About Dentistry

About Dentistry

Our Undergraduate Dental Program (D.M.D.) curriculum is innovative and dynamic, reflecting the minds of our outstanding professors and their vision for training tomorrow's leaders in oral health care. First and foremost, we want our graduates to be professionals who possess sound judgment. We believe this is the best way to ensure that their patients, and the population at large, receive the most effective care possible鈥攈ealth care that is supported by scientific evidence and a sense of social justice.

To attain this goal, we have created a curriculum that employs cutting-edge approaches to the management of oral health problems, as well as innovative teaching and learning techniques. It focuses on the relationship between oral health and general health.

During recent years, our curriculum has changed dramatically to reflect the evolving needs of society and the dental profession. In the coming years, our curriculum will evolve further to improve the capacity of our graduates to better serve underprivileged groups in our society and to become leaders in oral health-related research and academics, organized dentistry, dental practice, and government, all with a view to addressing the enormous disparities in oral and general health that exist in society today.

Doctor of Dental Medicine (D.M.D.) Dentistry (Four-Year Program) (221 credits)

During the first 16 months of the program, the Fundamentals of Medicine and Dentistry are taught in conjunction with the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. Students then complete seven months of intense preclinical training followed by two years of clinical training in our brand new state-of-the-art undergraduate teaching clinic. Students rotate through various hospital departments including Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (at the Montreal General Hospital), Paediatric Dentistry (at the Montreal Children's Hospital), the Jim Lund Dental Clinic (at the Welcome Hall Mission in St. Henri), the Alan Edwards Pain Management Unit (at the Montreal General Hospital), and the 成人VR视频 Pain Centre.

Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) - Dental Preparatory (Dent-P) (30 credits)

The Dent-P Year combines a preparatory year in the Faculty of Science followed by the four-year D.M.D. program in the Faculty of Dental Medicine and Oral Health Sciences. The objective of the Dent-P Year is to offer students the opportunity to adapt to university-level academics before entering the rigorous curriculum of the D.M.D. program. The Dent-P Year consists of two consecutive semesters of a Bachelor of Science-style curriculum. Students are officially registered in the Faculty of Science during their preparatory year and must complete the required courses and maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 3.5 to continue on to the D.M.D. program.

Extenuating Circumstances

Candidates who have experienced any serious medical or personal difficulty(ies) that had a significant impact on their academic performance may claim "Extenuating Circumstances (EXTC)" on their application. For more instructions: mcgill.ca/dentistry/4-year-dmd-program/how-apply.

Students Enrolled in a Graduate Program

Students enrolled in the D.M.D. program are not allowed to be registered simultaneously in any other program of study. Thus, students currently enrolled in graduate programs are normally expected to apply only when they are in the final year of that program. To be eligible for admission, graduate students applying to the four-year D.M.D. program must have submitted their written thesis by July 31 of the year they will enter the D.M.D. program (e.g., July 31, 2023 for entry in Fall 2024). Written confirmation of thesis submission must be provided by the Thesis Office (or equivalent) of the university where the student is registered for graduate studies by July 31 of the year candidates enter the D.M.D. program. Failure to provide this confirmation of thesis submission by the aforementioned deadline will result in the candidate鈥檚 offer being withdrawn.

Four-Year Undergraduate Dental Program (D.M.D.)

Four-Year Undergraduate Dental Program (D.M.D.)

During the first 16 months of the program, the Fundamentals of Medicine and Dentistry are taught in conjunction with the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. Students then complete seven months of intense preclinical training followed by two years of clinical training in our brand new state-of-the-art undergraduate teaching clinic. Students rotate through various hospital departments including Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (at the Montreal General Hospital), Pediatric Dentistry (at the Montreal Children's Hospital), the Jim Lund Dental Clinic (at the Welcome Hall Mission in St. Henri), and the Alan Edwards Pain Management Unit (at the Montreal General Hospital).

Requirements

Applicants to the program should have either completed the following entrance requirements or be completing them by July 31 of the year of entry to the D.M.D. program.

A 120-credit (鈥渇our-year鈥) or equivalent bachelor鈥檚 degree from an accredited institution in any discipline is required. Applicants who have successfully obtained a Diploma of Collegial Studies (Dipl么me d鈥櫭﹖udes coll茅giales; DEC) in a pre-university program can apply with a 90-credit bachelor's degree. The program must have been undertaken on a full-time basis and should be completed in the time prescribed by the program. A full course load (e.g., 15 credits) is strongly recommended in regular sessions. Summer or other interim sessions are acceptable; however, they should not take away from regular sessions.

Applicants may be considered on the basis of a second undergraduate degree. 45 consecutive new graded credits (in a second/alternate bachelor's degree program) must be completed by the November 1 application deadline. The remaining 15 (or more) credits must be completed by July 31 of the year of entry to dental school, and these must be at a level comparable to that which appears in the academic records submitted at the time of application. A marked decline in academic performance in the final term(s) may lead to withdrawal of an offer of admission. The second undergraduate degree must be completed on a full-time basis (as recognised by your institution).

The 成人VR视频 Office does not consider degrees without a marking or grading system; narrative transcripts are not accepted.

Basic Science Requirements

Applicants are required to have completed (with official grades submitted) all of the basic science prerequisite coursework at CEGEP or university level by May 31 of the year they will be applying. At least four of seven science prerequisite courses, including labs, must be completed (with official grades submitted) by the November 1 application deadline. Applicants must have successfully completed (or be in the final stages of completing) the following courses at the CEGEP or university level with laboratory or practical work in each:

  • a minimum six (6) credits of Introductory Biology/Biological Sciences coursework with labs;
  • a minimum six (6) credits of General (or Physical) Chemistry coursework with labs;
  • a minimum three (3) credits of Organic Chemistry coursework with labs; and
  • a minimum six (6) credits of Introductory Physics coursework with labs (3 credits in Calculus could also count toward half of the required credits in Physics).

Grades of Pass/Fail (Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory) are not acceptable in coursework except for Winter 2020. Numerical or letter-class grades are required. Academic performance within these courses will be considered. Distance or correspondence education courses will be considered by the 成人VR视频 Office.

The 成人VR视频 Office may accept Advanced Levels (UK System), French Baccalaureate 补苍苍茅别 Terminale, S茅rie S, IBO Courses (Higher Level), and AP Results (College Board) as acceptable alternatives. Official test results should be sent from the examination board directly to 成人VR视频 Enrolment Services:

  • Service Point
  • 成人VR视频
  • 3415 McTavish Street
  • Montreal QC H3A 0C8
  • Canada
  • Website: mcgill.ca/servicepoint

Although not required, university-level courses in cell and molecular biology, physiology, statistics, and genetics are strongly recommended. For more information: mcgill.ca/dentistry/4-year-dmd-program/requirements.

CASPer Test 鈥 Computer-Based Assessment for Sampling Personal Characteristics

All applicants to the Undergraduate Dental Program at 成人VR视频 are required to complete an online assessment (CASPerTM) prior to their application deadline. Completion of CASPer is mandatory in order to maintain admission eligibility.

CASPer assesses for non-cognitive skills and interpersonal characteristics that are important for successful students and graduates of our program, and will complement the other tools that we use for applicant screening to further enhance fairness and objectivity in our selection process.

The CASPer test is comprised of 12 sections of video and written scenarios. Following each scenario, you will be required to answer a set of probing questions under a time contract. Each response is graded by a different rater, giving a very robust and reliable view of personal and professional characteristics important to our program. No studying is required for CASPer, although you may want to familiarise yourself with the test structure and ensure you have a quiet environment to take the test. We strongly urge you to take advantage of the 12-section practice test, which will not only immerse you in the test environment but will also ensure you meet the technical requirements to access and complete the test.

In order to take CASPer, you will be responsible for securing access to a laptop or desktop computer with webcam and audio capabilities. No exceptions will be provided for applicants unable to take CASPer online due to being located at sites where internet is not dependable due to technical or political factors.

CASPer test results are valid for one admissions cycle. Applicants who have already taken the test in previous years will therefore be expected to re-take it.

Please refer to mcgill.ca/dentistry/4-year-dmd-program/requirements and for further information.

Dental Aptitude Test (DAT)

The 成人VR视频 Committee has decided to remove the Dental Aptitude Test (DAT) as a requirement for entry in the undergraduate dental programs (DMD and DENT-P) for Fall 2023 and Fall 2024. The use of the DAT for future cycles is currently under review. Please refer to for further information.
