Parkview Dentistry is proud to announce that Dr. Linda Perkins, a trusted dentist Scottsdale patients can rely on at Parkview Dentistry for personalized dental care, has earned the prestigious Master of the Academy of General Dentistry (MAGD) designation. This achievement places Dr. Perkins among an elite group of dental professionals from across the United States and Canada who have demonstrated an exceptional commitment to continuing their education, engaging in advanced clinical training, and pursuing lifelong learning in the field of general dentistry. The recognition is given to specific recipients to reflect their years of dedication to expanding their knowledge and bringing advanced treatment options to patients throughout the Scottsdale community.
Awarded by the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD), the MAGD designation is one of the highest professional honors a general dentist in the United States or Canada can achieve. Unlike some awards that are based solely on years of practice or nominations, the Master designation requires dentists to complete a rigorous educational pathway designed to advance their clinical expertise well beyond standard educational and licensing requirements.
To become an AGD Master, dentists must complete more than 1,100 hours of continuing education, including at least 400 hours of hands-on instruction across numerous areas of dentistry. Candidates must also successfully pass a comprehensive examination recognized as being comparable in difficulty to board certification examinations. Fewer than two percent of general dentists in the United States and Canada have earned the MAGD designation, making it one of the profession's most respected accomplishments.
Dr. Perkins' achievement in general dentistry reflects years of dedication to improving patient care through advanced education rather than relying solely on experience gained in daily practice. General dentistry continues to evolve with:
● New techniques
● Materials
● Digital technology
● Treatment methods
By pursuing the Academy of General Dentistry’s highest educational designation, Dr. Perkins has demonstrated her commitment to remaining at the forefront of these developments and applying them to the benefit of her patients.
Parkview Dentistry has built its reputation on providing modern, patient-focused dental care in Scottsdale in a welcoming environment where seniors, professionals, and families can receive different types of dental services under one roof. The practice offers:
● Preventive care
● Routine examinations
● Professional cleanings
● Cosmetic dentistry
● Restorative dentistry
● Dental implants
● Crowns and bridges
● Invisalign
● Laser dentistry
● Emergency dental care
● Root canal therapy
● Oral surgery
● Teeth whitening
The office combines advanced technology with personalized dental treatment planning so patients can receive care that is designed around their individual needs and long-term oral health goals.
For current patients, Dr. Perkins' MAGD designation represents an additional level of confidence in the care they already receive. Continuing education provides dentists with access to the latest research, refined treatment protocols, improved materials, and emerging dental treatment technologies that can improve both patient comfort and long-term results. Rather than relying on techniques learned years earlier in dental school, MAGD dentists continually refine their skills through advanced instruction and practical clinical training.
This ongoing education is very beneficial for patients in many ways. Those who are seeking cosmetic improvements can receive treatment that is based on the latest aesthetic techniques. Patients who are in need of restorative procedures such as crowns, bridges, or implants may benefit from advances in materials and treatment planning. Families visiting for preventive care also receive recommendations based on current research regarding cavity prevention, gum disease management, and long-term oral health maintenance.
Future patients who are searching for a new dental provider often look beyond convenience and office location when making their decision, as they want the best treatment possible.
Professional credentials can provide valuable insight into a dentist's commitment to continuing their education and receiving quality care. Dr. Perkins' MAGD designation offers another reason for prospective patients to feel confident that they are choosing a dentist who has voluntarily completed educational standards that far exceed the minimum requirements necessary to maintain a dental license.
The MAGD designation also reflects Parkview Dentistry's philosophy that learning never stops. Advances in dentistry continue to improve patient experiences through:
● Better diagnostic tools
● More conservative treatment approaches
● Enhanced cosmetic techniques
● Improved restorative materials
A practice committed to continuing education is better positioned to incorporate these developments into everyday patient care as they become available.
As Scottsdale continues to grow, so does the demand for experienced dental professionals who combine their technical knowledge with compassionate and effective dental care. Parkview Dentistry remains committed to serving individuals and families throughout the community by providing preventive, cosmetic, restorative, and emergency dental services in Scottsdale in a comfortable environment where patients are treated with respect and honesty.
Dr. Perkins' accomplishment of being recognized under the MAGD designation also serves as an example of the dedication that is required to achieve excellence within the dental profession. Completing more than 1,100 hours of continued education while maintaining an active clinical practice requires years of commitment, discipline, and a genuine passion for improving patient outcomes. The result is knowledge that directly benefits every patient who walks through the practice's doors.
The entire team at Parkview Dentistry congratulates Dr. Linda Perkins on earning the Master of the Academy of General Dentistry designation and celebrates this significant professional milestone. This designation reinforces the practice's ongoing mission to provide exceptional dental care backed by advanced education, modern technology, and personalized attention for every patient.
