Charlotte Dental Arts' Dr. Edwin Porter Achieves Dual Elite Credentials: DICOI and FAGD Designations Establish Advanced Care Standards in Charlotte

CHARLOTTE, NC - Charlotte Dental Arts announces that Dr. Edwin Porter, DDS, DICOI, FAGD, has achieved two of dentistry's most prestigious credentials: Diplomate status from the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (DICOI) and Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD). This rare combination of advanced designations, coupled with his experience as Visiting Faculty at CEREC Doctors, establishes Dr. Porter as one of the most highly qualified dental professionals in the Charlotte region.

These elite credentials represent years of dedication to clinical excellence and continuing education. The DICOI designation recognizes mastery of advanced implant dentistry through rigorous examination and extensive case documentation, while the FAGD Fellowship demonstrates commitment to comprehensive dental education, requiring over 500 hours of approved continuing education coursework.

"Earning both the DICOI and FAGD credentials represents my commitment to providing the highest standard of care across all aspects of dentistry," said Dr. Edwin Porter. "The DICOI designation validates my expertise in complex implant cases, while the FAGD demonstrates my dedication to comprehensive general dentistry. Together, they enable me to provide our Charlotte community with treatment options and outcomes that few practices can match."

Dr. Porter's Diplomate status from the International Congress of Oral Implantologists places him among an elite group of dental professionals who have demonstrated exceptional skill in implant dentistry. The DICOI credential requires extensive documentation of successful implant cases, peer review, and passing a comprehensive examination. This advanced certification ensures patients receive care from a provider with proven expertise in even the most complex implant procedures.

His Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry showcases a commitment to lifelong learning and clinical excellence across all dental disciplines. Achieving FAGD status requires completing over 500 hours of continuing education in subjects including cosmetic dentistry, endodontics, periodontics, and practice management, ensuring comprehensive, up-to-date care for all patients.

Beyond these credentials, Dr. Porter's experience as Visiting Faculty at CEREC Doctors has positioned him as a leader in digital dentistry. In this teaching role, he trained dental professionals nationally and internationally in advanced same-day crown technology, sharing expertise gained from completing over 6,000 CEREC same-day restoration cases at Charlotte Dental Arts.

The practice has been at the forefront of digital dentistry for over a decade, offering patients the convenience and precision of computer-aided design and manufacturing for dental crowns, bridges, and other restorations - all completed in a single visit. CEREC technology eliminates the need for temporary crowns, multiple appointments, and traditional impressions, offering patients a more comfortable and efficient treatment experience.

Dr. Porter's comprehensive training from prestigious institutions includes the Pankey Institute, Dawson Academy, Spear Education, and Galler Advanced Training in Clear Aligners. He has been recognized as a "Top Dentist in Charlotte" by Charlotte Magazine for over 20 consecutive years, as voted by his dental peers - a testament to the respect he commands among fellow dental professionals.

"These credentials aren't just letters after my name - they represent a commitment to providing patients with the most advanced, evidence-based care available," Dr. Porter continued. "Whether someone needs a complex full-mouth reconstruction, dental implants, or cosmetic dentistry, they can feel confident knowing they're receiving care from a provider with the highest level of training and expertise."

Charlotte Dental Arts has invested heavily in state-of-the-art technology to complement Dr. Porter's advanced credentials. The practice's digital workflow includes 3D imaging, intraoral scanning, and computer-aided design, allowing for precise treatment planning and execution. This combination of advanced technology and Dr. Porter's exceptional qualifications has positioned the practice as a destination for complex restorative cases, dental implants, and full-mouth reconstructions.

With over 20 years of cosmetic, restorative, and implant experience and more than 25 years serving the Charlotte community, Dr. Porter continues to elevate the standard of dental care in the region through his commitment to education, technology, and clinical excellence.
