About us
In 1965, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia approved the establishment of a School of Dentistry on the campus of what was then known as the Medical College of Georgia (MCG) in Augusta, Georgia. In February 2011, the Board of Regents approved the institution’s proposal to change its name to Georgia Health Sciences University (GHSU) and to change the name of the dental school to the College of Dental Medicine. In January 2013, Georgia Health Sciences University and Augusta State University officially merged as mandated by the Board of Regents and we are now called Augusta University. As the newly merged institution, we offer more than 110 degree programs and has more than 9,000 students in nine colleges. The Dental College of Georgia at Augusta University is the state’s only dental school. The first dental students were accepted into the dental program in 1969, earning their Doctor of Dental Medicine degrees in June 1973. Since that first class, the college has awarded 2,060 DMD degrees, and more than 600 certificates of training in advanced dental education programs. The College of Dental Medicine offers a four-year program leading to a doctor of dental medicine degree. Dual programs in oral biology also are available. A DCG dental education emphasizes early exposure to patients. Students begin treating patients as early as sophomore year, enjoying a seamless transition from lecture halls and laboratories to clinics. The fourth year of education is devoted almost solely to patient care. Senior students also practice their skills in clinics and facilities for eight week rotations throughout the state.

The Augusta University Graduate Student Government Association (GSGA) recently shared their gratitude for the folks who came out last week to donate blood at the Shepeard Community Blood Center bloodmobile. The blood drive collected 45 units of blood. Those units, when broken down into component parts such as red blood cells, platelets, and plasma, have the potential to save 135 lives. "This is an extraordinary impact on our community, and we couldn’t have done it without you," said GSGA Humanitarian Jaimini Patel, a DCG dental student in the Class of 2026. "It was truly inspiring to witness the camaraderie and unity that brought us together for such an important cause. The selflessness and willingness to give back speak volumes about the spirit of our AU family, and I am so proud to be part of this community." We're so proud of our students and employees for your generosity! #Dentistry #DentalSchool #HigherEducation #GraduateSchool #StudentSuccess #JaguarNation #LikeNoOther

The DCG looked spooky while cloaked in fog on this morning after Halloween. Dr. Barry Hammond, Professor in the Department of General Dentistry at Augusta University, took this without regard for ghosts or goblins who might have been loitering. #Dentistry #DentalSchool #Halloween #FacultyPride #JaguarNation #LikeNoOther
