Dental Education and Training The path to becoming a dentist is the U.S. typically includes completing a four-year bachelor’s degree and completing four years of dental school to earn a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) or a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree. Dentists who have a DDS or a DMD have the same education and training.
