The curriculum is designed to provide advanced training beyond pre-doctoral education in clinical dentistry. Students will refine those skills necessary to provide comprehensive patient care for all population groups.

Available experience includes:

• Restorative dentistry: direct restorations using resin composite and amalgam
• Prosthetic dentistry: single crowns, fixed dental prosthetic units, complete and partial dentures
• Esthetic dentistry
• Implant dentistry: placement and restoration of single and multiple units
• Digital dentistry: CEREC, Planmeca, 3Shape triOS
• Cone Beam CT and implant planning software 
• Soft tissue diode lasers and piezosurgery
• Periodontal and oral surgery
• Rotary endodontics
• Bone grafting
• Treatment planning of complex cases
• Care of medically complex patients
• Teaching in the pre-doctoral program

Faculty is one of the greatest assets of the AEGD program. All general dental faculty members have experience in private practice, and there is access to faculty in every dental specialty. Two dedicated faculty members are assigned at each clinic session, and the ratio of faculty to residents is 1:5 or better. The program relies on more than 35 associated faculty members, with supervising faculty whose only responsibility is resident instruction.

Faculty may include those who are:

• Dual-certified
• Diplomates of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry
• Advanced certification holders in esthetic dentistry
