Biography

Dr. Aaron Cho is currently an Associate Professor and Program Director of Graduate Prosthodontics at Texas A&M University College of Dentistry. He is a board certified prosthodontist as well as a master ceramist. He is also a director of Post-Doctoral Implant Placement Program  (PDIPP).

Dr. Cho completed the Advanced Specialty Program in Prosthodontics at Texas A&M University College of Dentistry (former Baylor College of Dentistry), Dallas, Texas. Since then, he has worked at Marquette University College of Dentistry as a Clinic Director of the Graduate Program in Prosthodontics as well as a Pre-doctoral Program Director for Prosthodontics and Biomaterials. During the time at Marquette University, he has received top student evaluations for his teaching for 4 successive years and was selected by the graduating classes of 2014 and 2015 to vest them with their academic hoods.

His research interests are CAD/CAM-related dental materials and dental esthetics. The majority of his research articles have been published in the Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, one of the most respected journals in the specialty of Prosthodontics. He is currently working as a journal reviewer for the Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry and Journal of Prosthodontics.

Dr. Cho has received the Robert S. Staffanou Memorial Graduate Prosthodontic Award as the best resident when he graduated from the Graduate Prosthodontic Program at Baylor College of Dentistry (2010). In addition, Dr. Cho earned first place in the Stanley D. Tylman Research Awards from the American Academy of Fixed Prosthodontics (2011). Since then, his residents and students have received many awards, such as the Stanley D. Tylman Research award and grants. Among several teaching and professional service awards, the most notable one he received was the Claude R. Baker Faculty Award from the American Academy of Fixed Prosthodontics, as exceptional dental school junior faculty members in pre-doctoral fixed prosthodontic teaching (2017).
