Welcome to the Dental College of Georgia

The Dental College of Georgia is committed to growing in its purpose of teaching, patient care, research and service. Since inception, we have graduated nearly 3,500 dentists and dental hygienists who are now providing oral healthcare in Georgia and around the world. 

Established in 1969, the DCG is the state’s sole dental college now providing education and training for more than 300 dental students, 60 dental hygiene students, and approximately 60 residents per year.

In addition to offering a high-quality education in our state-of-the-art facilities, we provide care to nearly 60,000 patients each year, some traveling across the state or more to be treated by our students, residents and faculty.

DCG Leadership Mission, Vision, and ValuesStrategic Plan

The Dental College of Georgia at Augusta University has a long history of preparing dentists to serve Georgia and the world. Since the first class of DMDs graduated in 1973, nearly 3,500 students have earned their Doctor of Dental Medicine or Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene degree. While the location and college name have changed over the years, one thing remains constant: our commitment to educating dentists to improve the overall health and reduce the burden of illness in society through dental health and disease prevention.
