Dr. Jack Styles Kammer is widely known as the "Godfather of Cosmetic Dentistry" for his leadership in founding the world's largest dental organization dedicated to the art and science of cosmetic dentistry, the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD). Through this organization, he has received accreditation and fellowship status. He's the only AACD Fellow in Wisconsin, and one of only 39 worldwide.

Established by Dr. Kammer in 1984, the AACD has grown to over 6,000 members in 60 countries. It strives to keep its members on the cutting edge of cosmetic dentistry, as well as offering public programs like a free consumer referral service and the award-winning Give Back a Smile program, which provides cosmetic dental care for domestic abuse survivors.

Through his hard work and dedication to the field of cosmetic dentistry, Dr. Jack has trained thousands of dentists in techniques which are now established by the AACD. In turn, AACD dentists have trained thousands more dentists. Dr. Jack's contribution to dentistry has literally helped to restore millions of smiles around the world. With an anonymous entry in the first international competition in SMILE DESIGN by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, he was awarded first place. A little closer to home in 2004, Dr. Jack's peers named him one of Madison's BEST COSMETIC DENTISTS in Madison Magazine.

The Center for Cosmetic Dentistry is extremely fortunate to utilize this celebrated experience in multifaceted cases. Dr. Jack regularly monitors the Design, Shape and Function of cases within the practice. In addition to his professional accolades, Dr. Jack is no stranger to his community. His annual University Avenue Tree Lights display has become a local tradition since 1995. Every late November for a decade, Dr. Jack dons his 'Santa' cap for Madison by stringing over 120,000 holiday lights on a beautiful row of 228 arborvitae trees three and a third football fields long which run parallel to University Avenue. Dr. Jack planted the trees eighteen years ago, and continues to maintain them to an identical height of 6-7 feet for his impressive display each winter. When he's not hard at work creating beautiful smiles at the Center for Cosmetic Dentistry, Dr. Jack enjoys spending time with his wife of 55 years, Lois, and visiting family. He also enjoys artistic pursuits and has been active in musical productions at the Madison Theatre Guild, serving as its president in 1965. In the late 1950's, Dr. Jack was a member of the "Cardinals" barbershop quartet. During his tenure, they were Midwest Champions and finalists in the International Competition in Miami.
