Founded in 1970, the American College of Prosthodontists is an educational and scientific association created to represent the needs and interests of prosthodontists within organized dentistry, and to the public, by providing a means for stimulating awareness and interest in the field of prosthodontics. The ACP’s goal is to be the global resource for all aspects of the specialty.
The American Dental Association recognizes the ACP as the organization for the specialty of prosthodontics, and the ACP is the only prosthodontic specialty association where membership is based solely on education credentials. ACP members must be in or have completed an ADA-accredited advanced education program in prosthodontics.
The ACP has more than 3,300 members internationally including prosthodontists, dental technicians, dental students and other dental professionals who have significantly contributed to the specialty. Membership benefits feature a wide array of discounts, resources and services including free subscriptions to the Journal of Prosthodontics, a highly respected scientific publication; the Messenger, a quarterly newsletter of the College; and ACP Updates, e-blasts containing the latest and breaking news from the specialty and the College.

Representing a unified voice for the prosthodontic specialty, the ACP regularly communicates and interacts with the ADA, especially with the Council on Dental Education and Licensure and the Commission on Dental Accreditation, as well as other dental specialty organizations to discuss, support and influence key issues impacting the specialty and the future of prosthodontic education.
The College supports three affiliate organizations that are working together to advance the prosthodontic specialty: the ACP Education Foundation, the American Board of Prosthodontics and the Prosthodontic Forum Organizations.
