The European Academy of Esthetic Dentistry was founded in 1986 in Geneva, Switzerland.

The mission of the Academy is to promote the pursuit of excellence in dental esthetics, to provide leadership in the profession by defining the highest ethical standards, and to foster interdisciplinary communication and research through publications and educational presentations. Social interaction and friendship across national borders is recognized as having an important role to play in maintaining the awareness of the high esthetic principles demanded within the profession and for the public.

The Academy has attracted members from most European countries who are recognized as being amongst the leaders in their profession and internationally known for their clinical and educational abilities. The annual Congresses are attended by an international audience which is not limited by the borders of the European Community.
