Dr. Ronnie Myers, Dean
Our Programs

Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS)
Our four-year DDS degree program integrates biomedical, behavioral, and preclinical sciences, emphasizing ethical decision-making, good communication, and a whole-body perspective. Our state-of-the-art dental simulation laboratory trains students to treat patients clinically at the Touro Dental Health facility. Students work with faculty learning and perfecting techniques in our general dentistry, pediatrics, endodontics, orthodontics, orofacial pain, periodontics, prosthodontics, and oral & maxillofacial surgery clinical practice facilities.

Post-Graduate Training
TCDM has a three-year post-graduate training in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics, and collaborates with New York Medical College (NYMC) on their general dentistry residency program and their oral and maxillofacial surgery residency program.

Continuing Dental Education
We regularly host continuing dental education, including our eight-part series on Special Needs Dentistry that is available online. Some of our recent classes include Achieving Aesthetic Results with Veneers in Everyday Practice, Exploring Current and Future Prospects of Regenerative Materials in Periodontics and Dentistry, and Transforming Lives: Treating Patients with Alzheimer's & Autism.

Pre-Dental
Each summer, we host a one-week boot camp for college students to learn about careers in dentistry and get a small taste of dental school.
“The amount of hands-on experience we get here--wax up, suturing, doing the impressions. I would not have had this experience otherwise.”
