The American Society for Dental Aesthetics (ASDA)

The American Society for Dental Aesthetics (ASDA) was founded in 1976 by Dr. Irwin Smigel, the late president of the organization. Internationally acknowledged as the "Father of Aesthetic Dentistry," Dr. Smigel earned this celebratory moniker from his peers for his work in establishing and contributing to the field of cosmetic dentistry. His leadership began in 1970 when he created the bonding technique. He was at the forefront of numerous significant developments in cosmetic dentistry, including porcelain veneers, laminates, teeth whitening, and enhancing patients' facial structure through dental techniques.

ASDA's goal is to promote continuous learning among our international network of cosmetic and restorative dentists. By enriching the skills of Their members and the profession at large, they can better serve their patients. They strive to reach these goals through Their unique conferences.
