Over a full-time five years of study students obtain a DDM (Doctor of Dental Medicine) degree whose program of study conforms to the European Union standards of dental education. 

The first years generally give a solid grounding in basic sciences for your future field of practice. From the third year you begin practical experience and have the opportunity to treat your own patients under supervision. 

Medical University of Warsaw understands how valuable hands-on education is, which is why the Dentistry program is designed with a heavy focus on clinical training. Students are taught and trained with the latest techniques and equipment at the University Dental Center located on the Medical University of Warsaw's Banacha Campus. 

The rapid development of scientific technology makes dentistry a fast-paced and exciting industry to work in. Emerging technologies introduce new specialties to the field in addition to the many sub-sets you can already choose from such as: pediatric and conservative dentistry, periodontics, orthodontics, as well as oral and maxillofacial surgery.
