Potential applicants and interested persons are welcome to visit our clinic and see our clinic in operation. We welcome volunteers, students wishing to shadow a dentist, engineers designing implants, people thinking about dental assisting as a career, community partners, potential patients, and prospective AEGD applicants -- all are welcome at our clinic. Just come by and introduce yourself and enjoy some Southern hospitality.

Occasionally we are closed for resident training purposes, so you might want to just check on your particular date before you book a plane ticket. You can email Dr. McCracken at the address listed on the admission portal or contact Tyler Mathews by email to arrange a visit.

We offer our patients whatever procedures they need, which tends to be extractions, dentures, implants, and a large volume of general dentistry. We do not provide orthodontic services, and most of our patients are adults. We emphasize 5 areas of training for our post-doctoral residents, skills which make a year of training valuable: exodontia, implant placement, molar endodontics, digital dentistry, and procedural moderate sedation.

Potential applicants should recognize that we work very hard. Mondays start at 8:30 AM and end after seminar at 9:30 PM. We work most Saturdays. The pace of education can be difficult at times, and residents put in long hours managing cases and lab work. If that sounds exciting to you, we are happy to review your application.

Applicants can apply to our program through the ADEA PASS web page; apply to Johnston Memorial Hospital - Foundry Dental Center AEGD1593.

In general we review applications in early August, and extend interview invitations on a rolling basis through September and October. Our admission committee meets in late November, and we offer positions in early December. Our admissions and acceptance process is typically concluded by December 15.
