What are the best things about attending Stony Brook University School of Dental Medicine?
The best things about Stony Brook are the clinical experience and community.
Clinical experience: Our White Coat Ceremony is performed during the Spring semester of our D1 for a reason - there is an early exposure to clinical work. During D1, the clinical exposure is light. You become familiarized with Axium (the Electronic Health Record and patient management software), you begin assisting D3 and D4 students with their patients, you complete your radiology competency, and perform an independent patient screening. Throughout the fall of D2, you continue assisting in clinic, including speciality clinics like Endo, Ortho, Oral Surgery, etc. At this point, you are able to give local anesthesia and extract teeth during rotations. As soon as you come back from Winter Break (January of D2), you are assigned a roster of patients in both General Clinic and Pediatric Clinic and are officially a “student provider”! Throughout the rest of D2, you will perform operative and restorative procedures, diagnose and treatment plan, work with Perio faculty to provide prophylactic treatments, along with other things. D3 and D4 year are very clinic-heavy and you begin doing more complex procedures (crowns and bridges, removable prosthetics, surgeries). Stony Brook is also big on Digital Dentistry - there is a brand-new Center for Implant and Digital Technology where you can design and mill restorations for patients. The lab support staff are amazing. You will be doing digital work as early as D1 (scanning your wax-ups and preps), and in D4 you have multiple digital requirements in clinic. Overall, Stony Brook has very high clinical requirements which can be stressful to attain; however, students leave here feeling confident in their skills. When residency programs evaluate students, they know that a student from Stony Brook has tons of experience under their belt because of what was demanded of them in dental school. This puts Stony Brook’s students in very good standing with GPRs and specialty programs throughout the country.
