What Does Accreditation Involve?
- Leederville Dental practice has undertaken what’s known as ADA practice accreditation.
- In short, that means that the staff at our practice have undergone a process to meet a strict set of standards that commit them to continuously improving the safety and quality of the care they deliver to patients.
- Why does it matter?
- Unlike public sector colleagues who must be accredited, private practices are not required to undergo the same procedure. Leederville Dental has voluntarily committed to continuously improve safety and quality for patients. ADA practice accreditation involves continual assessment and improvement of practice procedures.
- What does accreditation involve?
- In dentistry, practices must meet the first six of the National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards. Once the practice has completed all the required documentation, they are assessed by an independent accreditation agency who awards the accreditation.
- Leederville Dental is committed to continually improving to benefit our patients.
What Does It Mean?

- To support members by enhancing their ability to provide safe, high quality professional oral health care.
- To encourage the improvement of the oral and general health of the public.
- Promotion of the ethics, art and science of dentistry.
