The Office of Admissions at LLUSD is moving toward a paperless process. Please do not send any documents other than those listed below.

The International Dentist Program is designed to allow qualified dentists educated in countries outside the United States, to earn a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree in the United States.

The DDS degree from a U.S. dental college is an educational requirement for eligibility to take the dental licensure examination in many states. The program has a minimum length of two academic years, but may be extended, when necessary, to meet the needs of a particular student. Students take classes in the disciplines of dentistry and receive extensive clinical experience. Students are provided with the opportunity to serve the dental health needs of the local community through off–site clinical rotations.

Since 1953, the School of Dentistry has graduated competent and compassionate oral health care professionals who contribute to the Loma Linda University Health mission of providing their patients “whole person” care.

The school offers the Doctor of Dental Surgery degree; bachelor of science in dental hygiene; and master of science degrees and certification in advanced dental education programs for endodontics, implant dentistry, oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics, paediatric dentistry, periodontics, and prosthodontics. In addition, an International Dentist program gives dentists who have been trained in other countries an opportunity to earn a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at Loma Linda University.

In harmony with the University's focus on service, the School of Dentistry sponsors many extramural programs and conducts continuing education courses worldwide.
