The goal of the affiliation with the NYU Lutheran Dental Medicine AEGD residency program is to develop patient-centered clinicians with the ability to provide comprehensive oral health care for a wide patient population.

You can expect to learn how to perform a wide variety of dental procedures that extends beyond what is typically covered in dental school. Aside from the “bread and butter” procedures of general dentistry (operative, fixed and removable prosthodontics, etc.), you will be exposed to procedures such as molar endodontics, surgical extraction of third molars, implant placement and restoration, evaluation and treatment of dental emergencies, pain and anxiety control of adult, pediatric, and special needs patients, and much more. Beyond the core program requirements, clinical instruction is catered to what you want to learn more about.
