About Course

The Doctor of Clinical Dentistry (Prosthodontics) at the University of Sydney is a rigorous specialist programme designed for qualified dentists who wish to become recognised specialists in prosthodontics. The curriculum addresses advanced clinical training in prosthodontics, covering fixed and removable prostheses, dental implants, full-arch rehabilitations, occlusion, aesthetics, and orofacial pain associated with prosthodontic cases.
It integrates clinical practice in specialist settings (e.g., hospital-affiliated dental clinics, the Westmead Centre for Oral Health) with supervision by experienced specialist clinicians and researchers. According to the unit table, students must complete 144 credit points across three years of full-time enrolment to meet the requirements for specialist registration.
Graduates are positioned for specialist practice in prosthodontics (in hospitals or private specialist clinics), may pursue academic or research roles, and become eligible for registration as Specialist Prosthodontists under the Dental Board of Australia (or equivalent).
