The First New Dental School
in NYC for Over a Century
Yeshiva University proudly introduces the College of Dental Medicine, the first dental school to open in New York City since 1916—and the only one of its kind in the heart of Manhattan.
Built on a vision of innovation, efficiency, and hands-on mastery, our school is designed for students ready to lead the future of dentistry.
A Three-Year DDS Program Designed for Tomorrow’s Dentistry
Advanced, Efficient, Future-Ready
Our effective, innovative curriculum advances traditional dental training into an intensive three-year path, saving students time and up to 25% in tuition compared to four-year programs.
Hands-On Clinical Training from the Start
At YU’s College of Dental Medicine, you don’t just learn dentistry—you start practicing it far earlier than most programs. Unlike traditional models, where students might not treat patients until later years, our program immerses learners in real-world clinical environments and hands-on training immediately using next-generation technologies.
Immersive Curriculum
Our program uses a block curriculum that allows students to focus on one primary discipline at a time, promoting deeper understanding and stronger skill development.
By integrating didactic learning, simulation, and clinical application, students immediately apply what they learn, reinforcing knowledge through hands-on experience. This structure supports earlier clinical readiness, improved retention, and reduced cognitive overload.
Faculty are fully engaged in each block, providing consistent instruction, timely feedback, and close mentorship. The result is a focused, immersive learning experience that supports academic excellence, professional growth, and patient-centered care.
