Every CODA-Accredited Program in New York

Reading the List: What New York's Accreditation Statuses Mean
The statuses shown above are CODA's own terms, not this site's. "Approval (without Reporting Requirements)" is the classification CODA grants when a program "achieves or exceeds the basic requirements for accreditation" — it's the strongest standing a program can hold, not a ranking against other programs.
The last- and next-visit years shown are CODA's own accreditation-visit schedule, not anything set by the program itself.
If a program's status is ever "Approval (with Reporting Requirements)," that means CODA has identified specific deficiencies the program must correct within a set timeframe — it is not a signal to avoid the program.
For admissions requirements, program structure, or cost, contact the program directly, and confirm its current status with CODA before applying.
Why Accreditation Matters for the Path Into Endodontics
Endodontics is one of 12 recognized dental specialties, and completing a CODA-accredited advanced dental education program in the specialty is how a dentist becomes an endodontist.
New York has 6 accredited programs, compared with 3 in Massachusetts, 1 in Connecticut and none in Vermont nearby; wherever you train, our step-by-step guide to becoming an endodontist covers the full sequence from dental school through residency, our endodontist career guide what the role involves day to day, and which dental specialty pays the most how endodontics compares with the other eleven.
Graduates of programs at University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine, Columbia University College of Dental Medicine and 4 other institutions who go on to practice in New York need a dentist license from the New York State Board for Dentistry — see New York's dentist licensure requirements for the clinical exams it accepts and the rest of what it requires.
After Residency in New York
A CODA-accredited residency is the entry point into endodontics, not the final step — practicing afterward still requires holding an active dentist license in the state where you intend to work; in New York, endodontics is practiced under a dentist license rather than a separate specialty license.
Residents who train in Buffalo, New York or Stony Brook and go on to practice in New York can search current endodontist jobs to see who's hiring now.
Where New York's Endodontics Programs Are Based
New York's 6 programs cluster in three cities: New York City holds the largest share, with Buffalo and Stony Brook each home to one program.
That spread means an applicant weighing programs within the state can choose between a downstate and an upstate setting without leaving New York.
Each program's full address and website are listed above alongside its accreditation details.

What does "Approval (without Reporting Requirements)" mean for a program?
"Approval (without Reporting Requirements)" is the classification CODA grants when a program "achieves or exceeds the basic requirements for accreditation." It's the strongest standing a program can hold — it doesn't mean anything less than full compliance.
Confirm a program's current status directly with CODA before applying.
Does it matter which New York program I attend, or which state it's in?
No. CODA accreditation is national, so a CODA-accredited endodontics residency counts the same wherever it's located — New York or any other state.
What matters for licensure is that the program is CODA-accredited, not its location.
See our New York dentist licensure page for what the state itself requires before you can practice.
What comes after finishing a CODA-accredited endodontics residency?
Graduates hold an active dentist license in the state where they intend to practice; in New York, endodontists practice under that dentist license rather than a separate specialty license.
Our step-by-step guide to becoming an endodontist walks through the full sequence from dental school through residency and licensure.
Is every program on this list accredited?
Every program above is shown with the CODA accreditation status CODA had published for it as of 2026-09-09, the date this directory was last pulled from CODA's own program search. "Approval without Reporting Requirements" is CODA's standard fully-accredited standing; other status terms on this page — such as "Approval with Reporting Requirements," "Initial Accreditation," or "Discontinued" — mean something different, and a status can change after that date.
