President of ACDI

Welcome to the ACDI Annual Conference 2026 in Bengaluru!
Dear Delegates,

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the Annual Conference of the Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry India (ACDI) in beautiful Bengaluru. Our academy was established with the mission to promote high-quality dental education, emphasizing comprehensive care and elevating the standards of dental practice in our community.

As the President of ACDI, I am proud to uphold the core values of our parent body, the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD), particularly our commitment to responsible aesthetics. This principle guides everything we teach and practice, ensuring that patient oral health remains at the forefront of our endeavors.

This year, we are excited to collaborate with ConsAsia, an academy that closely aligns with our values and mission. Together, we aim to bring the world’s foremost educators to India, providing a unique opportunity for our peers and colleagues to learn from the best in the field.

Prepare for three transformative days filled with insightful lectures, hands-on workshops, and opportunities for networking and growth. We promise an experience like no other, designed to inspire and elevate your practice.

Welcome to a journey of learning and excellence. We look forward to seeing you there!
