Comprehensive Dentistry
The Department of Comprehensive Dentistry trains caring, competent primary care providers who place patient welfare above all other considerations. It is the responsibility of the general dentist to lead the referral team and constantly insure that the best interests of the patient are met.
Meet the Team
We screen all of our prospective adult dental patients to make sure that your dental needs are the best fit for our students. Once patients are accepted into our program, we provide world-class dental care and are often able to deliver significant cost savings.
Advanced Education in General Dentistry
An AEGD residency will prepare the graduate to act as a primary care provider for individuals and groups of patients. This includes providing emergency and multidisciplinary comprehensive oral health care; providing patient focused care that is coordinated by the general practitioner; directing health promotion and disease prevention activities, and using advanced dental treatment modalities.
Advanced Education in Prosthodontics
The mission of the Graduate Prosthodontics Program at Texas A&M College of Dentistry is to advance oral health by educating skilled prosthodontic specialists, conducting impactful research, and delivering comprehensive, patient-centered care. We are committed to excellence in clinical practice, scientific inquiry, and community service, preparing our graduates to lead and innovate in the evolving field of prosthodontics.
