The term "cosmetic dentist" was coined in the early nineties, when new developments of dental materials and techniques allowed the dental profession to ethically offer cosmetic solutions that fulfilled all of the tradional requirements while making dentistry much more aesthetic.
Today, a cosmetic dentist is a dentist who expresses interest in cosmetic dentistry. This does not mean that he received a specific training of "cosmetic dentistry." A cosmetic dentist is merely a general dentist. A dental professional who considers himself to be a cosmetic dentist has usually attended scientific meetings or clinical workshops about cosmetic dentistry. Their skill is based on their training level and experience.

There is only one group of cosmetic dentists worldwide that has actually validated its expertise. It is done through an accreditation process by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. This aacreditation process to demonstrate the skill and knowledge of a cosmetic dentist is very challenging, and only a few pass.
A cosmetic dentist who had proven his high standards objectively in front of a commission of well-experienced and accredited cosmetic dentists who understand their responsibility to the public understands all aspects of the science of cosmetic dentistry. As of June of 2009, Dr. Rabanus is the only practicing dentist in San Francisco, who is accredited by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.

Dr. Rabanus' primary focus and devotion is to allow anyone who comes to him for a consultation to make an educated choice. He calls it "community service." While he is happy if patients ask him for treatment, he enjoys helping patients to know more about their teeth and their options. Even though his consultations are complimentary, they are also very thorough. So, feel free to contact him by sending him an e-mail or calling our toll-free number.
