Dentistry Residency Columbia - Faculty

Meet our Dentistry faculty

Our dental clinic at Prisma Health consists of four full-time dentists, eight dental assistants, four hygienists and administrative support staff. Our residents are involved in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of dental problems, including oral surgery, operative dentistry, fixed and removable prosthetics, periodontics, pedodontics and endodontics. Our clinical faculty members participate in seminars, literature reviews and treatment planning sessions with residents. Each academic year, dental students from the College of Dental Medicine at the Medical University of South Carolina visit the clinic for a one-week rotation.
