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." "Approval (with Reporting Requirements)" means CODA has identified specific deficiencies the program must correct within a set timeframe — it is not a warning to avoid the program, only a status mid-correction. "Initial Accreditation" is what CODA grants a program that is accredited but has not yet enrolled and graduated its first class of residents.
The last- and next-visit years shown are CODA's own accreditation-visit schedule, not anything set by the program itself.
For admissions requirements, program structure, or cost, contact the program directly, and confirm any program's current status with CODA before applying.
Why Accreditation Matters for the Path Into Prosthodontics
Prosthodontics is one of 12 recognized dental specialties, and completing a CODA-accredited advanced dental education program in the specialty is how a dentist becomes a prosthodontist.
New York has 7 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 a prosthodontist covers the full sequence from dental school through residency, our prosthodontist career guide what the role involves day to day, and which dental specialty pays the most how prosthodontics compares with the other eleven.
Graduates of programs at Montefiore Medical Center - Dental Dept., University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine and 5 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 prosthodontics, not the final step — practicing afterward still requires holding an active dentist license in the state where you intend to work; in New York, prosthodontics is practiced under a dentist license rather than a separate specialty license.
Residents who train in Bronx, Buffalo, New York or one of the state's 2 other program cities and go on to practice in New York can search current prosthodontist jobs to see who's hiring now.
Where New York's Programs Are Located
New York's 7 programs are spread across five cities: two in New York City itself (Columbia University College of Dental Medicine and New York University College of Dentistry), a Veterans Affairs program also based in New York City, and one program each in Bronx, Buffalo, Rochester and Stony Brook.
That gives applicants a choice between programs in the city and upstate settings within a single state.
Use the table above for each program's exact institution and city, and confirm current details directly with the program.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many CODA-accredited prosthodontics residency programs are in New York?
New York has 7 CODA-accredited advanced dental education programs in prosthodontics, located in Bronx, Buffalo, New York, Rochester and Stony Brook.
Each is listed above with its institution, city and current CODA accreditation status.
CODA's own directory is the definitive, up-to-date source — confirm a program's status directly with CODA before applying.
Does a prosthodontics residency have to be in New York to count toward licensure there?
No. New York licenses dentists — including prosthodontists — who completed a CODA-accredited residency regardless of which state it's located in; what matters is the residency's CODA accreditation, not its location.
See our New York dentist licensure page for what the state itself requires before you can practice.
What does "Approval without Reporting Requirements" mean for a program?
It's CODA's classification for a program that "achieves or exceeds the basic requirements for accreditation," with no outstanding deficiencies CODA has flagged for correction.
It's the most straightforward of CODA's approval statuses.
Confirm a program's current status directly with CODA before applying, since status can change between accreditation cycles.
What comes after finishing a CODA-accredited prosthodontics residency?
Graduates hold an active dentist license in the state where they intend to practice; in New York, prosthodontists practice under that dentist license rather than a separate specialty license.
Our step-by-step guide to becoming a prosthodontist walks through the full sequence from dental school through residency and licensure, and board certification through the American Board of Prosthodontics is a separate, voluntary step afterward.
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.
Confirm a program's current status directly with CODA before applying.
