As the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (BACD) enters its 22 year, the mantle of president passes to Dr Carol Somerville Roberts, one of the country’s most-dedicated and patient-centered cosmetic dentists.
Inaugurated at the BACD 21st Annual Conference in November 2025, Somerville Roberts has previously spent six years as a board member and enters the new role with invaluable experience and the determination to continue making the academy the epicentre for ethical cosmetic dentistry in the UK.
“I am honoured to have been trusted with the role of president of the BACD,” she said.
“I plan to cement our position as the leading academy in Europe delivering world-class, cutting-edge dental education.
“Having practiced for almost 30 years, holding the presidency position is the pinnacle of my career and I am very grateful for all the support and encouragement.
“The BACD is a real family that I believe sets us apart from others.”
Her tenure as president will promote stability and community; putting in place a flexible approach that listens to how BACD members want to receive their education and the areas that can be improved on.
