Advanced Education in Periodontics

Our three-year periodontics program prepares graduates to provide evidence-based periodontal care, including dental implant surgery and esthetic surgery, using the latest technology.

Hands-on, high-tech dental specialty training in periodontal care

The program is designed to challenge residents and foster clinical excellence based on technical proficiency, expert diagnostic skills and broad-based knowledge of the periodontal literature. Residents are exposed to a wide variety of clinical techniques by a group of highly qualified faculty with diverse training and varied backgrounds. 

Hands-on application of the latest technology is integral to the program. Residents use tools such as digital implant planning software to build their skills and deliver exceptional care to patients.

Graduates of the program receive a certificate and a MSD degree.
