Master of Science in Esthetic Dentistry (MED) Goethe Dental School, Goethe University Frankfurt

Program description

The Master’s program “Master in Esthetic Dentistry” at the Goethe University in Frankfurt offers advanced academic training in the field of esthetic dentistry with an international focus. It is a 90 ECTS part-time program where the medium of instruction is English.

The MED program is designed for the general dentist who has already taken the first step towards the field of esthetic dentistry. It aims to qualify students for demanding synoptic treatment options by enhancing their methodological and manual skills as well as increasing their awareness of the importance of objective evaluation of esthetic cases.

As all areas of dentistry need to be combined to achieve excellent treatment results, oral- and maxillofacial surgery, dental prosthetics, periodontology, conservative dentistry, orthodontics, and dental technology-related topics play an important role throughout the whole program.

The program also presents you with the opportunity to improve your interdisciplinary and comprehensive skills in designing and applying the best treatment options.

Being completely non-sponsored and independent, the program is providing you with an unbiased view of the latest scientific insights and treatment options. Additionally, interdisciplinary topics are addressed, e.g. ethics and economics, to broaden your expertise in fields other than dentistry to gain benefit from applying different perspectives to your professional knowledge in the field of esthetic dentistry.

Our unique tutorship system supports you along the way – making sure that you always have a go-to person in case of questions regarding your patient treatment cases or master thesis.

Upon successful completion of the program, the graduates will be awarded the academic title "Master of Science (MSc.) in Esthetic Dentistry".
