Dental General Practice Residency
Welcome
Welcome to the Hospital Dentistry Residency program at Carilion Clinic! At Hospital Dentistry, our patients and community are family, making the training of compassionate and competent dentists our top priority.
Thank you for your interest in Carilion Clinic’s General Practice Residency program! I am thrilled for you to learn more about all that we have to offer.
Our primary focus is providing quality care to the patients that we serve. We work with a patient population with a diverse range of needs, many of whom would not be able to receive dental care without our help.
Because of this, we offer a unique educational experience with robust exposure to managing patients with special healthcare needs. Our residents gain experience in providing a range of comprehensive dental care, with exceptional exposure to surgical procedures, operating room dentistry, pediatric dentistry, and dental trauma. Our residents quickly integrate into the hospital system and operate as members of an interdisciplinary team. Through providing care or rotating to other medical services, our residents gain experiences that allow them to safely and efficiently treat all patients that they may encounter once they graduate from residency.
Above all, we consider all members of our team to be family. We support each other not only in our professional growth but in all aspects of life. Our faculty and staff are dedicated to providing an extraordinary learning environment as well as a home away from home where you can reach your full potential in all that you pursue.
We appreciate your interest in joining our team. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions about our program.
