Dental College of Georgia

College Overview

The Dental College of Georgia (DCG) provides dental education to the next generation of professionals by offering hands-on education through innovative research, patient care, and service.

The DCG was founded to provide the people of Georgia with quality dental care by educating students in dentistry. The DCG offers a four-year program leading to a Doctor of Dental Medicine degree. Advanced studies are also available through eight different dental residency programs and one internship program.

Dental school requires intense focus, hard work and long hours, but Augusta University’s dedicated faculty and staff are on hand to assist. Most students approach dental school as a full-time pursuit, but students with families, including those who pursue dentistry as a second career, have excelled at Augusta University. Balance and commitment are key.

Augusta University’s numerous student organizations, as well as dental organizations for students, provide fun, service, camaraderie and inspiration. Some of these organizations emphasize fun or philanthropy; others provide an early start on networking and the opportunity to help shape the dental profession.
