History of Cosmetic Dentistry Academy of Nigeria Limited
History and Development
The Cosmetic Dentistry Academy of Nigeria Limited was founded by Dr. Monica Vincent Ajadalu, whose passion for mentoring dentists, promoting ethical cosmetic practice, and improving patient care helped shape a strong national platform for professional development.
The Academy was inaugurated on October 27, 2017, beginning with seven pioneer members. By January 31, 2018, membership had grown to fifteen and has continued to expand significantly, supported by an active WhatsApp and Zoom learning community. Hands-on lectures and seminars are scheduled to begin soon, both online and in person.
In 2018, the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) launched an international membership referral challenge. Through dedication and outreach, Dr. Ajadalu recorded the highest number of global referrals, winning the Member-Get-a-Member Award (2017–2018).
The award ceremony was held in Chicago on April 18, 2018, at McCormick Place, and was attended alongside colleagues Dr. Olabade Olayemi and Dr. Johnson Adetoye, former Faculty Chairman, Family Dentistry, National Postgraduate Medical College, Ijanikin, Lagos.
