Cleveland Dental Institute

The Cleveland Dental Institute (CDI) is a unique combination of private dental practices built around graduate residency programs; General Practice Residency (GPR) and Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD). CDI also offers continuing education courses as well as a dental assisting program. AEGD and GPR programs are affiliated with St. Vincent Charity Medical Center. The AEGD program is focused on advancing techniques and skill sets that provide our graduates with the ability to offer a higher standard of care to their patients. The GPR was developed for recent graduates of U.S. Dental Schools and seeks to provide advanced training in the practice of General Dentistry with an emphasis on treating patients with complicated medical histories and developmental disabilities. In either program, our graduates are poised to bridge the gap between medicine and dentistry by helping both healthy and medically compromised patients to receive the best oral care possible. CDI focuses on training Residents to cultivate their knowledge and skill sets by providing advanced training in comprehensive treatment planning, implantology, periodontology, sleep medicine, orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, endodontics, and oral surgery. Our Residents are also taught critical thinking skills and literature analysis to improve decision-making in the changing world of dental medicine. Residents also learn valuable practice management and work/life balance skills so that they become successful in their careers and in their lives. Upon completion of the residency, Doctors will have the knowledge and skill to practice in a safe, comprehensive, and compassionate way toward all who need oral care. Our culture aims to provide Residents with an individualized experience in a team format so that learning and growth of the participants is always at the forefront of all that we do.
