Program Strengths

A blend of a classical and contemporary Prosthodontics

We pursue state-of-the-art contemporary CAD/CAM technology, using a 3Shape TRIOS Intraoral scanner, a 3D printer (Form 2) and 3Shape Lab scanner. In addition, a Nobel Biocare scanner is available. We also use a variety of web-based implant surgical guide fabrication systems. 

Strong implant placement program

We have our own surgical suite for implant placements. Implant placement is a part of the clinical requirements and goals for our students. We have Periodontists dedicated to the implant placement program called PDIPP (Postgraduate Dental Implant Placement Program).  

Interdisciplinary cooperation

Our school has all advanced educational programs on site. Interdisciplinary cooperation is a great benefit. In addition, we have interdisciplinary seminars such as Perio-Pros, Endo-Pros, and Ortho-Pros for the training. On the last Monday of each month during fall and spring semester there are the implant interdisciplinary seminars by Pros, Perio, Ortho, Oral Surgery, Endo, and AEGD.

Teaching is another way to learn

There are teaching opportunities such as Predoctoral Clinic Teaching (Removable- 3rd year/ Fixed - 2nd year resident). This teaching opportunity will help establish a strong foundation of Prosthodontic knowledge. We believe our residents will become great leaders and speakers in the future in academic and clinical fields. 

Prosthodontic Board Certification

We are helping and supporting the Prosthodontic Board Certification for all our students with well-organized board preparation courses and mock-board exams. In addition, our program financially supports the annual ACP board prep course meeting for all 3rd year residents. 

Research for MS

We have a strong Research support group with school research funds. As this is a Certification and MS combined program, all our residents will receive a MS degree when they finish the residency. This is a great reward and bonus for the hard work and time given during Pros training. 

Stipend & financial support

We provide a stipend (approximately $10k per year) to each student. In addition, all our students are eligible to pay in-state tuition regardless of where they come from.

Moreover, our program provides financial support per each annual Prosthodontic meeting, ACP and AAFP, for travel and registration fees. 

Apprenticeship

We have a great faculty for the clinic and didactic courses. Our faculty are Board Certified Prosthodontists, and some are double-trained in Prosthodontics and Maxillofacial Prosthetics. All are very knowledgeable and willing to help our residents at any time. Apprenticeship is one of the most valuable assets of this program, and you will be able to develop relationships with lifetime mentors.
