By completing this residency, residents will learn how to provide holistic care to patients in a hospital setting. Residents will have exposure to a diverse patient population and a variety of patient cases, which helps them learn to better manage their time as they progress through the year. Residents have the opportunity to work alongside and learn from many general dentists and specialists, including oral surgeons, endodontists, and periodontists. Residents will act as a primary oral healthcare provider and gain experience in providing emergency & comprehensive oral healthcare, obtaining informed consent, functioning within interdisciplinary healthcare teams, providing patient-focused care, providing health education, and engaging in disease prevention activities.
Our residency program is flexible to align with the goals and interests of each individual resident. If residents have an interest in a particular area of dentistry, they can work with the program directors to align their experience with their professional goals.
Our GPR is designed to provide in depth clinical experiences in oral surgery, endodontics, periodontal treatment (both surgical and non surgical), prosthodontics (both fixed and removable), and cosmetic dentistry (both direct and indirect) using composite and e.max non-metallic crowns and veneers. Additionally, residents will have the opportunity to assist in the placement and restoration of implants. Residents treat special needs and medically compromised patients in the operating room every week. Treatment planning and case presentations are a vital part of resident experiences. In addition to rotations through cardiology, family medicine, geriatric medicine, and anesthesia, academic lectures are presented by hospital sub-specialties.
The medical rotations our dental residents experience provide an education in patient dental care which most recent graduates do not receive in dental school. We welcome you to review our program and include Summa Health System in your future academic and professional plans.
