Mission Statement of the American Academy of Dental Group Practice


The American Academy of Dental Group Practice is guided by the conviction that the leaders who create, shape, and advance group practices are among the most forward-thinking innovators in dentistry. We believe these individuals are united by a commitment to delivering exceptional, patient-centered care—care that meets or exceeds the standards of all other practice models—and to ensuring that such care is accessible to every segment of the population. We further believe that group practice offers a uniquely powerful avenue for providing dental services that are more efficient, more cost-effective, and more readily available to patients, while also fostering professional fulfillment and financial sustainability for dentists.
