Why choose to study Dentistry?

Dental medicine is not a profession. It is a way of being present for a person in the moments when they need reassurance the most. The Dental Medicine program at UVVG Arad trains you to become a complete clinician—with hands that know what they are doing and a mind that understands the person in front of you, not just their condition.

Over the course of six years, you will cover the fundamentals of medicine—anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology—and progressively enter the specialty: restorative dentistry, endodontics, dental prosthetics, oral surgery, orthodontics, periodontology. The curriculum includes a significant number of clinical practice hours, conducted in the university’s own clinics in Arad, starting from the third semester.

The diploma obtained at UVVG is automatically recognized in all member states of the European Union, in accordance with European Directive 2005/36/EC on the recognition of professional qualifications. You can practice in Romania, in any EU country, or anywhere in the world where European diplomas are recognized.
