The Faculty offers an undergraduate dental program consisting of 4 years of professional study leading to the degree of Doctor of Dental Medicine (D.M.D).
Objectives
The Doctor of Dental Medicine degree program is designed to prepare students to practise their chosen profession with a high degree of technical skill. The program is based on a sound knowledge of the related biological sciences, and to make them aware of the interaction of the dentist as a health professional in the community.
Professional Association
The possession of a dental degree does not automatically confer the right to practise dentistry in any province of Canada. Each province has a licencing authority which grants the licence to practise. In British Columbia, inquiries should be directed to:
Registrar, College of Dental Surgeons of BC
1765 West 8th Avenue
Vancouver BC, V6J 5C6
Tel: (604) 736-3621

or their counterparts in other provinces. Persons convicted of a criminal offence including a conviction for an offence which resulted in a conditional or absolute discharge, and who are considering a career in dentistry, should write to the Registrar of the College for clarification of their ability to obtain a licence to practise dentistry in British Columbia before beginning studies.
Applications to Advanced Standing
There are no arrangements for considering advanced standing applicants from other Canadian, U.S. and international dental schools at this time.
