee to the ABDSM. Click here for more information on Maintenance of Certification.
