Dr. Sanders is the only Accredited Fellow (granted in 2018) and one of only nine dentists in the state of Tennessee to earn accreditation (granted in 2006) with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (FAACD) worldwide. She is the 81st Accredited Fellow. The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry is the world’s foremost authority on cosmetic dentistry.
Interestingly, patients are often unaware of the importance of FAACD accreditation and accredited fellow status.
Though any dentist may choose to be a member of the FAACD, only a select few go on to become one of the distinguished group to achieve accreditation and then accredited fellow status through the academy.
In fact, though there are more than 6,000 FAACD members worldwide, fewer than 500 have achieved accreditation. Of this number, Dr. Sanders was one of only nine in the state of Tennessee to achieve this accomplishment and in 2018, she became the only dentist in the state of Tennessee to be awarded Accredited Fellow status.
