Program Contact
The Dental College of Georgia at Augusta University offers an advanced education program leading to a Certificate in Endodontics. The philosophy of this program is to educate dentists to become competent endodontists who will serve the public and the profession at a high level of excellence. It stresses the importance of knowledge and skills in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases associated with the dental pulp and related periapical tissues. The correlation of basic sciences and clinical sciences is an integral part of the program. Individuals who successfully complete this advanced education program will be awarded a Certificate in Endodontics. Successful completion of the postdoctoral curriculum fulfills all the educational requirements for eligibility for examination by the American Board of Endodontics.
An optional Masters of Science degree program is available to be taken in conjunction with the certificate curriculum, but requires an additional 6-12 months matriculation and additional advanced, separate admission/tuition through the Graduate School. Tuition is charged on a per hour basis for the graduate degree courses taken. The applicant must be accepted by The Graduate School and the Department of Oral Biology. Application to the graduate program can be made after acceptance to the certificate program.
The Dental College of Georgia currently charges no tuition for the Advanced Education in Endodontics Residency Certificate Program. Additionally, no fees are assessed for required clinical equipment or supplies. A small annual stipend is afforded each resident for incidental costs which can total up to ~ $5K over the course of the program (loupes/head light/books/scrubs/personal computer/etc.).

Additional Information
Candidates are encouraged to have a completed application early. Due to the consistently high volume, applications are generally not reviewed for consideration until "complete" on the ADEA PASS website and review continues until the application deadline; however, interview offers occur weekly once the application site opens for program review. Your chances of getting an interview offer decrease the closer you get to the application deadline.
Most likely, this year's interview date will be Monday, 13 July 2026.
