Doctor of Dental Surgery, D.D.S.

About this programme

The UNC Adams School of Dentistry offers a four-year doctor of dental surgery (D.D.S.) program to produce healthcare practitioners who are qualified to enter general dental practice, dental research, teaching, public service, or postdoctoral programs including graduate programs in various dental specialties. The school is interested in recruiting students who are willing to accept professional responsibilities in their communities; to participate in professional activities; and to pursue a lifetime of learning to enhance their delivery of effective patient care and service to the profession and the public. There is not sufficient space in the dental school to admit all students who meet its quantitative and qualitative standards. For this reason, the quality of the student’s undergraduate work is of great importance in selection for admission, as well as motivation to pursue a career in dentistry.
