How Long Is A Dental Specialty Residency?
Ok, you are now a dentist. You have completed four years of dental school and have "Dr." in front of your name. Congratulations! At this point you can do almost any technique, diagnosis and treatment modality in all of dentistry. What if you want to specialize? You know, be an Orthodontist or Oral Surgeon? That takes more years of study as seen here in a this graphic. Most specialty programs are at least two years in length. There are some variations in programs from one school to another. For instance, some specialty programs in Orthodontics are two years and others three. GPR programs are usually one year in length.

Most specialty residencies start in the summer and run one, two years, etc. Why are some residencies listed as oddly numbered months like 32. Well it is likely in a statistical survey there are some residencies that are 24 month, some 36 months. Compiled those average out to be--32 or whatever.
