University of California, Los Angeles - Venice Clinic

As a satellite clinic of the UCLA School of Dentistry, the Venice Dental Center provides comprehensive care with minimal referral to outside providers. Residents provide broad cross-disciplinary treatment under the supervision of specialist and general dentist faculty, including: implant placement and restoration, guided tissue regeneration and sinus augmentation, periodontal surgery and soft tissue grafting, exodontia, endodontics, and full mouth rehabilitation. The vast majority of patient care provided by postgraduate residents is comprehensive, with additional substantial experience in triage and treatment of dental emergencies, and referrals from students and private dentists for specialist procedures. Faculty coverage is provided primarily by general dentists, with additional coverage by specialists in periodontics, endodontics, and oral and maxillofacial surgery. The weekly schedule involves 40+ hours in clinic, classes, and seminars.

The UCLA Venice Dental Center has been committed to providing quality dental care for the underserved community since its inception in 1969. Over time, the large volume of patients with complex needs necessitated the addition of postgraduate dental training. This advanced training has evolved into a 1-year AEGD residency program with an emphasis on comprehensive community-based dentistry.
This CODA-accredited program is designed primarily for general dentists within their first 5 years of clinical practice who want to:

1.    Learn and implement advanced treatment planning concepts for complex cases
2.    Develop proficiency in all aspects of dental practice
3.    Become confident treating patients with minimal specialist referral
4.    Gain experience using contemporary technologies (e.g. all-ceramic and CAD/CAM restorations, digital impressions, implant placement and restoration, and digital radiology)
