PROGRAM DIRECTOR
LICENSURE DISCLOSURE
The Graduate Restorative Program is proud to have trained educators and clinicians for over 70 years. Students that successfully complete all academic, clinic and research requirements of the program will receive a Master in Science degree in Restorative Dentistry from Rackham School of Graduate Studies. Even though some international graduates may be eligible for licensure in the United States, a MS degree in Restorative Dentistry from the University of Michigan does not automatically lead to licensure.
The University of Michigan School of Dentistry and the Graduate Restorative Dentistry Program have no control over licensure eligibility. International students should consult the state dental board to confirm if an MS degree in Restorative Dentistry from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry meets the criteria for professional licensure in a particular state. Contact information for the state dental boards can be found at the American Dental Association. International dentists that are primarily seeking a dental license in the United States are highly encouraged to apply to the Internationally Trained Dentist Program (ITDP) instead.
