The path to professional distinction is built one step at a time. For many general dentists, that path leads to recognition through the Academy of General Dentistry. If earning the prestigious AGD Fellowship and Mastership awards, or Lifelong Learning and Service Recognition is one of your goals, now is the time to take action.

To be recognized at the AGD2026 Convocation Ceremony at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, all program requirements and a completed application must be submitted by December 31, 2025. This deadline is critical: it is your path to joining colleagues who have demonstrated an exceptional commitment to continuing education, lifelong learning, and service to the profession.

AGD’s recognition programs are more than credentials—they reflect dedication to clinical excellence, professional growth, and the highest standards of general dentistry. Whether you are finalizing CE credits for Fellowship, advancing toward Mastership, or qualifying for Lifelong Learning and Service Recognition, the work you have already completed brings you closer than you may think.

AGD offers robust resources to assist you. From CE tracking tools and transcripts to guidance on application requirements and staff support, AGD is committed to helping make your goal a reality. These resources are designed to simplify the process and keep you focused on what matters most: your professional development, supporting thriving practices, and providing exceptional care.
