Program Goals and Overview
Upon completion of training through didactic and clinical rotations, the residents will be able to act as a primary oral health care provider, including providing emergency and multidisciplinary comprehensive oral health care, obtaining informed consent, functioning effectively within interdisciplinary health care teams including consultation and referral, providing patient-focused care that is coordinated by the general practitioner, and directing health promotion and disease prevention activities.
Upon completion of the program, the residents will be able to assess, diagnose, and plan for the provision of multidisciplinary oral health care for a wide variety of patients, including patients with special needs, and manage the delivery of patient-focused oral health care.
Treatments performed include:
- Endodontic treatment with rotary files
- Surgical extractions of impacted teeth
- Surgical removal of tori
- Periodontal surgeries
- Crowns
- Dentures
- Implant overdentures

Residents of our program will also be enrolled in the New York AAID Maxicourse, an in-depth, comprehensive 300-hour continuing educational program in implant dentistry preparing them for examination for associate fellowship credentialing.
