Dr. Joshua Heyrend shared these thoughts about his
extraordinary AEGD residency experience at Roseman
YU Langone Hospitals Postdoctoral Dental
Residency Program partnered with Roseman
University of Health Sciences College of
Dental Medicine in 2015 to launch an Advanced
Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) program at
the university’s campus in South Jordan, Utah, with
four postdoctoral residency positions.
South Jordan City or “SoJo” is nestled in the Salt Lake
Valley between the Wasatch Mountains on the East
and the Oquirrh Mountains on the West, approximately
18 miles from downtown Salt Lake City.
“In the two years we have partnered
with NYU Langone Dental we have
achieved this and so much more. Our
residents see patients in top-of-the-line
operatories with access to the latest
dental technologies and a wide range
of specialists to assist with treatment
planning and care of our patients.
Residents also serve as mentors to our
DMD candidates.”
“Roseman—a private, nonprofit institution—
also has campuses in Henderson and Summerlin,
Nevada. Roseman University of Health Sciences
has helped thousands of students rethink their
futures and achieve their dreams in nursing, dental
medicine, business, orthodontics, and pharmacy
since their inception in 1999.
NYU Langone Hospitals Postdoctoral Dental Residency Program
i The AEGD residency at Roseman has
been a huge blessing in my life, because of
the growth it has offered me as a dentist.
I see a lot of difficult cases that require
comprehensive dental treatment, cases
I felt uncomfortable properly treatment
planning right out of dental school.
i Deciding to do this residency is one of
the best decisions that I have made, and
I am certain that it will help me to have a
very prosperous and successful career.
i Surgery, prosthodontics, and
cosmetics are my passions in dentistry
and this is one of the few programs that
offers such great training.
i We see a lot of medically-
compromised patients that most dentists
refer out because they are unsure how to
best treat them. My confidence in myself
in providing advanced dental treatments
has increased dramatically in the past few
months. My clinical skills have improved,
my speed has increased, and I have
learned invaluable patient management
skills.
i One of the highlights of residency is
that I have had the opportunity to take
a live patient cosmetic course, with Dr.
Hornbrook, to prep, provisionalize, and
restore 8-14 teeth in two clinical sessions.
Having the opportunity to learn from a
world-renowned cosmetic dentist and be
able to work with one of the best dental
labs in the country (Utah Valley Dental
Lab) is truly a blessing (and one of the
main reasons I wanted to come here).
We have many patients who require full-
mouth rehab and cosmetic cases and we
learn how to properly treat them.
i We have a very strong surgical and
prosthodontic background here that I am
very pleased with that includes implant
placements, guided surgical stents,
implant restorations, implant-supported
prostheses, impacted wisdom teeth
extractions, surgical extractions, sinus
augmentations, tori removals, crown
lengthening, apicoectomies, bone graft s,
conscious sedation, etc. We are using
the latest rotary endo systems (Brasseler
XP-3D and BioRaCe), using new dental
materials that we have not used before,
and are being mentored by renowned
individuals in the dental field.
