Dr. Amanda Seay, DDS, FAACD, of Mount Pleasant, SC, earns Accredited Fellow status with the AACD — the highest honor in cosmetic dentistry excellence.

Dr. Amanda N. Seay, DDS, FAACD Achieves Accredited Fellow Status in the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry®

Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. Dr. Amanda N. Seay, DDS, FAACD, has been honored with the prestigious title of Accredited Fellow by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) — the highest level of achievement recognized by the AACD. This distinction places Dr. Seay among an elite group of cosmetic dentists worldwide who have demonstrated exceptional mastery in the art and science of aesthetic dentistry through the AACD’s world-renowned credentialing process.

“The AACD has given me more than continuing education — it’s given me fulfillment, purpose, and a community of lifelong friends and mentors …”


Excellence Through AACD Accreditation


The AACD Accreditation and Fellowship programs are recognized as the gold standard in cosmetic dentistry. Achieving Accredited Fellow status through the AACD involves a demanding process that tests a dentist’s technical skill, esthetic judgment, and ethical integrity. To reach this level, Dr. Seay completed:
  1. A comprehensive written examination through the AACD
  2. Submission of clinical case studies demonstrating excellence in cosmetic dentistry, each evaluated by an AACD panel of peers
  3. A rigorous oral examination assessing her approach to patient care and esthetic outcomes
  4. Ongoing AACD-approved continuing education in advanced restorative techniques and smile design

This credential represents the culmination of years of commitment to excellence and lifelong learning within the AACD.
About Dr. Amanda Seay, DDS, FAACD

Dr. Seay earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the New York University College of Dentistry, where she developed an early passion for esthetic dentistry. After completing advanced training in smile design and restorative techniques, she founded [Expertise Dental] in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, where she and her team provide personalized cosmetic and restorative dental care.

In addition to her role as a clinician, Dr. Seay is a sought-after lecturer and educator, frequently presenting at AACD conferences, study clubs, and hands-on workshops. She is known for her meticulous artistry, compassionate approach, and leadership within the AACD community.

Her commitment to the AACD’s mission—to advance excellence in cosmetic dentistry and inspire confidence through beautiful, healthy smiles—is evident in every aspect of her work.

The AACD’s Role in Advancing Cosmetic Dentistry

The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) is the world’s largest organization dedicated to advancing excellence in the art and science of cosmetic dentistry. AACD members and Fellows commit to ethical practice standards, continuing education, and ongoing clinical excellence.

Becoming an AACD Accredited Fellow signifies not only technical proficiency but also dedication to patient-centered, evidence-based dentistry. Less than one percent of cosmetic dentists worldwide have achieved this level of distinction.

Through her AACD Fellowship, Dr. Seay joins a global network of clinicians committed to innovation, artistry, and compassionate care. Her practice continues to reflect the AACD’s mission by integrating advanced materials, minimally invasive techniques, and a deep understanding of dental aesthetics to deliver beautiful, natural-looking results.

Always a good experience with Randy!! I have back issues and she ensures that I am comfortable in the chair. She will work as quickly as possible and angle the chair so there is little pressure on my back. She also provides a warming neck wrap. To be able to come home from the dentist and not be in... severe back pain is a gift and speaks volumes. Thank you Randy!! The entire practice is wonderful!read more

After dealing with several complex dental issues for over four years, I felt overwhelmed and stuck. Coordinating care across multiple providers felt overwhelming, and I struggled to find someone with the right combination of advanced training and experience who could truly help.When I first came... across Expertise Dental, I was nervous just making that initial phone call. But from the very first conversation with Jenna at the front desk, I felt genuinely heard and supported. She was patient, kind, and clearly understood exactly what I was describing — something that had been missing in previous calls.What stood out immediately is that Expertise Dental is a true team of skilled dentists with different specialties who work together to create a comprehensive plan. After following their Instagram for a while and seeing their commitment to ongoing learning and advanced training, it built trust in their expertise.My first consultation brought such a deep sense of relief. Joyce made me feel completely at ease with her clear explanations and caring manner. Dr. Melissa Minger Swanson, who is handling my case, has a gentle, thoughtful approach that truly touched me — she combines real skill with such kindness. Every single team member I’ve interacted with — from Randi, who made the photos such a breeze, to Mandi, who’s been so helpful with questions and billing —each member has been professional, patient, and detail-oriented.The entire office runs smoothly -it’s clear a tremendous amount of thoughtful care and hard work has gone into building this practice.I’m so grateful to Dr. Amanda Seay for creating this collaborative, high-level environment and to Dr. Swanson for the confidence I now have moving forward with my treatment.I'm really looking forward to seeing the comprehensive plan Dr. Melissa and her team develop for me and continuing this journey with them.read more

I have been a patient at Expertise since 2019 and I cannot imagine a dental team anywhere being more professional, more caring, more knowledgable, and more into their patients than Dr Seay and her crew.

I discovered Dr. Mennito through his students at MUSC. As they described his meticulous work and attention to detail, they made it clear he would be their choice for any cosmetic dentistry. When Dr. Mennito completed my cosmetic veneers and crowns, he and his staff exceeded my expectations. He had... a clear plan we followed that has made my smile exactly as I had hoped! I often catch my wife and daughters staring at my smile. They are as pleased as I am with the end result!read more

Beth was my hygentist today. She welcomed me with a heated pad for the back of my neck and covered my shirt with a soft towel before adding the splash protection. She was gentle and thorough using a water pick prior to using the metal pick. This was to clear any bacteria first. We had a nice... conversation. Beth was born in Iowa but she is much too ladylike to live on a farm. Her husband is an insurance unwriter from Memphis. They have 2 boys ages 8 and 10. They left Kansas City to move closer to their favorite vacation place - Pawleys Is. And some of their family followed. Beth has hazel eyes that as she says looks like a muddy river. I think!In any event, she is the best and I feel blessed to have her take care of me. Thanks Beth!!read more
